Deuteronomy 6:5-9

"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Picture overload...

I dream of updating the blog more frequently, but I just don't think that's a reality. Thank you to those of you who have asked about, prayed for, and loved on our family. We are still transitioning and I expect we will be for at least the next 6 months to a year. ;) The girls are doing great. For those who understand adoption, the honeymoon is over. This is a bittersweet time. I am thankful we are all feeling comfortable with each other. I am discovering who these girls really are, as they are making the same discoveries about me. (The good, the bad, the beautiful, the silly...) It is a time of testing but also a beautiful time of trusting.

We are clinging to the Lord and asking Him to be the "builder" of this family.

Aaliyah's new style. I'm getting better. 

 Our church small group served Parkwood Fire Dept. on Sept. 11. It was a neat opportunity to teach the kids about serving others. They really enjoyed making cards and drawing pictures for them.



 
 

  



On Sept. 14th we went to my hubby's hometown, Angier. We enjoyed their annual Crepe Myrtle festival. The kids loved the bounce toys, the rock wall, water balloon fights... We also enjoyed spending that time with Martie's family. 












Water balloon fight!


I'm thinking this is a new and fun way to get "revenge" on the siblings. ;)


I keep waiting for life to slow down. I just don't think it is for a long while. All the kids are in some kind of extra curricular activity right now. We also have weekly appts. for the girls, we are hosting our small group bible study, CC on Monday, Taylor goes to Garner on Tuesdays for her CC group...
