Author Archives: admin I can’t believe TODAY–June 27th–marks ONE YEAR since I first held our sweet boy in my arms. This Saturday, July 2nd–will be the day Isaac came home and met his daddy and siblings for the first time…and I can’t wait to celebrate!!! This Wednesday is our re-adoption day where Isaac will officially be readopted in […]  My VBFF came over today with her NEWBORN baby…just a week old and I took newborn pictures for her. OH…so precious! {here is a sneak peak for ya Kelly!} No–I’m not photographing babies–or children–or families–again:). Just my sweeties and the sweeties of my VBFFs:). Life as it should be for this momma. But how stinking […] hey, i want fried green tomatoes when i come to visit…plus the dipping sauce 🙂 kj Girl, of course I read every word! Your blog is my very favorite! 🙂 Guess Google reader knows that now too because it’s always listed first when there’s an update. So happy you for you guys in your celebrating this week – God is so good and faithful in providing for Isaac and your every need! Praising the Lord with you! And PS, how in the world did you get that gorgeous photo in the tent in the dark? External flash? I hang on every word – and I am relieved to hear that I am not the only one who forgets to purchase items until after we are out! Congratulations on the exciting week ahead. 🙂 me too! me too! i heart this blog…and the crazy, fun family facts you add. i have had that happen, too, but we used cloth w/out littlest and i had forgotten to put a load of diapers in the dryer when i realized i had just used my last one. we made a “make-shift” diaper. not something i will ever have to experience again, thankfully. <3 FUN! We camped out too! Did you know it was the great american backyard campout night last night?!?! perfect timing 🙂 Love this! Sounds like the most wonderful night. Can I just say that I love that when I read “I just realized we were out of diapers.” I think I have read that more than once on your blog and I absolutely love it. Sometimes I read and wonder how do you do it all and then I read something like that and laugh out loud because you are normal and do crazy things like the rest of us. LOL.  Rico Suave has been out of town all week…and he is home:). Ever just have those weeks you feel like you need an award because you made it?! I have not ONE picture from our week–but let me tell you some highlights… …welcomed a precious adoption family to our home for a night–with their 5 […] sounds like a delightful week to me! But I know you are LOVING having the hubby back home!:) Chester and Twitchy. And you are the most awesomest friend ever for keeping them through all those episodes! I wouldn’t have blamed you if you just turned them loose in the woods!!! We will absolutely be reimbursing you for the doctor bills! Thank you! Love you!  We’ve been in full swing all summer…EXCEPT this week–we’re trying our best to really gear down and slow down. AND today–I had a precious babysitter come over so I could get adoption stuff done–but instead of getting errands run I ended up sitting in a parking lot reading Psalms. Just what momma REALLY needed. Playing […] Time does fly by and you are so wise to savor the moments now with your little ones. We just took our oldest to college this week…11 hours away from home (from Iliinois to Georgia Tech) and oh how my mommy heart yearns for just a few more moments…., Because of this post, I am going through old pictures of my babies now 22 and 15 (adopted from foster care at age 9). It is amazing how fast time flies by and how precious those memories of the “little” days are. Reliving adoption day all over and how utterly happy we all were (and still are) brought tears to both of us. Thank you for that. Enjoy the day…we certainly will and it will include no laundry here either! That is so very true. It is going by so fast! My heart is overwhelmed some days with how fast the times passes. If you’ve never heard of Maria’s Big House of Hope…you must! (Turn off music up top before viewing!) This is where precious little Jaelynn lives…for the last 3 years. Let’s pray for her a family. Let’s pray her home. You, Lord, are the God of our stories. I pray you write each of them–for Your […] |

Happy One Year Gotcha Day Anniversary to precious Isaac!!!
Happy one year home Isaac!
Blessings,

Fun to look back at the memories of his year home – I’ll be thinking about you guys this week while you pass more beautiful milestones.
Tears come flooding back….remembering that first post when you shared about your little boy….. Remembering pleading with God on your behalf to work in his life, to save him, to heal him, to help him to have such a testimony as to blow the world away for HIM! Just thinking about it brings back memories of all the HUGE things God has done. The love I know that has brought about healing even in those very tough moments I KNOW you have faced over and over and over. I am filled to overflowing with emotions for you…..oh the goodness of God never ceases to amaze me!!!
LOOOOVVVEEEEEE seeing how God has used your family for HIM! PRAYING still as God brings you another child to raise for HIM!
YIPEEE JESUS!! You stepped out knowing God can….and God HAS! Nothing more beautiful than that 🙂
SOOOO right Dawn!!! Glory be to God!!!!!! Thank you sweet sister for praying for my boy!!! You were there right from the beginning! So thankful for your consistent prayers on our boy’s behalf!!!!! We are family indeed!
Happy one year in the arms of your family Isaac! You have been a part of our families prayers for over a year and it’s so amazing to see how God has worked in all the details!!
