Ellie Grace loves the water and Anna Mei was dying to swim so tonight we headed to the roof top to try it out. Ellie was a fan! She will fit in at our house just fine.

About Me
- Leslie
- I am a Christ follower, wife of 20 years to my best friend, and a stay at home momma to five amazing daughters. I am currently waiting for one precious special needs treasure to come home from China. I am passionate about the orphan and special needs adoption. I love to teach God's word, am involved in youth ministry alongside my dh, and love,love, love cooking. Above all, I desire to serve God and surrender my life to His call.
