Catching up

Nothing in particular has been keeping me from blogging. Just life. But it keeps me very busy. I was informed that I don't update my blog often enough. At least that's what my sister says. So, here's a long post with lots of pics. At least my family will appreciate it. :)

Can't believe I missed this. Cole's 3rd birthday.

Happy Birthday Cole! We love you. You bring us so much joy and a little frustration too. :) I love your three year old words. Lately, I love it when we lay in bed at night and you say "S-tickle my back, all the way up to my neck." Four little monkeys. When Jada wakes up from her nap, she cries and everyone runs up to see her before mom and dad get her out of bed. This particular day all 3 boys jumped in bed with her. I love how they love her.

Playing games. One of Kade's favorite things to do with Dad or anyone who will say "yes". Just some cute shots of my cute kids. :)

Jada doesn't miss a thing. The boys were playing with these binoculars one afternoon. As soon as they put them down, she picked them up and tried looking through them.

And here's a couple shots of what she does when she's whining and wants her mommy.

I want to say, "look at these last three pictures. The boys love Jada so much. They love playing with her. Doesn't it look like fun?" But, notice she's not smiling in any of these pictures. Hmmm.... :)

And finally, I just found out yesterday that two families I know are adopting little girls from Ethiopia! One is a family that went through the process with us. They got a little boy. This time they are getting a 3 yr. old girl. I have to say when I heard this news I was so excited and somewhat jealous. My heart is so there. Two less orphans! Praise God!! Anyone else??? :)
