Thanks for dropping by! I’d love to know that you stopped by so please leave me a comment before you go.

It has become more apparent to me lately how our lives are but a vapor, quickly going by. My purpose in keeping this blog is to journal what is going on in our lives so that our daughters can have these childhood memories preserved for them. I also hope that as I share my journey I can learn from others as I seek God’s will for my life. Fortunately we are not walking alone on this journey. Our Father, our Friend, our Savior Jesus Christ is right there with us! I thank God for His patience and grace as He leads me along day by day.

The name for my blog was inspired by our two daughters who we adopted from China! Sophia (Guangchang, Jiangxi) has a big heart and a gentle, SWEET spirit. She is our Sweet Sophia. Avah (ChangDe, Hunan) is full of fun, mischief and love. She has brought a lot of SPICE into our home!!

We are blessed to have family and friends who walk with us in this journey of life. Lifting us up in prayer and encouraging us along the way as we live out this “Sweet and Spicy” life. I hope this blog will be a blessing to all those who stop by.

Happy Anniversary/Happy Birthday

Tonight we dropped the girls off at Nanny and Papa's and had a wonderful dinner at The Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown, WV. We both had the Curried Cream of Crab Soup with Lump Crabmeat!!! Yuuuummmmmy!!! Every time we go there we get that! I also enjoyed the mouth-watering Lump Crab Cakes for dinner.

Dinner was fabulous and the weather was gorgeous! Nelson surprised me with a new camera!! I say he surprised me because I told him when we were in China that the pearl necklace he bought me there would be my birthday / anniversary / Christmas gift. I was surprised that he got me a Digital SLR since I couldn't remember telling him that I wanted one. He said I have "mentioned" wanting one "on and off" for a few years now but most recently in August! He started researching them back then!! What a great hubby!!!

So he gave me the Canon Rebel XSi and I love it....I don't know how to use it yet....but I LOVE IT!!! :)

When we went to pick up the girls I was surprised with a beautiful birthday cake the girls' helped make!! Sophia REALLY wanted to make me a cake so she was VERY excited!!!
