Shiloh

Bailee has his first dog! This is his first real pet that he has gotten. He has been great with him. He feeds him, waters him, and best of all plays with him! It is so fun to watch them together! I catch myself looking out the window and just smiling the biggest smile as I see them running and chasing each other. Shiloh follows Bailee's every step and acts as if he is crazy about him.
The other night I witnessed the cutest thing ever... Bailee had gotten his feelings hurt and was sitting on the front porch quite upset and Shiloh was right under his legs just crying and pacing trying to figure out how to make Bailee better. It is so awesome to see Shiloh so in sync with our feelings already. He is a good puppy and so sweet. We are lucky to have him in our family!

Scret Pal Gifts...

In our adoption group called the Tea Monkeys we are exchanging gifts for Oct--Nov--Dec. Oct theme was Family Photos, Nov theme was Fall, and Dec is Holiday Traditions. Just look at the cute stuff we received Oct and Nov. I can hardly wait to see what Dec has in store for us! Thank you pal! You are wonderful! We are BLESSED!

WOW!!! It's been a YEAR!

One year down.... ???? to go!!!!

No matter what we know without any doubts that God has a baby girl already in His plans for us and we are waiting it out while He prepares us and her for the big day! We already love you Sophie and can hardly wait for God to bring us all together!

Kerrie and Ken are the BESTEST!!!

How lucky am I????? Too lucky to even know where to begin! Thank you seems so small in comparison to your generosity! Sophie got the sweetest dinner time table set that even matches her room! How incredible is that! Kerrie got me a, very appropriate I might add, bookmark and pencils for me to use at work. She got Rodney his first father/daughter book for his birthday and for Bailee some candy, school eraser set, and notepads. Sophie also got a cute bib, placemat for the table, cute panda zoobowls, door pillow, and a family magnet for the fridge in her honor! We all received precious notes and especially thought out wrappings of our items.
I want Kerrie to know how much we appreciate all you did and the extreme thought that was evident from your gifts and wrappings! That is what makes this wait somewhat tolerable and our group so unique. We thank you so much and hope to get to know you better in time to come.
