Christmas Eve at Matt & Kyleigh's.............

Tonight was spent celebrating Christmas Eve with just our children and Meghan. We went to Matt & Kyleigh's and enjoyed delicious food, great fellowship and a whole lot of fun. I am not sure if Zane really understands the concept of Santa Claus is suppose to be coming tonight, but I know for sure he knew what having a party at Kyleigh's house meant. Everytime he opened a gift tonight he wanted to know where Chloe's was. He is always looking out for big sister Chloe. All of the children were happy with their gifts, Kyleigh & Matt, got cash,Kyleigh got a vera teacher's bag, Brent got lots of stuff for his new house, Kaitlyn got a pair converse allstars, mocassins with peace sign on them, Mentalist 1st season, all 8 seasons of gilmore girls, and a rackroom shoes gift card. Meghan got a vera bag, cranium game, jewelry, both her & Brent & Matt & Kyleigh got new coffee makers, Chloe got a make up barbie, monopoly game, pj's, etc. and Zane got "Cars" stuff. It was a wonderful night and now I must go help Santa Claus put together a train table!!!!!!!

Happy 21st Birthday Brent!!!!!!!!!!

December 14th was Brent's 21st birthday.
Seems like yesterday they were sending him home from the hospital in a Christmas Stocking and now my precious son is 21 years old...........

God's Hand At Work..................

Sometimes I am amazed at how God weaves families together perfectly through His miracle called adoption....
We met the Sweeney's a couple of years ago when they signed with our agency waiting for a referral from Vietnam. God had other plans for them though and they brought another beautiful little girl home from Guatemala. He brought April & I together and we were able to support each other during our sometimes difficult journey waiting for our youngest to come home. I will be eternally grateful to Him for bringing us together. After talking to each other on the phone several times a day since then we finally were able to meet each other in person on December 4th. We met them in Helen, GA and our children fell in love with each other just like we knew they would. April's youngest Marissa got quite attached to Kaitlyn and Maribel and Chloe stuck together like glue. Zane enjoyed playing with what he called "His Darlings". It was a great trip and we are already planning our next visit.
God is so Good!

Chloe, Maribel, Zane & Marissa........Best Friends Forever

Hayrides, Santa Claus, & Winter Wonderland Land = FRIENDS

We meet the Young's every year at Christmas Time and take the children to see Santa Claus and enjoy the festivities in Shelby, NC. This year it was extra special because we had Zane & Nathaniel home with us. We had a wonderful time making memories with our children...........
