Father's Day Camping

We had a great weekend at Ottawa State Park celebrating Father's Day.  The weather was perfect and the company was even better!  We camped with Grandpa Lew, Grandma Sheryl and the Reeds.  Uncle Andy and Aunt Christina came on Saturday for a visit.  The first night it was hard to settle the kids down for bed, but Saturday we wore them out and everyone slept well.  Here are some pictures from our adventure.

Happy Father's Day!

We love camping Father's Day weekend.  It was extra special this year because 

I got to camp with my hubby and my dad!  

Color Run

Today I ran in the happiest 5K on the planet, the COLOR RUN!  It was a bit chilly, but we kept warm by moving!  It was so fun to do this event with some of my favorite girls.  So far, this is my favorite event I have done.  Check out the website to find out more http://thecolorrun.com/

One of us

We have been so blessed to have such a little bundle of blessing in our house for the past 12 weeks.  She has stolen the hearts of all of us.  She has grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and church family that adore her and love her so much.  I don't know that I have ever come across a sweeter little baby than this.  No matter what the outcome is at the end of this long journey, she will always be one of us. We are blessed to be her foster family.

So many times I get the question, "will you get to keep her?"  The answer to that question is unknown and could be for a long time.  For know she is safe with us and it doesn't look like she will be leaving us anytime soon.  Your prayers and support and appreciated!

Caleb's 4K graduation

When Caleb started preschool this year he was so shy and such a mamma's boy.  Over the school year we watched him as he came out of his shell and gained a lot of confidence.  Although he is one of the youngest in his class, he sure doesn't lag far behind!  Every day he amazes me with his patience as he learns so many new things.  His small and large motor skills are awesome.  He is going to have a blast in Kindergarten!

At his preschool end of the year celebration we got a taste of what his day was like.  The kids performed many nursery rhymes, songs and dances.  It was priceless!

Caleb was one of the king's men in "Humpty Dumpty"

So proud of my sweet middle man!

Spring fun

This spring was the complete opposite from last.  When the weather was nice we got outside and took advantage.  One of our favorite things to do is go to the park.  

Looking forward to visiting so many fun parks this summer with my monkey men!
