Update time again!

 

Sorry, it's been a while!  We've had an adventurous and crazy busy summer!

 

First, we celebrated our sweet C-weeds Adoption Day!!  You bless us sweet girl, you bless us immensely!

 

 

Then, this beautiful young lady turns 15!  Time sure does fly by.  Seems like just yesterday, we were holding her in our arms and rocking her to sleep.  Now I have to look "up" to her :-)  B, you are a beautiful girl, inside and out!  We love you!

P.S.  Please, please, please, drive carefully (yes, we have a permit)

 

 

 

We were blessed to be able to spend a month camping this summer while supporting B at her Divisional and National Championships.  This photo was taken at the Atlanta Aquarium!

Check out G and C posing....these two are genuine hams.....enough said :-)

 

And we celebrated this handsome young man's Adoption Day this summer!  We love you E and are blessed by you and your blossoming personality! 

 

 

We spent time in the pool, which V absolutely loves!  Apparently we are raising fish, all of our kiddos absolutely love the water :-)

 

 

And Miss V, now walking and chattering, is a sweet sweet blessing to all of us. 

She is a heart melter and she absolutely knows she is adorable.  Look at that smile, that is what we wake up to every morning.  It doesn't get any better than this. 

 

God is so good!  So thankful for these sweet gifts he has entrusted to us!

Update time!

Another update (this one has a surprise)!!

We celebrated Gabbrielle's Adoption Day!  We love you sweet girl!

And then it was Chloe's birthday!!  What a joy and blessing you are peanut!

We were able to travel back to the midwest for my cousin's (moms side) wedding (which I managed to somehow not take any pictures :-(

This is a family get together on my Dad's side of the family!

They celebrated my birthday! Sweet family!

Then we visited John's family!

And now some really big news!!!  Please welcome our newest blessing!  Sweet Victoria!  We are so in love!

Here's what's been happening!

This summer we celebrated our sweet and hillarious boys 3rd Adoption Day!  It has been two years already since we sat in court and waited to hear the words, "He is yours!"  Happy Adoption Day sweet boy!

Chloe has started basketball!!  She's been wanting to do this for a while now and we finally got her into a class!  She loves it and she is really really good at it! (I know, I'm a little biased :-)   They practice for about 35 minutes and then play a mock game for the last 10 minutes.  This last weeken she scored a point for her team!  So fun!

A week ago, three very special ladies in my life, threw me a baby shower!  Sherry, Judy and Bethany were so sweet to plan this beautiful shower which was such a blessing to me!  Lots of wonderful friends and family were there, it was so much fun!  Thank you!

 We have officially been "approved and waiting" almost 3 1/2 months now.  We know that our profile is out there, so we are just waiting for God's timing on our next little bundle of joy!
