Levi
Our Little Guy
About Me
- Natania and Rich
- Mom and Dad of 2 precious children and soon to be 3. This blog is the story of our journey to adopt a 4-year old little boy from China!
The Biker Gang
These three just love riding their bikes everyday. It is nice now that the weather is good. Aren't they cool in their sunglasses?
Levi, the Texan!
Levi dressed up in his cousin's hat and cowboy boots during our trip to G'Pa and G'Ma's house.
"Where's Levi?"
Levi liked playing "Peek-a-Boo" with his cousins using hats. They are at it again..Ruthie and Levi just love to play dress-up! I think Ruthie wants to try the hat on too!
Ruthie Got the Hat!
"It's my turn!" Ruthie is grinning because she got the hat! It's so hard to share sometimes! Now Ruthie's all dressed up like a little cowgirl, and Levi wants his hat back! Ha!
HUGS!!
