It's Official!!

We have received Mazzy's FINAL ADOPTION papers this week!!!

Up until now we were her Legal Guardians and planned on finalizing the adoption in Canada, but when we decided to stay in Uganda a bit longer (...until spring 2011!!) we thought we would try to complete everything here, and it all went very smoothly, yeah!!!

Mazzy, with her Adoption Certificate!!

Gotcha

Mazzy joined our family 2 years ago today!! Her incredible joy, sense of humor and love for life is such a blessing to our family!

Mazzy Lee Stella

April 23rd, 2008 we became a family of 6!! We are thrilled to introduce Mazzy Lee Stella; Mazzy means precious, and we love that it was already a part of her name {Namazzi Stella} Lee is for our 3 sisters and Stella is also a family name on Jeff’s side so we are happy keep it!

Thank you everyone for continuing to pray for our family in Uganda. We are all healthy and really enjoying our roles here. We have been abundantly blessed!

Coming Home!!!
