In March of this year the Adopting for Life conference was in Louisville, KY. A friend of ours asked if we would like to be interviewed by Crossway (who published Russell Moore’s book, “Adopted for Life“) about our upcoming adoption. The interview is now on Vimeo here, and will be on the Crossway blog sometime soon (we’re not really sure when).

At the time when this video was shot we were one week away from picking up our two kids from Ethiopia. I think you can see how excited we were, and how pretty my wife is . . .

My sweet wife sent emailed me this today for my birthday, with this caption (if you’re using a reader you have to click on vimeo link to see the video):

Josh,

We love you more than words could ever express. God has blessed us immeasurably by giving us the gift of YOU as a husband and father. Thank you for working hard every day for us, thank you for leading our home in integrity and wisdom, thank you for loving Jesus most of all.

I don’t deserve you. But I’m so thankful God has been gracious to allow me to be married to you!

It’s a joy (and an easy thing!) to celebrate the day God made this world a better place by putting you in it.

Can’t wait to see you later on today!

And then we played in water all day…
