Crazy and Wonderful!

This weekend was crazy and wonderful at the same time! We are trying to pack, get the house and the schedule ready and get all the paperwork. Johnny has two out of town soccer tournaments and spring break during the time we are gone. Everything needs to be worked out ahead of time- we will be for the most part unavailable.

This weekend he had an end of the season Basketball tourney- they won the championship!! 

Mark came home for part of his spring break and we celebrated Billy's b-day!

Anna only left her jammies in time for dinner!

WE picked up the VAN! I think we will name he Vanna (White ;-). After all she is a saVanna!

We are going to love it! It will allow us to bring home more children and ride comfortably!! My heart has changed to being grateful! The kids are very excited and we already have Ava and Sam's carseat in there!!

When we got to the dealership- Hubby looked at the van in front of ours and said "Oh Honey, they added some green paint to it and now they are selling sandwiches from it! Ha- very funny!!

Everybody is starting to get used to the idea that SHE is OURS!

On Sunday evening we celebrated Billy's B-day. It's on Tuesday but that is much too close to the big travel day for me- so we got together on the weekend instead while Mark was home!

The girls are always so thrilled to see Mark! He is a novelty since he is at college and rarely gets home.
He is such a kid at heart but after awhile they wear him down!

It is so heartwarming to have the kids home! We were missing big bro Matt and Caitlin. Wish they could have been here but they are on Colorado.

We all sat in the porch and chatted and played! It's our favorite gathering place!
It's so nice to have this time before we leave for China!

Happy 23rd Birthday Billy! 
We love you!!

The weekend was wonderful but crazy busy!
I wouldn't have changed a thing!
Thank you Jesus!
