Thankful Thursday
This Thursday I am thankful for:
~I am back online and back to blogging after our move from 1 state to the next!
~For our precious Georgia family that we moved away from. We soooo loved living so close to them and seeing them at least monthly! We will continue to Skype but you can't hold a precious baby with Skype! Love you Georgia gang!
~That we are making progress settling into our new house. We have had our household goods for a week and a half and all of the kids rooms are done! Plus the kitchen, of course! I am tired of seeing boxes but it is a lot of work with 2 little ones running around. They are tired of playing with boxes and sometimes just need mommy to sit and hold them awhile. We finally got a comfy chair cleared out in the living room so I can sit and hold them!
~Speaking of the little ones, I am thankful that they are sleeping in their own room! Yep, you read that right. They have slept in their room since we got here! Right now, we find Caleb in Claire's bed all snuggled up together. It is so sweet! I am just so thrilled that they are sleeping in their own room!
~The big kids have found friends in the neighborhood already! The boys play nightly with the neighbor boys. They play flashlight tag or have a nerf gun battle! Brianna has a high school girl that she goes and plays volleyball with at the YMCA. Our neighbors across the street came over last night and invited Claire and Caleb to come play in their backyard with their girls. I just love small town America!
~That Gary and I celebrated our 19th anniversary (see previous post!). I am thankful that Brianna babysat so we could go out and get away from the boxes for awhile!
~I am thankful for the adoption agency reunion that we are going to this weekend. We finally live close enough to go to the reunion for the agency we used when we adopted Claire!
~Finally, I am thankful for the pedicures that Brianna and I went and got tonight! After all of the unpacking we have done, it felt heavenly! What a way to be pampered!
What are you thankful for?

Noah - isn't he just the cutest?

The room came painted green with the rainbow!

19 Years Ago...
I married my best friend! I never imagined that when I met Gary that we would move multiple times across the country (we are a week into our newest location!), would give birth to 3 amazing kids, and would adopt 2 more amazing kids! But God knew, and I'm glad that God brought us together. The journey has been sweet so far and I can't wait to see where and how God leads us next! Happy Anniversary, Honey. Love Ya!

We've moved again
Wow, where do I begin? So much has been going on at our house. We have been busy moving. Yep, we moved again for the 2nd time in 11 months. We are currently in temporary housing waiting for our household goods to arrive. The truck with the goods is set to arrive tomorrow morning. Then the fun of unpacking boxes begins! It's like Christmas to the max! Except the things aren't new and it is in the 90s with humidity to match!
The little ones are doing well with the move so far. This is Claire's 2nd move so she is a pro now and Caleb is a pretty go with the flow kind of guy so he is doing well too! The boys started basketball camp this morning so we are jumping right in and getting involved in things. In case you didn't know, moving is exhausting! Gary and I decided we are getting too old to keep doing this!
There are so many things that I need to blog about to catch you up like going to court for Caleb's adoption, spending a great weekend in Georgia, bowling with friends....I think you get the idea. I promise to share after we get settled and at least a little unpacked.
This video of Claire will have to hold you over until I can post more adorable pictures! She is our little monkey and is so strong!
