We reached a HUGE milestone this past week with Isabelle.
She gave all her bottles and "baby stuff" to Baby Katie. We have been bottle free for three whole days. It has been hard for her at bedtime, but she has been brave and she is so big!
We went to Wheeler Farm this past week with my friend Ali and her little boy. Ali took all these pictures of the kids. They turned out great! You can go to her website
here to see the other photos she took. If you need to get your holiday pictures done, give her a call.
The weather has been so great this past week, in the high 60's and sunny. I hope it lasts a bit longer! I can't believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner! I do love this time of year! We have so many blessing to be thankful for in our lives! Hope you all have a great weekend!
We had a great Halloween week. Sorry it has taken so long for me to post these pictures. My Friend Heidi threw a Halloween Party for the kids. They had a great time digging for buried "treasure,"
Painting pumpkins,
and eating donuts. But the biggest hit at the party was the smoking witch's brew. Ethan thought that was awesome!
And Izzie thought it was tasty!
The kids always look forward to carving pumpkins! Here is Ethan with his creation.
At the school Halloween Parade...
Izzie eating choc-o-lates. We have to thank Heavenly Father for chocolates and candies in EVERY prayer...She is definitely my daughter. I too have a sweet tooth!
Trick or Treating...
Ethan & Zach
Izzie was so excited to get so many suckers in her pumpkin.
And this is what I woke up to in the middle of the night wanting a kiss....scared the crap out of me. That crazy monkey got a punch in the nose instead of a kiss! hehehe. Erick thought he was sooo funny.
Most of you know adoption has a very special place in our hearts! The blessing of adoption has made it possible for Erick & I to be parents! I LOVE both of our Birth Moms so very much! I am so grateful for their unconditional love and their courage!
I wanted to share a post from a blog I follow. Here is
Katie's story. I was in tears as I read it.
