We finally got to see snow! The kids went home with their host families last Sunday night in Erie, Pennsylvania. It was chilly, but nobody was expecting the white stuff. To our surprise, we woke up the next morning and saw the ground was covered. It was the first time that the kids had seen snow in their lives. It was so cute to watch them play in it. The church took all the kids on an outing for the day, so Drew and I decided to build a snowman. Being the over-achievers that we are, we couldn't settle for just a normal sized snow man, so we built a giant one. We made a mad dash to the store to purchase eyes, a nose and mouth before the kids returned from their outing. We went for the traditional carrot for the nose, but finally decided oreos would be the best bargain since they could be the eyes, mouth and buttons. Auntie Ashley's scarf was the final touch. 
The kids loved it. As soon as we got pictures, they attacked it and ate every remnant of cookie on the poor guy. This is what he looked like several hours later...notice they didn't eat the carrot.

About Me
- Tiffany
- My husband, Steven, and I are so blessed to have 15 beautiful children this year! That brings our total children to 78! They came to us all the way from Uganda, Nepal and The Philippines. God is using all of us to give help and hope to children all over the world. The children are growing more and more in their understanding of why they are here and what their mission is. It has been amazing to see everything God is doing in and through us. Our prayer is that we make much of Jesus wherever we go, and that these precious 15 children that God has given us the responsibility to care for this year will learn to do the same thing.
