A lot has been happening...

We have had a busy few months.  This post has a lot of pictures from the past couple of months, so be warned.  :)  Thank you for keeping up with our family and letting us share our story with you!

We have celebrated Jon's birthday (he is now 32 and has caught up with me), Ava's 7th birthday, Emet's 5th birthday, started baseball, finished dance and had a recital, had an adoption yard sale and have had some really great visitors over the past couple of months.  My sweet friend also gave birth to her 3rd son. We also sent in our adoption application and were accepted with Lifeline Children's Services.  Big news...big celebrations...so thankful! 
Happy Birthday Daddy!
Officially in our adoption process...SO BLESSED!
She may hate me later for the hospital pic...but my sweet friend Mary gave birth to Ty on April 30th.  He is precious and she is an amazing, strong woman.  I am blessed to call her my friend.  (And a little jealous that she looked so good the morning after having a baby...okay, a lot jealous!)

Thankful to have had Nana and Papa come up for a visit

Me and my birthday boy
Yard sale...simply overwhelmed and blessed by the outpouring of love and support from our community and friends. Our friends gave donations and helped us work the sale on a rainy Saturday.  People came, shopped and were very generous.  We made over $2000 for our adoption...just from a yard sale.  SO BLESSED!!!
So much stuff!!!
Couldn't have asked for anything more...Leigh Ann and Nat flew up (were here less than 48 hours) just to help with our yard sale.  Thankful for these beautiful ladies and their servant hearts. 





Had a great week with these two visiting...love Brittney and Ben so much.  It was a joy to have them in our home!
Phunk Phenomenon Reciatal
Granna came up to see the recital.  It was great having her here for a visit!
They are so grown up...can't believe it!
Is this my daughter?
He loves him some baseball!
And so does he!
