The Year in Review

2007 has been a great year for the Hinshaws! God has done so much in our lives and blessed us in so many ways. Here are some highlights...
FAVORITE VACATION (we traveled a lot, but this topped them all)
The Pinkston's church in Hawaii - check it out.
GRANT'S FAVORITE ACTIVITY

GARRETT'S FAVORITE ACTIVITY
He learned to ride a bike this year - he was so proud! (I am attempting to upload a video of it...)

OTHER FAVORITES
spontaneous trips, football, football, and more football,the water park, cousins, our new roommate this semester - our niece Kalee, adoption research :), camping, 1st grade, Museum School, our church, new friends and old, hearing God's call, and answering, watching our kids' faith grow, summer nights outside with the neighbors, grins with missing teeth, Disneyland, 13-year-wedding anniversary, receiving our March 12th adoption appointment!

FAMILY SCRIPTURE The Lord put this scripture on our hearts as he led us to the decision to adopt. We believe this is his promise to our future daughter, and it will be on a canvas in her room. It is our prayer for her, and for all orphans.
God has moved in mighty ways this year, and we can't wait to see the continuation of his plan in 2008. It will be a year of venturing into uncharted territory, but we have no doubt it will be a year of miracles! May your 2008 be filled with the miraculous as well. God bless and happy new year!
