June Winter Blossoms Secret Pal Gifts from Amy and Troy!!!

We owe Amy much THANKS for the great gifts! We really appreciated them. It makes the wait go by faster to have something to look forward to each month! Everything is so great!
I can't wait to see Sophie wearing the cute Fourth of July attire! I know she will have fun playing with the bowls because my niece, Maddie, loved to play with bowls when she was little! I am going to wear my new visor to the waterpark!

Love in Christ,
Tammy

The big SEVEN!!!

Seven months logged-in for Sophie!

My baby boy is growing up so fast!!!

Our sweet Bailee is 12 years old now and growing up faster than I can stand!!! He is so smart and I could not be prouder! He really had a great fifth grade year and racked up at the end of the year Award's Day! He received two academic medals, several certificates, and the infamous Presidential Academic Excellence Award from the President! WOW!!! Bailee, you are awesome and I know you will be a wonderful big brother! I hope you will inspire Sophie to do good in school, too! You are setting a great example and paving the way for excellence! I love you so much!!!

Six Months and Still Waiting

We celebrated our six month LID anniversary at a local Chinese restaurant! We had some family and friends go with us to celebrate. My two best friends both came and bought their babies. They both have sons. I love to spend time with them and watch them! I could stare at them the whole night! Everything they do is fun and makes me look so forward to having Sophie here to share in these type of outings!!! Thanks Bet and Angela for coming. I also can't leave out my parents! You both are so much a part of my everyday life that I can't imagine celebrating anything without you two being involved! Thanks for the support and love you show me daily! I love you both very much!

May Secret Pal Gifts

Our secret pal sent us some great gifts! I have been wanting some new Toddler sets and haven't broken down and bought any yet. Now I have a great one. The formula dispenser is awesome! My friends with babies all brag about how much they use theirs! The Bibsters will be wonderful for family outings especially camping! The food goodies were really a neat addition to the box. My pal really outdid herself with the authentic Chinese goodies. I love the cookies and chocolate! Yum! Bailee was especially happy to not be left out! The cute box and candies were fun for him. He saved the box and has it on his dresser! Our Secret Pal made our May brighter! Thanks again! You are the best!

Love in Christ,
