Oh How I Love You

Matt and Briley gave Barry and I a photo shoot for Christmas, they wanted to have new pics with their new sister.  A few weeks ago we set out to a beautiful pasture with our precious photographer Britney Smith.  Briley sent me a few teaser pictures today.  Oh how I love these people, each one so special, each one so different, each one so uniquely made.  God has blessed my life with a family so amazing, so special, and as I look as these pictures I can't stop smiling.  Oh How I Love You, ALL OF YOU.

Back To School Bash

We celebrated being back in school at the Back to School Bash!  Fun night!









A New School Year Begins

Ready to get busy

First day of first grade was an exciting day.  The girls have the same teacher this year and they are both very excited about being together.  Right now they are sitting next to each other in class, this may not last :).  They love each other so much.  It amazes me, not that they love each other but, that the love came so quickly and it is so real.
It has been 7 months since we brought Kenley home.  It seems like she has been with us always, yet the time together seems so short.  She is such a fit for our family, her siblings are in love with her and she loves having a family.  She has come so far.  Her English is improving.  She understands most things unless it is something she has never heard in English. She did call a carrot at dinner a rabbit, then laughed at herself.  She is growing in strength and understanding.  She has a great personality and she is a little mischievous.  With her English improving, she has begun to talk about her life in China.  We are thankful God brought Kenley to us.  What a true miracle, His will for our family and His power can not be denied.
