My Favorite Models!














Things are going pretty well so far as a family of four. Bennet was sick yesterday and feeling pretty ruff but today he is fever free and feeling much better. We braved church this morning, he did great, almost made through the whole service! We have a ped. appointment for Bennet on thurs. which I'm looking forward to. I want to get him checked out and feeling good! I will post soon about our trip, I have so many things to write about but haven't gotten all my thoughts together yet. More to come...

those are the cutest pics ever!! i am not sure if its the photographer or the models but i think perhaps both! i havent commented for awhile but i just want you to know how happy and relieved i am that your family is finally all together. truly an answer to many prayers. jason, you are a trooper and definitely get father of the year award! i can only imagine the plane flight and all you contended with. and we thought ours was bad! but now bennet toufiq is home and he can start his life with his wonderful family in the good ole USA!! i love you all so very much. mommie

ok, one more comment. this was the journey of a lifetime and i will never forget it. i cant wait for bennet toufiq to get older so i can tell him stories about his homeland. the people of ethiopia were the best part, i think. they are such a gracious and loving culture. the poverty there is unbelievable and they are so behind us in so many ways--even the year. yes it is the year 2000 there! but the people are truly beautiful. although i cant say it was a fun trip, i can say it is a trip that i wouldnt trade. just getting to share all these emotions of meeting toufiq's mother, seeing the orphanages and seeing the country--all the memories we shared, i am so glad we went with you. and now your beautiful son is home. it has been a long long journey for you all. love, mommie

Hi Ashlee, you don't know me but I know your sister and have been following both of your stories/journies. I was brought to tears when I pulled up your blog and saw your daughter, Bennet, and the rest of the family were finally brought together here in the states. What an amazing walk of faith you guys have shown. I know God will continue to bless you...and congrats on finally getting your family together!
