Easter 2011

And their off! Everyone was running so fast in a different direction the camera went blurry. :)

After church we had My cousin Scott, his son Chris and Goosey's birth mom over for Easter Dinner.

Ready for the egg hunt in our back yard...

Chris' turn to find his basket. Poopie was telling them if they were hot or cold. :)

Happy Easter!

We avoided a meltdown over Kaleb's Easter basket with one orange lolli-pop. :)

This was Andi's 1st year in band. Eric and I were very surprised by how good this 6th grade beginning band played. Two weeks ago they were in a competition against other North Texas beginning bands and they won 1st place. :)

Below: A short video... :) They sounds great for their first year~

Their morning routine :)

What? It's time for this already?????

How can this be? How is it possible that it's already time to register my perfect baby boy for kindergarten? Ouch.

Spring is in the air! Time for yard work!

As the family supervisor, I love to see everyone working! :)

About Our Family...

Eric and I married in Dec. of 2003 and we are the parents of 5 beautiful adopted children. Our two oldest children were placed with us through foster care at ages 5 and 6. We knew someone from our church who was adopting them and she could not continue with the adoption so we took them in and their adoptions were final one year later. Our youngest son was placed with us at 3 days old through private adoption. His birth mom had him in her high school restroom on the toilet. She said she didn't know she was pg. We are SO grateful that her and the birthfather chose adoption even at their young age. Our friend worked at the hospital where he was taken and she helped facilitate a private adoption. We had no idea of him until 5 hours before we brought him home! No bottles, no baby items, no car seat, nothing! :) Our middle daughter came to us through our church adoption agency. Her birth mom picked us out of a bunch of profiles after getting to know our family when she was about 20 weeks along. We were so blessed to bring her home straight from the hospital when she was three days old. Our youngest baby came home at 3 days old. Her birth mom is a close friend whom we have known for two years. She is SUCH A DOLL! We are sooo grateful to have her join our family. We moved from So.California to N.Texas in Dec.of 2006. We love it here and are glad to have an affordable home! :)
