I should be up to date now!






As you can see Morgan is loved by all, actually all of the kids are loved by all. We are so lucky to have the support and love shown to our family by so many. I can't thank our families and friends enough for all they do and all the love they share. We are so fortunate to be blessed in so many ways.

Ahh.. Carter





I can't belive my little 7 lb infant is a big 4 year old! Carter has always been my most laid back child and a little lover. He and that smile can melt anyone! Carter turned 4 on July 16th and boy did he have a good time. We had 3 parties for him- my family, Keith's family and a little party with our immediate family. Carter seems to get the short end of the stick a lot so he was SO excited with everything. He didn't care about gifts. I know that will change, but wanted to have a party at the zoo. He just LOVES it there and always has. We even had to make a snake cake for him- thanks for the help Marcie! I think that Riley enjoyed the festivities as much as Carter- he kept asking if we could have another b-day party for him- no more! Thanks to all who attended and all the fun we had!

Update #1





This summer seems to be flying by so quickly and I have been very bad at updating- sorry. We enjoyed time with cousins during the fourth of July and really had a good time. Morgan and Lincoln (my cousin Andrew's little boy) are 13 days apart and seemed to really hit it off. Morgan tried to give Lincoln a hug and he was not so sure about that. We also got to see Shawna and meet her little girl, Ana. She is a cutie and Morgan really liked Ana's big brother, Gaines. She was all about him in the pool. Speaking of, Morgan is not at all afraid of water. It was cold and she loved it. She is going to be a little fish just like Riley. Carter prefers to lounge- he's too cool for the pool! We are all doing well- just a couple of medical issues (Riley had roseolla!) but other than that the kids are growing way too fast and I rarely have a moment to sit down. That would be why I haven't updated in so long! Please continue to pray for Marcie, Josh and Maeley. They just found out they need to prove Maeley is an orphan which will be very hard considering she was abandoned. Pray hard!

Please Pray


I am asking for a favor from everyone. Please say an extra prayer for my sister,Marcie, and her husband, Josh. As most of you have read time and time again Keith and I have wonderful families. Marcie and Josh are a HUGE part of this. They have been working so hard to bring a baby girl home from Vietnam. Maeley is 5 months old and beautiful! (as you can see!)Today they had some unsettling news that may deter her from coming home. Please pray that Maeley is approved to come home and Marcie and Josh can be the parents that God intended them to be. They are wonderful people and deserve only the best. We should know the outcome in the next 10 days and I will keep you posted. PRAY HARD!!!!!!
