Our Little "Stumbelina" & A New Family

This was Mia's Christmas program debut.  I believe she stumbles a total of 6 times...that's right...6! That's my girl!  Hey, if you're gonna do it...do it right, eh?!  If you are 3 years old & wearing new dress shoes, steps can be the devil!

Sorry about the poor video quality. I'm almost too embarrassed to post it. I don't really know what happened between my computer and YouTube. It looks fine on my computer!

Enjoy Mia vs. The Devil Stairs



And now to new family...

An online community has come together to do something special. A large group of us, 90 or so strong, have sponsored an orphanage in Ethiopia. I came upon this opportunity through word-of-mouth and by my constant & ever obsessive blogstalking. I'm assuming that some to most of us are bloggers, adoptive moms or blogstalkers. Anyway, this is something that I would otherwise keep private, but I'm so excited about what God is going to do that I wanted to share it with you and give you the same opportunity. There's a chance for the sponsors to visit Ethiopia this April, but do to finances and the hope of starting up our second adoption, I don't think it's doable for us this year. Our sponsorship is through Children's Hopechest (you can see more information about Children's Hopechest on my "Do Something" post). There are still children that need sponsorship, so if you are interested feel free to email me (angt@att.net) and I'll put you in contact with our contact person, Amy (http://bottomlysandethiopia.blogspot.com/).

Meet our new family!

She cracked me up on the steps. You'll forever treasure little videos like that. Liked the song, too.

OK...I needed that laugh today. How precious. I also love the little guy standing next to Mia with his little tummy showing for a portion of the song. Mia is adorable.

Lots of love to you guys!!! Merry Christmas.
