Drew

Remember Drew? I posted about him here. My good friend Mandi and her husband Matt are in the process of adopting Drew from China. Unfortunately, adoption is expensive. Matt and Mandi have HUGE hearts (this is their second adoption), but not huge wallets. God is providing a home for Drew, and I'm excited to see how He will provide the funds necessary to bring him home. They are fundraising right now. Would you like to be a part of bringing little Drew home to his forever family? If so, click on that adorable face you see in my sidebar and make a donation towards giving this child the gift of a family. What better to invest in than the life, the soul, of a child?

Beautiful Ava

We were at a wedding about a month ago and this is what was behind the church. So...we were all dressed up, the sky was overcast, we had a beautiful setting, and we had time to kill before the reception. As an added bonus, no one had stained their clothes yet and everyone was in a relatively good mood. My dad took the photo of our family (in the header of my blog) and I snapped this one of Ava. The photos of Gabe by the fire hydrant (previous post) were taken here too.

Happy 4th Birthday, Kate!!!

Our sweet and yummy precious girl turned 4 years old last month! (I'm a little behind on my blogging I guess, especially given that it was Ashton's birthday yesterday, but that will be a post for a differet day.)






















































Chad made and decorated her princess cake. Pretty good, huh?

I love these pictures of Kate playing in our garden. She is so beautiful.





















































Her nickname is "Yummy." Why? Because, despite the fact that Kate is strong-willed and opinionated and yells thing like "Don't argue with a 4-year-old!" to her siblings when they disagree with her, she is still so affectionate and yummy to me. Happy birthday Kate; you are so loved!

WOW!

What do you think of my blog's new look??? My friend (who traveled with Chad to China to pick up her daughter ) Mandi gave my blog a make-over. She is very talented, don't you think? Anyway, she is designing blogs to earn extra money that is needed to bring Drew home from China. Drew will be Matt and Mandi's 5th child. If your blog needs a make-over and you want to help support Drew's adoption, please go over to Mandi's blog and leave her a comment and a way to get in touch with you.

The last Florida post

Yes, we've been home for over a month and it's taken this long to post the best ones.
