Spring Break 2012...

Hi! I hope that you all are having a great weekend! This has been spring break for our princess! We started off the beginning of the week with me in bed sick but the end of the week improved! She went to a sweet 16 pool party, the science center, to the movies to see the Lorax and shopping for her new little sister. We had a good week. I hope you all did too!

Happy Birthday Jasmine!

Celebrating Liam!!!

Last Saturday we had the pleasure of  getting together with a few of the families we have met through adoption. You see we become more than just friends, we become a family! Our kids love each other and share a special bond. We met this past Saturday at Rainforest Cafe to celebrate Liam's 3rd birthday! We all had a great time as you will see!

Do you realize if we can sell 325 tickets we will meet our goal??? That is sooo attainable! We have worked hard with overtime, empanada sales and many other fundraisers for this adoption journey and it has all been worth it to see our precious daughters face!!! And we cannot wait to bring her home!!!
