But first, I just have to share.... I went out of the room for a few minutes and when I came back in, this is what I saw Can you believe it. My little doll has only been crawling a few weeks and now she is already pulling herself up. Here are just a few more pics of my babies playing today. Another great thing that happened today..

I am super excited That Ollie has the same teacher that Sara did 13 years ago for 1st grade. This lady is amazing!!!

In a blink of a eye

Image
It amazes me how your life can change in a blink of a eye. It was a year ago this month that "A" came to us, totally out of the blue and asked if we wanted to adopt her baby. Even though in my heart I still felt like we where not through, I was totally happy with what we had. Colt was already such a miracle and blessing, I felt that I could not expect or ask for anything more. Yet again, God showed us that He is bigger then anything that we can imagine.  We did not even have to think about it, both Jeff and I knew that this was "our" baby. We said YES! YES! YES! I was on a cloud. I felt so blessed and honored. Then.... the roller coaster began. I will be honest, we where put through hell. Our story is even to unbelievable and crazy for a Lifetime movie of the week.  It is only with the grace and mercy from God that we got through everything that was thrown at us for the next three and a half months.Through it all, Jeff and I became closer to one another and...

I LOVE these faces

Every time I look into one of these little faces my heart melts. I know everyone thinks they have the cutest, sweet, smartest kids-- They are wrong! I do!! Haha.... I just love living life with these little angels. Everyday is new and a adventure. Even the worse days are wonderful, even if I do not see it at the time. Oliver came home today after visiting his Nana and cousins. We missed him so much. Four days doesn't sound like long, but our home just is not complete without our little Ollie Bear. Colt will ask for him several times a day. Ollie playing with his new Leggos Today has really been a good day. Sara came over and we where able to have such a good conversation. It is crazy to me that my first baby will be 20 in just a few months. She is not my little girl any more, she is a young woman. But of course in my eye's she will always be my baby. It is nice though, to be getting to know her on a friendship level. I went to my favorite baby boutique, La Bebe...

Our weekend.......

Image
I had been looking forward to this weekend for so long. It was a light at the end of the tunnel, a much needed break. The MOPS (Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers) DGL (Discussion Group Leader) retreat. But sadly it was not meant to be. Lilly was sick and Colt was not feeling well so I stayed at home to care for my babies.                                              Colt picked me a flower for the first time.                                               He was so excited and proud to give it to me. I was able to take them outside for a few ...

My sweet sweet doll baby, Lilly. I can not believe that you are 8 months old today. You are growing and changing way to fast. You are becoming your own little person with such a sweet personality. I will never get over the awe of being your mommy. I am so proud of you. Of how sweet you are. Of how beautiful that you are. Every one who sees you can not help but to smile. you are my little doll. I love playing dress up with you. It seems that you have hit several milestones this past month. Even two big ones just today. Here are are few things about you--- * You are starting to try and "talk" more. It is so cute the way you bob your head up and down and in your little voice say" Bah bah bah bah" and when I do it back to you, you giggle like it is the funniest thing ever. * You are such a good sleeper. I put you in bed around 8 and you play until you fall asleep. Most of the time you sleep all night. * You weigh 16 lbs and you are wearing a 9-12 months in c...
