So thankful...

We are so thankful!! We are thankful for so many things, that it would be impossible to name them all!! We are blessed with 4 beautiful, healthy children. We have Michel and Carlos still. Who would have every thought last year at this time, we would still have them. We are so thankful, and still hoping that we will have them for every Thanksgiving from here on out. We are thankful that our company Faithful Adoption Consultants is doing so well. The Lord has blessed us tremendously, we have the BEST clients, and I have built some wonderful friendships through FAC. We have wonderful friends that live in our neighborhood, they are such a blessing. We are blessed with a phenomenal church and church family. WE are blessed with a wonderful Sunday School class!! Most importantly, we have wonderful families that live close by!! We are so thankful that our families play an active role in our lives, and in the lives of our children!

Seriously, I could go on and on!! I just wanted to take a minute and share how grateful we are for all we have been blessed with. We are so thankful that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, bridged the gap for us, so that we can have eternal life!!! I am so thankful that Mina, Aidan and Michel accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior this year. As parents that is the moment we have been praying for!!

We are so excited, and they cannot wait to get baptized. I will let you know when that will be, probably sometime next month!!!

Okay, I know this was short and sweet, but I really just wanted to write out how thankful I am!!! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

A day at the park...

THese are some family photos we did, right before I left for Jordan!!! I would love for you to look at them!! They are so good!!

Halloween 2009

Just wanted to share some cute pics from Halloween!!! We had a great time. We went over to my mom and dad's house, it was great for all the kiddos to see each other dressed up! My kiddos trick-or-treat every year, but my parents and my sister let their kids do it for the first time ever this year!!! We had so much fun, despite the cold, rainy weather!! We only went to about 15 houses, but they are loaded up on candy!! After t-or-t we roasted marshmallows at my parents house!! It was great. I know the kiddos loved it!!! Carlos wouldn't let anyone touch his bucket of "googies" (aka..food, of any sort!!!). If you tried to hold it for him, he would flip out!! Sooo, funny!! We had a great time...here are a few pics...

Oh, and Happy Anniversary to me!!!

Look what my hubby got me for my anniversary!!!!




Now what do I name the little booger??? My mom says "Ditto" because he is tri-colored just like Winston and Thor.

Emory says Speck, b/c he is 1.5 lbs now, and will only be 4-5 at maturity!!!

I like Roscoe, Aidan likes Pumpkin, Mina like Pickle and Michel likes Taco!!!

Hmmmm, this poor animal is never gonna have a name!!

Suggestions, please!!!!

Charleston!!!

Well, we spent a short, but great weekend in Charleston with my best friend and her family. We had a great time. My best friend just moved last month, and my kiddos have been begging her for a map to get to her house. It was really cute, they really wanted a physical map, so they could see where she lived. We literally pulled out the globe to show them where she was in relation to us. You have to know, that Stacey has been in their lives forever. She was there for Aidan's birth, met Mina before any of our families did, she met the boys right off the bat as well! They don't know life without her being 4 houses up! We are very sad that they moved 5.5 hours away, but we are so happy we have a FREE place to stay at the beach!! Anyway, we got to spend time with Stace, Dede (her hubby, our kids call him DeDe), Ava and Landry Kate!!! We also got to visit with her sweet father-in-law!!! My kids love him, they also loving referred to him as "Grandpa". We had a great time, and cannot wait to go back!! Here are some of the pics from our fun weekend away!!!
