New Trick :)

3/24/13 Baby J took 5 steps to me! :)  Go girl!!!

Recent happenings...

Lily and friends learning about an orphanage in Africa before making rag dolls to send  the children.

Morning reading :)

Sweet girls riding in the wagon we gave Lily for her first birthday.

Feels Like Spring {Hallelujah!}

Foster care is a family affair.  Our three big kids continue to bless me in their love for D and J.

Monkeys :)

I dared Eli to roll down the hill in this tube.  He smartly declined.

I wanted to roll D down the hill in the tube.  I resisted.

Milestone with J Baby

Six months.

She's been here six months.

And like any parent would tell you about their kids, I almost can't remember life without her {and I don't want to}.

{Life before DCS issues and birth parent charades? That I can remember.}

Love these days

Sisters :)

The one of her smiling in the back pack is MUCH cuter!

Checking out a decomposing tree {this is my favorite kind of science}.

KB's treasure

Ice-cream after our hike and before dinner :)
