Becca's Masterpiece!


This is one of Becca's latest masterpieces! It is one of my favorites. It is, according to her, a picture of her and Daddy at the beach. They are holding hands, of course, and getting ready to go surfing!
I love it!

Van Kirk Staycation!


I finally was able to upload our pics. on the new computer so I can share some of our staycation at Mill Creek Resort in Canton, Texas. We had a great time!


The little cottage we stayed in was nice and it is nice and quite since they do not allow the cars to drive back. You either have to rent a golf cart or call them for a ride in one.


They have a couple of pools that are nice and not too far is the Kingdom Splash Park. We drove a little farther and hit a farm to pick blueberries. The girls had a great time.


We hope to go back in the fall because there is a farm that does hayrides and you can get pumpkins.




Becca wanted to celebrate her Adoption Day at Chuck E. Cheese and really where else would you go. She had a great time and was especially thrilled that Daddy was there with us since normally it's the three of us who going on weekdays.

That night we looked over her pictures and talked about her adoption day. I can still remember it vividly. What an amazing moment!

July 5th Becca's Adoption Day

Sunday July 5th was Becca's Adoption Day! I can't believe it's been 4 years since she was placed in my arms in China. All I could do was cry and hold her close. It had been a long journey to Becca, but in that moment none of it mattered.

Jim had to wait a while to hold her. I just didn't want to let her go.
