The Joy of This Boy!

We are watching our sweet World Vision child grow!

He loves anything Spiderman (Guess what kind of shirt kiddo is getting for Christmas?!)

He is doing well in school, is healthy, and loves art!

He even drew us this picture!

Sometimes God Changes Our Plans!

Remember how we spoofed you all into thinking we were having a baby?

But really we had "adopted" another World Vision child?

Well, we had picked that child because his birthday was the same day we got engaged, so we wanted to share it with another exciting moment!

No sooner had we sent him a birthday gift than we got a letter in the mail stating that he moved out of the program and they had assigned us a new child...

Enter our SWEET new boy Edgar de Jesus!!

World Vision offered us him, or said we could choose another.

It's amazing when we know the Lord is working, because we both said instantly that THIS was our boy, and we weren't going to choose another just because we wanted to have his birthday be a certain day.

THIS is our boy!

He is a wonderful part of our family now!!

Edgar is four, and he lives in Sendero de Esperanza, El Salvador.

Sendero de Esperanza means "Trail of hope" in Spanish.

I think that name is wonderful!

Anyways, about Edgar...

His full name is Edgar de Jesus.

His birthday is February 25, 2009.

He is an only child, and his dad works as a farm laborer.

He is healthy and will be going to school soon.

LOOK at those EYES!!!

I just adore them!
