Father/Daughter Date Night

I'm willing to share the best guy in the world with these two.

Well, occasionally, that is!
Thanks, Andy, for being such a wonderful example for our girls! I love you!

Handful

. . . in the best possible way!

Quality Fun

We provide only the best in entertainment for our girls.

Who knew flat boxes could be so much fun?!

Rejoice

"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:4-9

God  has once again given us the peace that He is in control of our adoption and that He will provide all we need in His time. We received another adoption grant in the amount of $4,000 this week! Also, thank you to those of you who continue to surprise us with checks in the mail! I was adding up the totals, and we've received $12,165 dollars from friends, fundraisers, and grants in the 11 months since we began our adoption process. Adding this to what we have already paid, we have covered over half of our total adoption expenses! 

 
A special thank you to these two wonderful organizations who have generously provided grants for our adoption! 


"Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I will say rejoice!"

Hotel Beds

Hotel beds are great for . . .

breaking all the rules

by jumping on them

to release pent-up energy.

Tickle fights

and some girlish wrestling might also break out on hotel beds.

Belly flop competitions 

are the best on hotel beds,

and they are also a pretty great place to crash at the end of a long day! 

First Flight

I don't know how long the girls have been begging to fly, but their wish finally came true! 

I think it more than fulfilled their expectations. Their favorite part, by far, was experiencing some slight turbulence when we went through a heavy patch of clouds. I was fully prepared with a backpack for each full of entertainment - I should have known better! Who has time to read, color, or play with dolls when there is so much to see?!

Sister, Sisters, There Were Never Such Devoted Sisters

*Bonus points if you know that song and what movie it's from! ;)

I love these girls, and I'm so glad that my two girls have each other!
