Looking back at 2010...

WOW!! It's 2011! I cannot believe that another year has flown by! 2010 was a huge year for the Lott family. It brought about so many changes!! I just wanted to take this post to remember all of the wonderful blessings from 2010....

On January 11th...we were told about a baby girl that might need a home...January 27th, after much prayer, we brought that precious baby girl home. Emmy Faith Lott, born on January 4th, 2010!! She was a whopping 9 lbs!

Shortly after adding #5 to our family, we found out we were pregnant in March of this year. The pregnancy was not a shock, however, the fact that I stayed pregnant was!! WOW!! 6 kids!!

On March 6th, Mr. Carson turned 2!! Such a sweet boy!! Can't believe that he is already 2!!

In June of this year, we were told that the state of Georgia would be terminating the rights of Michael and Carson's BM, and that it looked like we might actually get to adopt them!! WhooHoo! We have waited 2 years for this news!! Praise GOD!!!

Also in June, my incredible in-laws took the whole family to Disney World. This was the 1st time for all the kiddos and we had a blast!!

In July of 2010, we finalized our sweet Emmy's adoption. Again, PRAISE GOD!!

On July 26th Michael turned 5 years old!! Can't believe that he's not my little spanish speaking 3 year old anymore!!

In August, my 2 older boys started kindergarten. I cannot believe it!! I have 3 in elementary school now!! WHOA!!

In October, Emory and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary! So thankful for a Godly husband. A man that loves God, loves me more than life itself and loves all of our children more than life itself! He is an incredible husband and father!!

On November 2, Aidan turned 6 years old. Can't believe it!! Where did my little baby go?

On November 23, 2010 at 10:42 pm....our sweet Collier Anderson Lott was born. He was 5 lbs 13 oz and 19.5 inches long. He was 3 weeks early, and the most precious little baby in the world!! He came 2 days before Thanksgiving...boy was I thankful!! :)

On Thanksgiving day, my grandparents were in town and were able to meet Collier, I was so thankful for that!! They live in Alabama and it isn't everyday that they get to see our kiddos! Thanking God that they were able to meet Collier when he was only 2 days old!!

On December 5th, My beautiful Mina turned 8! Yes, 8!! Can you believe it! I can't! I am the mother of an 8 year old!! WOW! She is gets prettier and smarter by the second!!

On December 15th, we FINALIZED MICHAEL SIMS LOTT AND CARSON LOTT'S adoptions! That was 2 years in the making, and we are so THANKFUL that they are officially ours! GOD IS GOOD!!

On December 25th, we celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ!! We also celebrated the 1st Christmas as a family of 8, and Emmy and Collier's 1st Christmas!!

What an incredible year of blessings it has been!! I cannot wait to see what 2011 has in store for this family of 8! Thank you Lord for these many blessings. My cup runneth over!!
