This is there first celebrated Birthday at home! Ellie's is today and Emma's is tomorrow BUT we got started a day early since big bro Matt and Caitlin were in town!
The kid have seen everyone else have their birthday and now they FINALLY go their chance!
The kid have seen everyone else have their birthday and now they FINALLY go their chance!
They are such precious treasures and we are so thankful to have them in our family! Ellie and Sarah have lots of fun together! The both love to laugh!
They have waited and waited for this day! I have actually been a little nervous- I just wanted it to go well! I want them to "for once" have good memories!
We love them so much! They have helped us to grow in so many ways! They have made our hearts grow bigger and given us more patience!
I have realized how much others need me and depend upon me to be my best each day. It has made me completely lean on God. Only He can help me with that! This morning I felt an ounce crabby but knew that I would set the tone for the day. I went straight into prayer and gave the day to Him. In hopes that our day and behavior would glorify HIM!
These two are adorable together and this big bro thinks his little bro is pretty cool! Johnny has done so well adjusting to all the sibs and his semi crazy parents! That actually should be a post because we had a time where this was NOT what he wanted!
Katie was making movies of the kids hula dancing(she just got back from Hawaii- gee, isn't life tough, Kate)! Hopefully I can get my hands on it and post it- I think its pretty funny!!
Johnny with the birthday girls!! He has definitely grown through the adoptions- it has been very positive for him!
Yesterday was Caitlin birthday!
Happy Birthday Caitlin!
And she had many helpers with the gift opening!
And now for the big event!! Their very first time opening birthday presents! They were so so so over the moon excited!
They did not need any helpers but loved having the audience!!
Each of them got their very own birthday cake!
Please please, come on over for a slice! We have plenty to go around!
My heart is so thankful for these blessings!!
Katie is sleeping on the couch- jet lag finally hit her!!
Mark is in Fiji studying coral and getting stung my starfish. Billy was at work- it's busy season for him so he couldn't join us.
Honestly even lighting the candles was exciting!
And then we sang "Happy Birthday". That was almost too much for them! Emma couldn't even bring herself to look at the camera!
Thank you God for a wonderful evening!
We are all so grateful to YOU!
(Sammy's birthday is next - in August!)
