Forever grateful...

Since Father's Day, I can not help but think of Naomi's birth father. I will be forever thankful to this man and this family. I thank him for writing such a beautiful, heartfelt letter to be found with Naomi. I know know his heart was breaking that day. I wish he and Naomi's birth family could see her today and know how much we love her.

Happy Father's Day...

To all the Fathers in our lives... We want to wish a very Happy Father's Day!

Glenn! You are the most amazing Daddy! I love you! We are so blessed!

To My Daddy, I would not be the person I am today without you!

To Glenn's "Pop"... We love you!

Mud fun...

Watch out Naomi... here comes Daniel!

Pretty girl...

This is still my old camera... I can not get the new one to download the pictures... I am pretty computer dumb! I will probably have to take a class! :) I will be working on it this weekend! Here is a few pictures of Naomi in a sweet sun-dress! 

 

7 months ago...

We held Naomi for the first time 7 months ago today! Every day with her in our family is sweeter than the last! We love you sweet girl!

Thirty-five...

For my thirty-fifth ( yes that is right...35...) birthday, Glenn & my parents blew me away with a gift that I had been wanting for a long time! I was totally surprised and can't wait to use my new Canon Rebel XSi!!!

It is a great camera! I can't wait to play with it! :)

Then & Now...

Glenn & I sponsor a "Hugging Granny" in Yingtan SWI (the orphanage that Naomi was in). These Grannies are mostly retired healthcare & teaching professionals that come into the orphanage and work with the children. They play with them and give them some one on one attention. Because we are sponsors, we receive updates periodically. To my surprise, the latest update had a picture of Naomi from when she was 1 year old! The photo is even date stamped! I love any detail about Naomi's past! Look at how she has changed! :)

My Heros...

I tried to get these two to stand, side by side, on the couch... Probably not a great mommy idea... but they thought it was fun! I wanted a shot of these cute t-shirts! Daniel's says "My Dad is my hero" and Naomi's says "My Mom is my hero!" So cute!

Mom, Lea... here are is a slideshow. It is a bunch of pictures from our Spring 2008 (and a few from last Spring... look at Daniel's baby face)! I hope you enjoy! I am just playing... trying to figure more & more out on this site! :)
