Where Have I Been???

I'm assuming some of you have been wondering why I haven't been blogging as much the last couple of weeks.

And no, I haven't been looking out the window waiting for something to blog. :)

The week of June 22 we were relaxing at the beach on Lake Huron in Michigan. Pictures to follow.

The week of June 29, I was buried in Adoption paperwork and doctors visits for the adoption paperwork. I am almost done filling most of it out! Yay!

This week, July 6, was the birthday week. Ty turned 9 and Lexi turned 7 just 2 days apart, so my family came into town. We had a weeklong celebration of mini-golf, laser quest, fishing, eating, parties, guitar hero, slip 'n slide, going to the park, playing in the backyard, etc. It was busy, but fun. I will have some pictures soon to follow.

Sunday Selection

I thought this was a great idea for a new meme, so I'll be posting 2 posts on Sundays now. One for Sunday Selection and one for Worship and Praise Sunday...
***********************************************************************************
This post will be for Sunday Selection. You can find out more info about it on Kari's blog.



You are supposed to share a favorite quote or Scripture. Today I'm going to do both. :)

One of my favorite quotes is "GOD has not only read your story, HE WROTE IT." --Max Lucado

One of my favorite Scriptures is Psalm 84:11 "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly."

Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Happy 4th of July!

Here is my photo:

This photo is from November 2003. Lexi is 1 1/2 years old here with her binky and sippy cup by the Christmas tree. I think this was the day we were trying to get a Christmas photo of the kids and the dog together.

It's fun to see what random picture you come up with! :)

Introducing.....Rhino Hammy Speedy

Here are some pictures of the newest member of our family......named by the kids. The name Rhino came from the hamster in the movie Bolt and the kids felt like Rhino needed a middle name or two also. :)

We all love him already and can't wait to hold him and let him play in his red ball after he gets used to his new home.

More pictures will be coming of course. :)
