We'd Like To Introduce You To Our Kids

This blog is called "Adopting Our Kids" and this afternoon we did just that.  We have officially adopted our beautiful children.  Introducing...

Ava Grace Behnke

Age: 4

Favorite Toys:  Stuffed Animals and Blankets

Favorite Color: Pink

Favorite Food: What doesn't this girl love to eat?

Common Saying: "Right Mom?" after every single statement.

Funny Story: First time using a public restroom with Mommy.  While on the toilet, she proceeded to ask Mom at the top of her lungs, "Should I push my penis down?"  I suppose she picked up that technique observing her brother's potty training.

Sweetest Moment: "I love my mommy and daddy."

Abby Anna Behnke

Age: 3

Favorite Toys: Babies and Baby Stroller

Favorite Color:  Purple

Favorite Food:  Ice Cream

Common Saying: "I'm Amazing!" "I'm a Superstar!"

Funny Story:  For some reason, every time she puts on a pair of sunglasses she turns into a dinosaur and goes around roaring at the top of her lungs. 

Sweetest Moment: "Hold me forever. You're my family."

Ethan Joshua Behnke

Age: 3

Favorite Toys: Cars, Trains and Trucks

Favorite Color: Orange or Blue

Favorite Food: Guacamole and Chips

Common Saying: "Can I fart on you?"

Funny Story:  At first we started calling him "Ethan Boy".  Now, he is convinced that his real name is Ethan Joshua "Boy" Behnke and he'll proudly proclaim it if you ask him.

Sweetest Moment: "I want a hug and kiss." Then he proceeds to hug and kiss, not our faces but our legs.

And while we're at it, here are a few more.

But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir. (Galatians 4:4-7)
