Today our little flower is 16 months old and as of tomorrow has been with us 3 months.

Our trip to China to go and get her seems like it was all a dream and that she has always been part of our family. Although, there are many moments when I just stare at her and wonder how she got here...I guess this feeling is somewhat of a paradox.

I am so amazed by this little person that suddenly showed up in my life and I love her more and more each day.

FIVE YEARS : GOTCHA DAY : ANGEL

Five years ago today our life changed forever... Our little Angel became our daughter. It was by far the happiest moment of my life...I became Mommy to the most beautiful little flower in the world.

As I write this post my heart is beating just as fast as it did on the day we first saw your precious face my darling girl. You are our gift from God above and through you we have experienced God's love and Grace.

Angel, you are the best of the best and you bring us joy beyond words...we love you darling and we can only pray that we have served you well up until now and will continue to do so with the help of our Lord.

We are so proud that God chose us to be your parents and we humbly thank Him.

Happy 5th Anniversary my Love

Love you Now and Forever and Always

Mommy and Daddy

Halloween 2009

Halloween this year was really challenging...Trying to get the girls dressed up in time, finishing over 200 bags, decorating cookies, answering the door while Daddy took Angel out and trying to keep baby Georgia from seeing scary faces was all part of the...fun!!!


Angel and Dahlia had a blast as usual... they were so adorable as they gave out candies they yelled out to the street filled with kids "COME AND GET YOUR FREE CANDY"

If a kid in a scary costume came to the door they would scream and slam the door shut and wouldn't give them any candy. If a princess came they would give double the candy...it was so cute to watch!!!

They went up and down on sugar rushes as we let them fill up on as much as they wanted...the theory here is that they will get sick and not want any more... I think it worked?

Baby Georgia kept her costume on for hours which really surprised me...I thought she would fuss with it on yet she seemed to enjoyed it...I think I have another little Diva on my hands.

Needless to say fun was had by all and another Halloween has come and gone.

FOR MY GIRLS

Today Mommy and Daddy celebrated 25 years married...wow, a real milestone !!! Daddy and I met 28 years ago and fell in love instantly. We knew that we would be spending the rest of our life together. We both loved children and knew we wanted a family.

Our journey to parenthood was long and difficult, but our trust was always in the Lord and we kept our faith in Him at all times. Through all our challenges He brought us closer and closer to each other and made us into a strong couple. Our love for one another grew and grew and you my little flowers are a product of our love. We may have not experienced labor in the way most parents do, however we did labor in a different way. Our journey was long and God kept us patient as we longed to be parents.

Waiting on the Lord is a blessing and I pray that you both learn early on in your lives that good things come to those who wait. With God by your side even the impossible becomes possible!!!

I pray that you grow up to be beautiful women on the inside and that the men you choose love the Lord as much as your Daddy does...because a man that loves God will never let you down and will be there for you when it really counts.

I was blessed with a man like this and we are a family today because we trusted in the Lord.

Happy 25Th Anniversary my dear Husband and thank-you for our little flowers Angel and Georgia Anastasia,

We love you and we love the way you love us.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

WHAT WE ARE THANKFUL FOR?

Daddy..."My Girls and my sweet wife"

Mommy..."God's love and protection"

Angel..."Everything"

Baby Georgia..."Food, food and food"


We just wrapped up a wonderful 4 day weekend. It started with Angel doing the "HAPPY DANCE" on Thursday after school. Friday was ear piercing day ...finally Angel did it!!! With the help of her BFF Dahlia holding her hand.

Saturday Daddy came home early and we went apple picking and grape picking. On our drive up north we enjoyed God's Glory in the changing colors of the trees...breathtaking. Georgia saw farm animals for the first time...she was stunned!!! I think she will be a true animal lover. Angel and Daddy climbed up high on ladders and picked the most beautiful Cortland Apples...red and juicy. It was a beautiful family day and Angel announced that it was the best day of her life!!!

Sunday we went out for a late brunch and then a nice visit with grandpa and grandma. I am so thankful that my daughters are lucky enough to know and enjoy their grandparents...a true blessing. We even got to see our favorite nephew Jimmy whom is loved and totally adored by all of us. In the evening we were blessed by a visit from Auntie Peggy and Silly Uncle Peter. Angel enjoyed giving her uncle a make-over he looked really cute with a PINK bandanna in his hair.

And finally today we spent a lazy day at home catching up on homework and enjoying the company of "The Pink Connection"...Wanda, Dahlia and Milana.

So, needless to say we have much to be thankful for...Our Lord... that fills our days with His Presence in Nature, His Beauty in our Children and His Love in our Family and Friends.

WE THANK YOU GOD FOR EACH AND EVERY BLESSING.
