Every year it is our family tradition to go to Pigeon Forge right before Christmas and lounge around. This year the place that we are staying has an indoor pool. We took the kids swimming and they had a blast. It was rather cool and Greg kept asking Celia if she was cold and she would say yes, but when he would ask her if she wanted to get out she would say no. She loves the pool and would jump out into the water to Greg. It was so fun to watch her and her Baba.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11

Hello from Greg and Dana. We started our journey to Celia on July 12, 2005. After many years of hoping to have a child biologically we have found that God is leading us on a different journey. A journey of adoption, just as God has adopted us. We are thrilled to have this opportunity to parent a child. We hope you enjoy going along with us on this journey.
