Preparing for the new baby...

A picture says a thousand words... Soley teaching Mya how to take care of the new baby when she comes... I love these girls! 

Soley on the way to the hospital to deliver. 

Thanks!

Thanks to all of you who text me and we're praying for sweet Mya today. The decisions that were made today we're not in our favor. We will be preparing our hearts and Mya's for a transition out of our home over the next few weeks or months. There are not really any words to describe what we are feeling or going through. In the end we will continue to love her for the rest of her time with us. Please continue to pray for Mya and that as her new journey begins she will grow up to love the Lord. 

Thursday.

Just got done reading this from a artical. We finally have court for Mya thur at 2:00. We have been twice and it kept getting continued but we will have it this week. Please pray for Mya. 

Parenting is not biology or blood work, just as it’s not process of acquisition or paperwork; parenting is practice, the love you give, and the life you make. 

She stole our hearts 15 months ago! 

Christmas fun!

We put up our tree the other day. The kids enjoyed playing with some extra lights. I always have so many good pics but can't post the babies faces. Oh well these will due. 

Sweet baby girl...

30 weeks, measuring 3.5 pounds :) 

Caught red handed...

Actually sticky chocolate handed but oh well... 

Our sweet elf :)

Oh sparkle...

Quick pics...

I went to Soleys thanksgiving day party at school and this was her and her friend doing one of the activities.  Everyone dressed up as a Indian or pilgrim. Soley wanted to be Pocahontas. 

We went to AAK with Maddie this pat week, super cute shot of the girls playing together. 

At Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house with her best friend and cousin LK.

And of course the thorn in my side for the next 30 some days, sparkle her elf is back. Although the excitement she gets from it is priceless. 

Tubes...

Our first kiddo got tubes today... She did so well and I'm hoping that this will keep her well this winter :)  The actually surgery only takes a few min but the aftermath of coming off the anesthetic is horrible! Lucky after a nap and food, all is better. Love this little girl more then she will ever know. She may not share my DNA or legally be mine but she has all of my heart. 

Court

Thanks to anyone who prayed for us last week! I am asking that everyone prays from Mya again tomorrow at 11:00.  We should have more information on her case from the outcome of these decisons tomorrow.

Everything we need in one little (large) box!

Cheerleading...

Soley has been asking for a while now to do cheerleading. Although I'm hesitant to enter into this world I want her to do whatever she is interested in, as long as it's a positive influence. This was her first practice. Very cute. She was the youngest in the class besides a three year old who did not participate (I think that is too young) most girls were 6. 

In the middle

Court

My dad just sent me this image... How is it so true. I'm asking everyone to pray for Mya on thur at 8:30am. We will be in front of a judge that will be deciding part of her future who has never met her before. I can only hope she feels this way too.

SOLD

Like we did not already have enough going on... But we sold our house. Just found out yesterday and apparently they want to close in.... Drumroll please... Three weeks, yes three weeks. You know cause we have all the time on our hands these days, lol. So while watching three kids, Mya getting tubs and having a ortho appointment and also many up coming court dates and so much more!!!! We will be packing and shipping out somewhere, where you ask??? Yet to be determined. Haha. 

Yes that's a boy!! I just hated cutting it. Although it's still so long. He really does have the best hair! 

New boots! 

Happy Halloween!

Well it sure was a freezing Halloween but Soley had so much fun! The older she gets the more excited she is and I just love it! It was super cold and a little rain so the babies stayed home, actually in bed cause they go to sleep early! Soley decided that she wanted to be Merida from Brave this year and she was so pretty!! We got lots of compliments on her hair :) thanks to Karen my mom in law for picking it up for us! 

Going out with our neighbors to trick or treat, the kids were so excited! 

Soley and her friend Aubrey waiting for someone to open the door! 

Showing off all her goodies once we got home :)

What a amazing Halloween! Can't wait to see what next year brings! We will have a 8.5 month old also joining us. Hard to believe!

Guest in town!

This past week Jon's parents were in town and we went to the pumpkin patch. All of us were a little under the weather but we still made the best of things! As always it's sad to see them go back to Canada!! We will see them again at Christmas! 

What a trooper, Jon's dad serving tea to everyone per Soleys request. She can get that Papa to do anything!!!
