Almost 4 yrs old

Memory Lane

So these are the first pictures we saw of the twins . It was a Friday we verbally accepted the referral and then on Monday these pictures came. It was a killer to wait all weekend for the pictures but I know it was Gods timing because over the weekend we fell in love with them . And then Monday we got a call of bad news , our agency found out this was to be a abandonment case because at hours old their birthmom left . So on Monday the agency asked if we still wanted this referral or would like to switch because it was going to be a long complicated one . But of course we chose to stay on board knowing these were our children .

To be continued ...

3 years ago today

foster mom saying goodbye .. awwww

3 years ago today we moved to Guatemala to foster and met the twins for the first time . PRICELESS but CrAzY:) I miss Guatemala so much and would love to spend more time there .....but I think we have to wait until our kids are older . BUT if given the opportunity to be full time missionaries there I would go in a second (Mark on the otherhand might not agree:)

Thanks and Braydens mood swings

Thanks soooo much for the support everyone !! I felt better with each and every comment that I read !!


Arianna is pretty even keel ... Fiesty YES agressive at times YES but for the most part she throws her fit and then is done.

Brayden on the other hand .. can we say DRAMA KING ??? These pics were seriously taken within about a 5 minute timespan. LOL

Overwhelmed

Wow lately I have been so overwhelmed and kinda in a funk. Having twin 3 yr olds is hard . They are so challenging and naughty alot of the time. So much so that I don't want to have them around other kids ... they will just fight with them . So kinda feeling sorry for myself here LOL I actually feel like people avoid me because of my toddlers ... PLEASE tell me it gets easier and they get nicer LOL

Summer days are here

The twins are loving the weather and will be outside all day . But then I can't get anything done inside .. Oh well :)

Brayden needed a break

Bray needed a break from all the intensity of Guatemala .........

This was at our friends house in Guatemala City

Just some thoughts ......

Still trying to process everything we saw and experienced in Guat . We had to do the kids message at church so I made this video and tried to write some of my feelings .

One thing that came to me while being there (in guate) is that when you go to a third world country its very overwhelming. You see so much need and wonder where to start. And if you could possibly make a difference (with so much need ) . But one thing God kept reminding me of is that we make a difference one life at a time and then in turn hope and pray that person will will make a difference to someone else .. causing a ripple effect . Of course this applies anywhere in our life , even in our own town but especially in these countries where they don't know God and therefore have no hope .
