UPDATES!!!!

Oh.My.Goodness. {the best one is at the end of this post...} :)

WE GOT MORE PICTURES AND UPDATES ON AINSLEY!!

Notice the KFC cup?? :) hehe.

SOOOO excited.

Isn't she beautiful?!

Here's the scoop:

She has surgery August 24. She was released on September 1 and will be returning to the orphanage soon.

We are on our knees in gratitude. She is doing so well. The Nannies said she is now talking and progressing much better.

We are so thankful for every update. Each is a priceless gift and we can't help but want to weep over this beautiful {little} princess God has blessed us with!

Our sweet girl's birthday is approaching {She will be TWO on September 20!}

So surreal that she is OURS. I just can't wait to hold this precious girl!

We are still waiting on LOA...PRAY IT COMES SUPER QUICK! {like for her birthday!!!}

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

Well, today was the lovely first day of school
The reason for so few pictures is because the beloved camera died.
Happily I report that everyone had a great day and it was uneventful. Thank the Lord.

Quick Laugh : this is Anna Grace's checklist--necklace, hair bow, backpack, lip gloss. Yep, I'm ready for school. {How are we going to survive when she is 13?!}

Looking forward to a very blessed and BUSY school year!

Our only question ::

Is it June yet?

summer-twenty eleven

Well, our summer is unfortunately coming to a close. What a fabulous summer it has been. From beach trips to California to the Lake to every other little place. Oh, and you know that BIG thing...AINSLEY FAITH!
Summer has been amazing. It has given me some of the best experiences of my life. We are again waiting on another little blessing to add to our family.
I wanted to do one last summer post. School starts on Tuesday, oh so sad. I will be in 10th grade, Adam in 7th, Hayne in 3rd, and Anna Grace and Andrew will be in K-4. So very crazy. This will be AG and Andrew's last "baby year" and they will be in K-5 next year. Oh my!
Here is our summer in pictures.

Summer 2011,
You were fabulous, amazing, lovely, wonderful, and just all around great. BUT all good things must come to an end. I hope you don't take it wrong. We can still be friends. It's not you, it's me.
Until next year,
