A quick update from Grace’s Birthday party…

Well, Miss Grace is 3 years old!!! Where have the 3 years gone? I am planning on writing a better post about this later… but in the meantime, here are a few special picture from Grace’s Dora Birthday party!!!

Please remember this in your prayers....

Most people have heard this story about the group that was killed in Afghanistan while on a humanitarian mission. Well, one of the young ladies was a girl that I went to school with. We were acquaintances and were in Student Senate my last year of high school. She was a year younger than me, but I remember her very well. She was super friendly and kind of quiet.

Please remember her family in your prayers...

Not me, Monday!

Welcome to:

Now, first of all... I am not just writing this "Not Me" Monday post just because I want to win that adorable hat that MckMama is giving to one of her poster's today... for free! Nope... not me!

I also have not been the laziest blogger on the planet... forgetting to write a post about my beautiful baby boy turning 9 months old... or even the fact that we had a momentous occasion with my baby girl turning 3 this week! Nope... I would never forget to do that! NOT ME!

I also would never cut this post short because I was so tired from throwing a big picnic birthday party for said 3 year old, and be so lazy that I haven't even uploaded the pictures yet, or posted a single picture! Nope... not me!

And finally, I did not put in the new Dora DVD, the one about the birthday adventure, for the kids, so that I would have some time to myself while they were watching it, just so I could post this. NOPE... definitely not me!

Ok... your turn... go play along!

M.I.A.

So, I know I have been MIA again... but I promise, I am going to post a few things today. This summer has just flown by!~

Jack turned 9 months old.
Grace is going to be 3 on Saturday(WHERE HAVE THE 3 YEARS GONE????)
I am exhausted(as usual).
Doug has been working his hiney off.
We took a small trip to Gatlinburg, TN(Which was way too short!).
And so much more.

I promise... I will update with a nice meaty post very soon. I am also going to start another blog, that is going to be about me and my issues(so I don't bore you all here) and keep this blog just for my babies and family fun stuff. No more heavy posts here. Promise. But... I do hope you all(or at least some of ya!) come over and follow me at my other blog.

Much love and talk to you soon!

Praying for Bennett

I don't know if you know Adrienne and Jim's blog Our Journey of Love, but if you aren't, you need to check out their story! They are a sweet couple who have dreamed of having a baby of their own. They adopted their son Owen from Russia, then a little girl from Korea(I believe), and then a domestic adoption recently and then... she found out that she was pregnant. They just had their sweet baby Bennett at 26 weeks and 5 days. So... after my brief synopsis.... here is the button so you can go and read more about this amazing family, and pray for their sweet teeny tiny little Bennett Isaac!
