Penguins, Penguins Everywhere!

This is Kolu. Isn't she a cute penguin? She enjoyed singing in the concert. She's constantly working on pronouncing her words and speaking clearly. This will always be a struggle for her but for now she's doing good. She's also doing great at school (right now). She stopped trying to do well at school but after a great meeting of teachers, principal and Bill & I we've got her back on track. It helps for her to know that she can NOT go back to 2nd grade and she WILL have to do her work. When all those details are clear in your head, it's an easy decision to do your school work :). I love me daughter!

Christmas Again!

O.k. I didn't post any pictures at Christmas so now I'm going to go back so you can see what happened to us in December. See Santa above? Which of my children do you think it is? Brooks? No. Cruz? No. William? No Why it's my sweet little Afton. Afton was Santa for the third grade Christmas program. In the picture are two of her favorite friends, Hailey and Jessie. During the program she got so hot that she ripped her beard off and people were shocked to find out Santa was a "girl". She did a great job. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Snow, Snow, Snow!!!

We had our first snow day today in North Carolina. This is all the snow we got but they cancelled school anyway. (Some of you might think that's funny :) ) The roads do get slippery and icy and they don't have the equipment like they do in Wyoming to clear and De-ice the roads. It's still a hoot to listen to the news telling people they need to stock up on milk and bread. The kids had a great time playing in the snow. I definitely don't miss it but they were begging and begging to play in it. Strange, I know.

Cruz was very proud of himself making this snow angel. I was rather impressed that he knew how to given that we don't have snow but once a year.

They all had fun playing in the snow and having snow ball fights. Back to school tomorrow (I hope :) )

Thanksgiving

We had a great time decorating cookies during Thanksgiving break with Stacy and Humberto and girls :) Aren't they beautiful? Family is a blessing!

New Life

A very good friend had her baby on Thanksgiving. Addison Elizabeth was born healthy and on a perfect day! Her mom, Andrea and dad, Rob are very proud first time parents. I was blessed today to see and hold Addison. Thank you for allowing me the privelege :).

She's perfect!!

Disclaimer: I think I spelled her name right ?!?

I'm Thankful for Adoption

I'm not sure my girls will be thrilled that I posted this picture but here they are in Africa. Bill took this picture while he was there. Aren't they little? I'm so thankful that the spirit of adoption is something that God has for us. I'm glad that he decided to do everything he does just for me (and for you).

I'll post current pictures of them tomorrow.

I Am Thankful for Knights!

This is my knight in shining armor. He's quick with his sword and swift on his feet. He's getting so big. Cruz is doing well in kindergarten. He tells us every morning that he hates school but he gets up and gets dressed. When he gets home in the afternoon, he always has lots of stories about the day. I am thankful for Cruz.
