God Smiled on Us Today

First time they met



First time she smiled




In a remote Kazakh village, God smiled on us today.

Born 4-10-2009, the newest Lockwood!

  1. Congratulations! She is beautiful. Sounds like those warm winter jackets are really coming in handy....now maybe you could find some grips for Monte's shoes to keep her safely on her feet. :)

  10. Everyone here is GLUED to their computers, anxious to hear how you all are. Those first pics came on last night, and there were collective sobs of joy ringing thru town! We all love you guys, and continue to pray around the clock. Sorry you fell Monte, but I have to admit I was nearly falling out of my chair laughing at the mental picture Rich gave us. Also laughing at the thought of you and all your luggage...only Monte! God bless your days with your new baby...what's her name?!?!?!?! love ya jan
