'Mazing Monday - Charlie and Betsy Kate Jenkins

Today I want to introduce you to two utterly adorable and amazing kids that came home from the orphanage I was at on my mission trip summer of 2010. I don't believe I saw either one of them, but I've enjoyed following their families journey and recognizing places. :) Neal and Angie, now Charlie and Besty Kate are blossoming at home with their family!!

'Mazing Monday - Elena and Juliana Reynolds

Today, meet two little girls who have amazed me with their progress since being home! I started following their family's journey when they committed to two babies in the orphanage I visited. Shortly before traveling they found out that one of their babies, sweet Marlena, went to be with Jesus during her open heart surgery. And the other, John Mark wasn't available anymore. I'm glad I didn't stop reading their blog though after that, because they brought home instead two very beautiful little girls - Elena and Juliana!
