Cutie Pie!

I am so excited that my sister in law started a blog for our cuite pie niece in North Carolina! She is just so precious and this is a way we can see that beautiful face all the time since we dont get to see them in person near enough! Check out their blog http://www.mylittlepumkin.blogspot.com/

Mothers Day!

Me and my kiddos on my second Mothers Day. For Mothers Day this year, Shaun paid for us to have family pictures made in Gulf Shores and they turned out awesome! I will post them as soon as I recieve them.

Piers and Tate

Piers has a cousin that is 5mths younger than he that he just LOVES! Piers is so much bigger and rougher than Tate, but whenever he see's him, he just cant wait to grab hold of him.

Hey you......come here

GOTCHA!

Now STAY!

Pool fun!!

We have been back from vacation for over a week now, but before I post beach pics, I have a few that were trapped in my camera. These are of Poppy and Piers playing in their pool.

Hey buddy, no napping in the pool!

GOING ON VACATION!!!!

That's right folks, we leave late this afternoon to go to one of our favorite vacation spots, Gulf Shores, Alabama! This will be our first trip to the beach with TWO children, but we are very excited and cant wait to get there. Doesn't Poppy look so cute in one of her many swimsuits! We will be back Monday night and I am sure there will be lots of pics to post!

Happy Mothers Day!!!!

Today, has many meanings to me as a Mother. It is a day to tell my Mother how much I love and appreciate her, a day to reflect on all the special time I spent with my maternal grandmother, that went home to be with her Lord and Savior last June, but also a time to think about the woman that gave me the most special gift that I had always longed for, my Poppy. Only now having gone through the whole pregnancy and birth of a child do I realize what agony Poppy's biological Mother must have went through when she made that decision to leave her baby girl at the gates of that orphanage on that hot summer night in August 2005. She loves her more than herself to have given this child a chance to live a better life. So today, I think of her especially and I pray that she has peace in her heart, because that beautiful baby girl is loved more than she could ever imagine. Thank You for my Poppy.

Today I also thank God from the bottom of heart for the gift of my Piers. I never knew I could love another child as much as my Poppy, but God gives you the ability to do just that. Thank you God for allowing me to be a Mother both ways! What a awesome gift. I am so blessed!

A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
-- Agatha Christie (1890-1976), English novelist and playwright.

He is almost as photogentic as the kiddos.
