Daycare field trip to our neighborhood park and splashpad

Gym birthday party

A couple of weeks ago Poopie was able to go to a birthday party for one of his classmates which was held at a gymnastics studio. It was a clever place for a bunch of 6 year olds to get out their energy. :)

Last week Andi went to church girls camp. I am sooooo happy to be a part of such a wonderful church that offers so many programs for the youth. :)

We LOVE Kaleb's swim school. In 4 months he has moved up 4 classes!

He was very excited to earn this shirt. :)

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! :)
