Fall fun!

aww I have to say that since moving from Florida to SC that fall is by far my favorite season, I love the changing colors and its so fun to play in the leaves! well ok I guess as long as you don't have to rake them ;) I took the girls to a big tree in the neighborhood today and snapped some fun pics of them playing! Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow!

Congratulations to my friends the Dempseys!

we are so overjoyed that they were able to adopt their foster son Elijah today. Lilah and I had a wonderful time waiting for their turn as they proceeded finalizing the adoption, Elijah is such a sweet toddler and picked such a great family for him to call his own! What a great Christmas present to have a mom and dad. My heart aches for all of the children that won't have a forever family this holiday season and hope Lord willing one day we may be able to bring another child into our home through adoption!

I <3 Fall

ok just had to post this pic I took the other day, this is my favorite season of the year :)

Busy weekend!

we had fun at the tou swap today! Got rid of some toys we aren't using anymore and found a couple of cute books and a toy for Lilah :) Lukas got accepted into the Michelin Yes program here in Greenville at the new Children's museum so he was there along with other classmates from his school today learning about different cultures. He will be required to do 2 days a month for the rest of the year volunteering there and helping out I think it will be a fun experience for him!
I can't wait for us to check this place out I heard its really fun!
