First Day of School.....
Sharing our first day of school pictures.....
Elizabeth's a Junior and Sam is a 7th Grader... Grace is in 4th Grade.... Bella is in afternoon preschool.... And, I also had my first day of "school" teaching my class....but no photo here! :)
Hello! My name is Paula Burckhard. I am married to Kevin and have five children: Elizabeth (17), Samuel (14), Grace (11 w/Down syndrome), Bella (6 w/Down syndrome adopted from Ukraine 2009); and Nole' (4 w/Down syndrome adopted from Serbia 2011) We are a family that loves God and desires to bring him Glory in all we do.
Nole' (listed as Nathan) Came Home on March 2, 2011 from Serbia!
Bella Bogdana Burckhard
This "beautiful gift from God" has been given to us through the miracle of adoption. She became part of our family in August 2009. We are excited to see how God will use this Ukrainian princess for his glory!
Awwww, they all look so cute! I love the way Grace tilts her head for the picture, so cute! Jimmy does that too sometimes.:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome bunch of kiddos you have, Paula and Kevin!
