PRAYERS




Arianna has always been my prayer warrior. She will remind me every night to say prayers and wants me to repeat them many times. Then she will try to say them herself. She always ends her prayer with " my first mom Guatemala". She remembers to pray for her every night :)

TEMPTATIONS



6th graders perform a skit on what to do with temptations!! Starring Angelika and her classmates .

I am so proud of Angelika and I hope and pray she always turns to the Lord in times of temptation. :)

Waterpark






























Every year at the end of the school year our churchs rents a waterpark for the night. So Fun !!! It was a little cold but the older kids still loved it . The twins were scared at first but then loved it and didn't want to leave :)

Just loving outside

The twins pretty much live outside now from the time they get up until its dark. Then its nice because with all the fresh air they sleep really well... along with me !! Have you ever been so tired at night you can't even talk ?? Thats me at the end of the day. They are growing up more each day and cracking us up with the things they say. They are pretty much like mini adults now (so they think) -- minus the potty training -- Arianna continues to boss Brayden around on a regular basis and luckily so far he doesn't seem to mind. If he is telling me something and she decides she wants to talk she just looks at him and say " NO talking to my mom" . So he just gets quiet and lets her talk. She really thinks she is his mother . Oh they are so sweet !!! They still love there "silkies" (blankets) and they work better than a band aid when they get hurt. They both sleep through the night except at about 3 AM we hear pitter patter of little feet and its Brayden coming in our bed to snuggle. And of course we let him. On a different note it is coming up on two years since the twins were placed in our arms. I am wanting time to slow down for the reason of my babies staying babies and also I fear the more time that goes by I will forget the miracle of adoption . I know I really won't ..... but I have noticed the more time that goes by its just so normal to have the twins. Which I know is a good thing but I just don't want to forget the miracle of them. Does that make any sense !!??

Hey all .. we are doing good just trying to catch up on everything. Isn't that the way life is !!! Always running 100 miles an hour. We are waiting for summer so we can have no schedule for awhile and hopefully the twins will potty train :) Taylor is just wrapping up his baseball season and its almost ballet recital time for Angelika. So life is busy but good.
