Thank you so much for all of your kind words, cards, and gifts this Christmas!  It was very difficult for me to be away from your sweet kiddos the week before break, but I knew that they would be in great hands with Mrs. Veenstra and Miss Tonya holding down the fort -- and they were!

Since arriving home yesterday, I have stopped into the classroom and seen pictures and videos from the Frog Room last week.  WOW!  They sure kept busy in there!  I was so happy to hear that everything went well and now my hope is that all of your boys and girls are healthy, happy, and enjoying a relaxing Christmas break with the people they love.  I will be so excited to see them in January!

My week in Ghana was better than we ever could have imagined, and I am now pleased to introduce you to the newest member of the Nelson family...

Elias Emmanuel Nelson

We were able to attend court on December 19, and this little man officially became a part of our family and gained our last name.  We could not be happier!  Everything is now in the hands of the US Embassy in Ghana and we will wait for them to finish processing our final paperwork before we are able to travel again to bring him home.  We are hoping that Eli will be home in Zeeland, for good, sometime this Spring.  Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and support; I will keep you posted!


Wishing you joy and peace this holiday season!
