Family though love

This blog is to record our journey into becoming a family after adopting our daughters June 30, 2005. Our situation is different than most, they were only placed with us June 15, 2005; so we hadn't gotten used to having kids prior to the adoption being finalized. The girls can use this blog to look back at everything they have done since joining our family.

Sleepover.... with LOTS of 9 & 10 year olds.... I must be CRAZY!!!!!!!


Nikki's birthday was yesterday... wow my little girl is 10...

We let her have a sleepover... her first one (this is only her 2nd birthday with us & due to our schedule we couldn't do one last year). This was also her LAST sleepover.

We got her an MP3 player (and some other stuff). She was so happy. I love to see the girls when they are so excited and happy. It is so nice being able to give them a happy life. It makes everything we went through so worth everything. I LOVE being a mom, especially to my two beautiful girls!

Anyways this is a picture from Nikki when she looked & realized what she was opening (the MP3 player).

Baseball

The girls are doing great in baseball. We will have games and/or practice everyday except Wednesday and Sunday. It keeps us VERY busy but they like it & thats all that matters. Todd is helping to coach Leah's team this year.. he loves it (although he doesn't really admit it).

Nikki hasn't practiced much, she hurt her arm last week. We thought it was broken, but it ended up being joint damage. She will have to go to therapy for two weeks to start. It's NEVER a dull moment with us!!!
