Day 232: I had dinner with some of my very favorite people! I just love these ladies!
Day 233: Off to dance…when did she get so big?
Day 234: I say it every year…the day my September issue of Southern Living arrives is my second favorite day of the year (Christmas Eve being my favorite day). Look at that cover?!?! Don’t you feel warm and cozy inside just looking at it???
Day 235: The day we announced to the world that we’re adopting a baby girl!
Day 236: Happy Saturday to you!!
Day 237: We headed off to promotion Sunday at church (this means that both kids moved up “a grade” in their Sunday school classes). I love my big kids!
Day 238: Exactly one year from this day, Kensington will start kindergarten. We are going to make the most out of the next 12 months! I asked them what they wanted to do on this day to make it special and they said…listen to Christmas music. So we did :). I just love my days with these two!

Hi Shay! I am a momma to 6 kids and 2 of them are adopted. Both AMAZING stories of God's grace and love….both girls, both from China. The last child I adopted was last year, a 12 year old. It made her the oldest in our family, the youngest little girl being 2! She is now 13, and is the most precious child you can imagine. Not to say there have not been struggles, but never a day goes by that I am not so thankful for her! I am so excited for all of you and I can't wait to watch it all unfold!!

Love the pics of the sweet kiddos. I'm so excited that autumn is in the air…even though not even a single tomato in my garden has turned red yet. 🙂
