Happy 6th Adoption Day!

Eddie Turns 50!

This handsome boy (pictured here with his Granddad) turned 50 today!

Emily Turns 7

Emily turned 7 today. Thank you, Birth Mother Natalia, wherever you are.

Emily asked to start the day opening presents in her bed, and we were happy to indulge. We had pancakes and sausage for breakfast, pizza, popcorn and birthday cake for lunch while watching Barbie's Magic of Pegasus, and we are going out for dinner before gymnastics class.

It is an interesting age. She wants an American Girl doll, says she is too old for baby dolls, but is perfectly tickled to get the the My Little Pony "Baby Bella" (as she calls them) from her brother.

E's Birthday Party

E's 7th birthday party theme was Littlest Pet Shop. We decorated treat bags with LPS stickers, played unwrap the package for LPS critters, colored LPS pictures, ate LPS cake, and played musical chairs.

It was a lot of fun!! Emily wanted to dress up for the party, and have her hair up in a bun, which she likes for special occasions. Some friends couldn't come, but we had a good mix of family, neighbors, co-op, and church friends.

Finally Fall

I really missed the cool crisp clear days of fall in October with all the rain we had. November has sure started out nice! We've enjoyed bike rides, visiting the park with friends, and just generally enjoying outside play at our house. How lovely!
