$250 BEST BUY GIVEAWAYPlease visit the Littles' fundraising site for their next adoption and choose to enter this fantastic giveaway by choosing several different options. You can find out all the info HERE. What an opportunity to get involved and be proactive with the adoption community. We all indulge our children and ourselves to excess during the holidays (come on, admit it, you know we do, I DO!! lol) so why don't you donate some of that "excess" that our kids won't even miss anyways to a great cause...one that will bring another child home to their forever family to be loved, tucked in at night, told that they belong, and kissed and hugged more times than they ever dreamed possible! What a blessing you could be to this family!  WHO WILL STAND FOR AMERICA? MORE TRICK OR TREATIN' FUNLast night was the big Trick or Treating night in our neck of the woods. So Leyna and I bundled up Logan and Ciara once again and headed on over to Logan's cousin Gavin's house to terrorize...I mean, party in their neighborhood. While Gramma Gloria, Julie, Les and Cindy all stayed at the house to eat/hand out candy, Jamie and Jay (Gavin's mommy and daddy), Leyna, Logan, Ciara and I all braved the somewhat cold weather and took the three kiddos out for about two hours of fun, fun, fun. And of course there's pictures! Have you ever tried to get a golfer, a bunny and a unicorn to sit still for a pre-trick or treating photo op? Me neither! But sit still they did, for just a few pics, lol! Introducing Gavin the dandy golf pro, Logan the frisky bunny and Ciara the zany unicorn!  THE BUNNY, THE UNICORN AND THE FOOTBALL PLAYERTomorrow, 10-31, will be exactly two months to the day that I held Ciara for the first time (and also was on the receiving end of her version of how ya doin' mom by hitting me on my head, lol). Every time she falls asleep in my arms I just look at her and can't believe she's finally here where she was always meant to be. A very much loved daughter, a little sister, a big sister/aunt, beloved granddaughter, niece, cousin, a little girl adored by her church family, the list goes on and on. The longer I'm involved in this thing called Adoption, the more I am amazed by the whole process. We serve a Mighty God, who is in complete control, who hears our prayers and according to His Will answers them. From the very beginning we never wanted to have the ability or the power to choose the child we were going to adopt and we were going to accept God's choice no matter what. Scarey? You bet it was, but He is always faithful and He chose the perfect child for our family. On a lighter note, lol, we took the kids to the Y for some dress-up fun. It's actually a really good time for them. For an hour and a half the kids got to play all kinds of games, ate some pizza and popcorn, had some apple cider, and to top it all off a parade inside the Y with different stops where the kids could get treats. Logan and cousin Christopher are old pros at this trick or treating stuff with Ciara following very close behind. She caught on pretty quick this time as she already had another night of experience at the Erie Zoo Boo last week (and yes, I forgot my camera or else you would have known about that already!) One bunny and one unicorn, please! BTW...GO STEELERS!!!  Baby bunny and Mama Ah, can I get some candy over here? Can't you see my bag is open? How cute! My nephew Christopher and his mommy Amanda Ciara ditched the horn to eat some pizza I'm thinkin' Ciara is having a good time I dunno, what do you think, Mama? Does this outfit make my hips look too big?  GOD, YOU REIGN!You paint the night You count the stars and You call them by name The skies proclaim, God, You reign Your glory shines You teach the sun when to bring a new day Creation sings, God, You reign God, You reign God, You reign Forever and ever, God, You reign You part the seas You move the mountains with the words that you say My song remains, God, You reign You hold my life You know my heart and You call me by name I live to say, God, You reign Hallelujah Allelu  More Recent Articles |
