Pretty Princesses

There is nothing better than watching your little girls dress up and be princesses. It's evident that even at such a young age they are asking the question... do you find me beautiful? And my answer every time is YES!!!!! I pray they always know their beauty, not just with the dress they are spinning around wearing but the beauty the Lord has instilled in every heart.

Emily's Gotcha Day

Today is our 5 year gotcha day for Emily. Can't believe it was 5 years ago we were standing in front of a judge in Russia and they named us Emily's forever family. This young lady has been an incredible gift to our family. I tell her all the time... you make me smile. And it couldn't be more true. She lives every moment to the fullest and finds the excitement in little things. Especially stuffed animals.
We all went out for breakfast to celebrate with doughnuts of course!
Enjoy celebrating the little things in life! It's a wonderful journey.





Where is Waldo... I mean Emily?

Emily's Graduation

Today was bittersweet for our Emily. It was a day where she felt the joy of her first graduation with the pain of leaving dear friends behind. Today she graduated from preschool at Willow Creek. It was a precious little ceremony.
She has had an amazing 3 years at Willow Creek. She has enjoyed the fun, crafty things that I'm not good at and had wonderful friendships. Now she will being kindergarten. We are so proud of the young lady she is becoming. Congrats Emily!
