A Matchbox Car

This is one of Rock's favorite matchbox cars because it goes really fast.  We have recently learned that the Serbian flag consists of a red, white, and blue flag.  It has been so fun to learn about the country of Serbia as a family.  The serbs celebrate Christmas on January 7th, 1/3 of the world's raspberries come from Serbia, and there is a huge minority of Roma people in Serbia.  The Roma people are what you and I would call gypsies.  There are many Roma orphans needing to be adopted.  Through this process of adoption, God has brought Trey and I to a place, where our arms are open wide, and the cry of our heart is "God, we want you to make our family beautiful....whatever that looks like."  The bottom line is that last Spring we began to pursue a blonde hair, blue eyed boy in Russia and now we cannot wait to bring home a darker skinned, dark eyed, dark hair little Roma boy that will share a room with his brother, Rock.
