Fun in the Snow!

Aiden was snug as a bug in all his winter attire but his little cheeks
were soooo cold! They were bright red! He didn't seem to mind at
all though! In fact, He cried when I said it was time to go inside.

Our creative snowman! Shaelyn thought it was
absolutely ridiculous but I thought it was pretty
cute!




Wow! More snow for us here in NC! We don't know what to think!!
The kids are loving it, especially Aiden. Unfortunately the snow is
not a packing type so making a snowman was out the question,
so we had to come up with something different. We piled up some
snow and set a stuffed snowman on top, supported by a branch
against the back of the snowman. Worked just as good:)
Sometimes you just have to be creative.

Our Beautiful Kids!

Shaelyn 11 yrs

Aiden - almost 3

We finally got Shaelyn's school pictures back today!!

They took the pictures in October and here it is Jan. and

I'm just now getting them. We had Aiden's pictures made

in November thinking we would have both kid's pictures

back in time for Christmas. Well, we had Aiden's but not

Shae's so we just held off on giving them out. Well, now

we can show off both of our kid's pictures:) We just think

we have 2 of the most beautiful kiddos!

Happy Birthday Aiden!

Aiden's cake.

Tonight we celebrated Aiden's 3rd Birthday! We had

a small family party with cake and ice cream. Aiden

loves Curious George so we used that theme for his

cake and decorations. He was sooo excited and was

just squealing with delight. It is so hard to believe

that he is already 3! He is growing so

quickly. We simply can't imagine our lives without

this little guy! He has been such a blessing to us in

so many ways! So tonight I say thanks to the lady

who gave life to my little boy. Without knowing it,

she gave us the one of the most wonderful gift of

our lives! Most of all, I thank God for allowing us to

experience the miracle of adoption. We are incredibly

blessed!

Happy New Year

Our New Year's Dinner Table.

Aiden and Aunt Marea.

Jeff, Marea, Sharree and Kerri

We celebrated New Year with Rob's Sister Marea and her

family from Ohio. It was a rare treat and we were so thankful

to be able to see them again. This was their first time of seeing

Aiden in person and he sure was lovin all the attention:) Rob

made a wonderful dinner of his famous lasagna and we had

blueberry cheesecake for desert! Marea and Jeff were only

able to stay for one night but we still had a terrific "short"

visit. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family!
