We have been spotted!

As I have been attending families supporting adoption meetings for the last 2 years we have meet some good friends. I have grown in my understanding of the adoption world in more ways then one. I been blessed to see how others have been blessed with adoption and met with & learned from parties on both sides of the experience.

It is amazing the love that the birth mothers bring into the adoption circle. I have been truly blessed as I have heard their stories of sacrifice and love. Recently after meeting some great birth mothers at a group meeting they offered to spotlight our families hope to adopt. Click the previous link to visit the page.

Families Supporting Adoption Skate Night

A while back we had a Fun Family Time at Families Supporting Adoption Skate Night! Let me say the skates did not stay on my feet that long. After a few times around the rink I decided my bones were worth more then the "fun" I was having trying not to break them. I did not fall I am happy to say but Dan was a bigger sport and stayed in the ring longer suffering only one fall :)

Benji Was quickest to take the skates off out of all of us. But he was thrilled because they allowed the kids to have scooter on the rink and with the neighbors scooter be borrowed he had a blast and did not want to leave when 9 pm came around :)

Thanks FSA!

Leprechauns & the Tooth Fairy

Leprechaun coin....Benji made about 10 Leprechaun traps all through our house in hopes of catching the little green guy and making him tell where he hid his gold!

unfortunately the little bugger was not lured into the traps, & he
messed up our house, turned our milk and German oven pancakes green to show his tricky nature...

But he was kind in the end and left a little gold candy and a fun fortune clover to make up for his naughtiness...Benji is a "happy successful" boy!

the adventure did not end with our morning. Benji went to Gymnastics and then to school where I was able to help the little kindergartners find clues "Lucky the Leprechaun" left all through their school and led them to a pot of his gold!

Benji is the little green guy on the left.

He was even lucky enough to find one of the treasures and clues hidden in the library...The blarney stones for each kid!

Games played after the pot o gold was discovered.

When Benji was asked what he would do with the money if he found the pot O gold...He said he would buy infinity toys...

I have always loved St. Patricks Day. I am so glad we get to celebrate it with Benji every year. These are the great moments as parents!


The Next Day Benji Got his FIRST visit from the TOOTH FAIRY! He pulled it out all by himself!

Before he lost his tooth sometime last week We talked about the tooth fairy and that they sometimes leave money under your pillow in exchange for your lost tooth. Benji enthralled in the idea said, If she leaves $ 10.00 I would give (counting on his hands) $8 to you to adopt a baby, and then I would use $2 to buy me a toy! (he is so stinking sweet!)

We are so proud of him ... :( our little boy is growing up. Sigh :(

Just monkey’n around

Happy 106 Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Just another fun couple of Babysitting Days!

Chloe wasn't so sure about the glasses!

I love kids...They always make me smile!

We had so much fun with cousin Ryelle, aka dragon, friend Anna aka crocodile, and Benji monkey'n around the other day!

I watch James one day a week while Benji is at school so it was great fun to have Anson come and play this day... Anson the dragon wanted to slay the monkey.
