Ariel Turns 4 yrs Old!

I can't believe that my baby girl is 4 now. They grow so fast and right before your eyes. I remember the time we brought Ariel and her sister Jessica home for the 1st time. Ariel had just turned 1 and she was so little and very calm. Her face was full of sunshine even with all the sores she had on her face from Eczema. The poor girl was neglected as a baby by the parents and she was delayed in her Development. Now you would never no the difference. It is amazing what a little love and stability will do for a child. She is now a thriving little spirit. Her shy/quite countenance is a blessing for us. She is very mild mannered except when tempted or teased by her Sisters. She is very bright and sometime she amazes me with the deep questions she asks like "why do bird fly in the sky instead of walk?"



I am so proud to be her mother. God has truly sent me an Angel from heaven.

Happy Birthday Ariel!

Del Mar Trip " The Beach " Part 2

I LOVE the beach. I feel so relaxed when I am at the beach. I would have to say that Del Mar has beautiful beaches and is a very family friendly beach town. The girls quickly made friends with other girls and they soon were having tons of fun.

I have to tell you something that Jessica said: The mother of one of the children they were playing with went over to the little group of kids to take some pictures. This lady was pregnant and due any day. She was all baby and looked like she was about to pop anyway Jessica looked up at her and said " What's wrong with your stomach?" Jessie can be blunt sometimes. The lady came over to me and proceeded to tell me what Jessie said. I started to laugh and she looked at me really weird and I immediately was embarrassed and apologized for laughing and explained why I laughed. I told her that the girls are adopted and that they don't usually see or understand what a pregnant women looks like and what is happening. My girls think that we go to the Mall to get a baby brother or sister because the Social Service office for Evan was located in an Old Shopping Mall. I guess I have allot of explaining to do!

Anyway, I wish we could stay longer but we needed to leave and get back home. I do have to say that this is one beach I will go back to someday.

I REALLY WANT A BEACH HOUSE!

A quick trip to Del Mar, CA "LEGOLAND" Part 1

I finally got to go away for the weekend. Del Mar, CA was ever thing I expected it to be and more. We have not done anything fun for awhile and I needed this little getaway. We started at LegoLand on Friday. I would have to say that it was pretty cool to see all the Lego's and the things they can build with them. My little brother use to play with them all the time. I think my girls had fun. In the end they begged me to buy them the "smaller" Lego's not the baby kind. Of course Daddy gave in. I think that Steve was having more fun than the girls. He told me that he never had Lego's as a kid. His parents never took them on trips either. They never stayed at a hotel and if they went anywhere it was only for a day trip. I feel very blessed to know that we have provided fun exciting trips for our kids. I hope they know how lucky they are to go to Lego landLand other places.

The many places I am finding Evan!

Oh no! He is climbing the ladder.
He is on the counter!
And still on the counter.
Leave your socks on Please!
He climbed in the pool with all his close on.

On the counter again!

My son Evan is keeping me busy. I am always wondering where is Evan? He defiantly keeps us on our toes. I can't believe that he is almost 18 months old. Adopting Evan is going to be one of the best days of my life. I have a special bond with him. He makes me laugh, smile & stress all at the same time. He is very different than then girls. He loves to throw things, climb things and tease his sisters by taking there toys and then running away as fast as his little legs will go. It is amazing how fast they learn how to pick on each other. I have a feeling that I am going to have some serious sibling squabbles to solve as they grow-up.

I am so blessed to be a mother and I take being a parent seriously. God has in trusted his children in to my care and I intend to make him very proud of me. I pray for patients and guidance in raising my babies. I am so thankful for a wonderful husband. He has supported our family in anyway he can from day one. He loves his children and it shows when he plays with them. Steve has always been an "Active" father. I know that I can count on him to help with the children. From diaper changes to bath time to stories, songs and bedtime routine he sees to it that everyone gets his undivided attention. I want to say one last thing. Steve, I am so in love with you and thanks for being a wonderful husband and
