Family Day

Forever molded into our hearts and so incredibly thankful that God brought you to us! September 19, 2005....what an incredible day!

Actually, we got to complete September 19th twice due to flying home, but I'll let that slide. To look back now, I can totally see each of your personalities on that plane ride home.

Things that I learned in such a short amount of time:
To change a diaper on a plane (okay...to change a diaper, period) times two!
Feeding times two! So thankful that there was three of us to handle the two of you!
I heart Korean Air!
K- you love being the center of attention and was quite content to sit with Gramma and the rest of us as long as you were being held, fed, and played with.
C- I still feel bad for your plane ride home. Hopefully the other passengers have long forgotten the trip. However, very thankful to all the women and flight attendants who took the time to help us out. Well...and actually just take you.
I still remember looking at Jeff and wondering if I should be okay with everyone taking him, or be happy that he wasn't screaming.
We all survived!

On today, I am most thankful for the birth mom who chose the most incredible gift that I believe can be displayed here on earth! First, you chose life! Second, you were amazingly brave, selfless, courageous and so thoughtful, that you chose to give your boys up for adoption! What an inspiration you are. (While what I would say to our birth mom will remain private, my prayers are always that she has felt God's presence in her life and a sense of peace with her decision).

I also am so thankful for our foster mom and her mom who loved and took care of our boys until we could bring them home. These women, as all the foster moms are, are truly devoted to our children. They love our children so much! I am so glad we had the opportunity to meet them and even be given the gift of visiting their home. So many specials memories!

6 short years! Wow! Time has flown! We are so blessed!

Tuesday's Tidbit

GREAT way to contain your kids!!!! Actually, I love the fact that my buddy was willing to let us bury him. It probably helped that a cookie was waiting for him when we were done. Thanks buddy!!!

First Grade!

We started First Grade this week!

"I am excited for Phonics and playing with my friends!"

My boys are moving at lightning speed. I thought it was just a few months ago that they were crawling around and taking 2 naps a day. Now we have entered the school years full force and look forward to lots of fun!

Cheeeese!

What first day is not complete without a family picture!

"I am excited for writing and math!"

Pretty Pretty Princess

Hi!
I have 2 older brothers. I have 2 older brothers who like to play with swords and little green army men and build things out of their legos. I have 2 older brothers who like to take my things and then use them for other things. I have 1 older brother who ties all my things together. They want to be a baseball player and a police men when they grow up.
I want to be a mommy.
I want to be a mommy who gets to wear princess dresses.
I like to play with my dolls and stuffed animals and dance and twirl and make silly songs.

Some day, can I boss my older brothers around?
