Sarah is Our Newest Kid!

Alright . . . we have done blog postings about all four of our kids while we have been on this trip. Oh yeah, and we have posted MANY times about our two furry kids, Sparky and Bailey.

But guess what?

We have a new fifth kid.

Sarah has only been our daughter for about eight months (since August 2, 2008), but we knew (and loved) her for much longer than that.

And we have Matt to thank for getting us SARAH! Way to go, Matt!!

Sarah is a wonderfully kind, thoughtful, generous and loving person. Not to mention intelligent, beautiful and stylish.

And she is FUN, too.

Matt is VERY lucky. And we are all crazy about her! We are so happy she has joined our family last summer.

She and Matt were in Manila (Philippines) visiting Sarah's sister Stephanie and her husband Doddy (they were married last July) for the past week.

We hope you had a great time on your vacation and an uneventful return flight (it's a doozy -- 18 hours flight time!!!).

We have really missed ALL five of our kiddos while we have been gone.

Thank goodness for Skype or I would have gone crazy!!! If you don't know what it is, go to skype.com and check it out. It is great . . . and free!
