" Life is good"

I love my kids and hubby too...

James came down for the Labor Day weekend. Lize would not leave his side. No mater how many times we go to the beach, the kids never get bored. The other day Will said " theres gotta be a beach in heaven, this is perfect". Having all of us together made it awesome.

Thanks soo much.....

Thanks for the love and support my bloggy friends! Here are some pictures from the past weeks. Included are pictures of our wonderful visitors. Thanks. I love you all!!!

GOD is in control..........

Lots of changes have taken place in the past few weeks. The kids and I have moved from WI which we loved, to Florida. It's nice to have my parents around but I miss my "home" in WI. I miss my church and friends. The boys started school on Monday. I never do well with them starting school but this was even harder. Dropping them off with new strangers was rough. Having James up there is the very hardest. Trying to explain to 2 & 3 year olds Daddy's "at work" is too much. At times it's overwhelming being away from James. In 19 years we have never been seperated this long. Thank GOD for our friends the Jameson's who helped us move in and the Grows. Vicki gave me a wonderful day and Richard has been taking awesome care of James. We have been blessed in so many ways. I know everything will come together and soon I will see why we've been called here but I'd sure love a glimpse....

SUMMER FUN

We took the METRA to Chicago. My 3 boys love Chicago. The park is there favorite. The girls were excited about everything. Ecspecially the train and the American Girl "Dolly" Place. No one would believe a recession was happening by looking there. It was packed with lots of money changing hands. The girls had a gift certificate. We pulled their money together and got asian bitty baby twins. Their names are now Lila and Cloe.

Everyday life....milking it for all it's worth

Lize's WI readoption. We got the same judge that
Sofia had.

Our visit to Indiana was great. Uncle Micheal keeps getting older. The nieces keep getting taller & older. Baby Brady is awesome. A miracle worth waing for.

We got to go to Indiana Beach with my best friend Tina and her son Luke. We had so much fun. It was such a bittersweet visit though knowing we are going to be leaving soon.

What we know about Lize Grace 8 months later....

She loves the park and to CLIMB

She loves her "bid siser Sosi"

Lize loves to play, run, jump and CLIMB.

Lize loves "Donalds cheezabuders"

She loves the pool and swimming.

Most of all she loves "strawberry miltsakes"

We are blessed in every way to have this sweet little girl. She is the most Joyful child we have been blessed with so far. Her kindness, caring, loving spirit is overwhelming. She is so very patient. We can't imagine what GOD saw in us to give us this sweet child but are forever grateful!!! AAC is in our hearts forever.

Who would have known......

Who would have known that by mommy going to the bathroom ALONE that Sofi would find a sharpie marker and Lize would move a chair to climb on the counter to get the strawberry quick. Sofi came down stairs saying " I rand outa paper to write on but I twied to clean up". When I went to get cleaner for Sofi, Lize was standing in the middle of the kitchen. All she said was "nummy mommy". LIFE IS GOOD!!!

GOD is great!!! Happy 5th Birthday to our sweet friend Faith!

Things have been crazy fun around here! No complaints.....GOD is GREAT!
