Sunshine everyday....no matter what the weather outside.
Unlimited energy and snuggling
Stability and unconditional love
Grace and excitement
Sure the list for all my blessings would really cut into my eating time today, but these are my precious gifts from God. He knows me so well and sent the things I needed the most. Please remember those that are serving our country and can't be with their loved ones. Please take a moment today and truly think about your blessings.
It was really great, again this year, to enjoy simple pleasures through the eyes of the pure hearted. The joy of putting on pretend clothes and getting to let your imagination soar was really neat to watch. I think we could have gotten away with just the wearing of the costumes with Kevin, but Claire knew the story....she IS in kindergarten you know. I wish there were a way to truly capture the COMPLETE amazement that covered their faces when returning from a house. Buckets held high and exlaiming at the top of their voices...."they gave us candy mom, they really did" It was soooo precious....the first 46 times. The weather turned a bit chilly, so we returned home to ogle the goods.
Truly ready to fly
Asking if there is a REAL spiderman....
Cool post processing. Claire with her princess pumpkin
Hannah was a great big sister and let them truly enjoy the nite. She is really such a blessing to us all.
I know, I am as shocked as you are. She let me take her picture

Lovin' the loot
Too sweet
Reading to her babies
Every call has a beginning. A quiet moment when God whispers a promise to a mother’s heart . A holy place where a father bows and faithfully accepts the journey set before him. A miraculous morning that unexpectedly dawns… Casting its first light on a chosen threshold. A gentle knock..a closed door opens, a sacred invitation sent by the Father.. leads to the other side of the world. Where lonely hearts stare out orphanage windows praying for someone to care.. and then one morning, on an ordinary day an orphan’s life changes... God sends them a second chance...Through you..

Favorite Poem
We are a family now, a whole,of which you are a part,and you are just as much our child as any in our heart. We do not love you differently,nor would we give up less of all that life has given us to bring you happiness.There is no limit to our love,no boundary you might cross,no price you may be asked to pay,no need to fear its loss. We are now one, the five of us,windows of one home. As long as we have life and breath,You’ll never be alone.~Nicholas Gordon
