Summer photos

While I was cleaning the guinea pig cage, Caleb climbed into the laundry basket with Smore.:)

Jimmy on his way to hang out with friends.:)

"Cheese"

Caleb's pajama bottoms hanging from the light. I wonder how those got there.......hmmmmmmm?

Caleb trying to blow out the grill while we were roasting marshmallows:)

Jimmy is asking me "Where is the thunderstorm?" He has been anxiously awaiting a storm, and we haven't much rain at all in the last month. I thought his expression was so cute!

Caleb drawing on the sidewalk and of course, on himself!

Mikey with his new birthday toy.

Caleb asking for ice cream!:)

These are Caleb's flip flops. I thought his feet looked so darn cute in them!:)


Caleb making letters in shaving cream.:)


My camera shy Ben.


"I'm wiped!"

Water break

Caleb......."Hmmmm, maybe I'll take a drink too!"
Ewwww!

Just Look Up!

Remember the pictures I posted around Christmas time of Caleb's socks thrown around the house? Well, now Caleb has got a new article of clothing that he has been throwing around. Lately before he goes to the bathroom, he has been removing his underwear and throwing it up in the air. Sounds funny huh? Not! I've removed them too often from the toilet.....but now he knows that Mom doesn't like to do that so he aims for other things. Tonight he went to the bathroom by himself and when I came in to help him put his underwear back on, I couldn't find them. I asked him where they were and he pointed up!:)

Pics

Notice that sad little plant behind Jimmy and Caleb? When I'm not looking, Caleb likes to throw things at it. This is all that's left.:(






....and Ben was out with friends while we were taking pics.:(

YAY!!!!

I received the I-171h today in the mail! It took only three weeks from the day it was mailed to the USCIS. I have also heard from my adoption agency that my dossier (segment 1) will soon be on it's way to Europe and that they are already looking for a referral. YAY!

Emma's surgery update

* Cornish Adoption Journey *

A Miracle happened today.:)

Praying for Sweet Little Emma

Please pray for Emma. She will be having heart surgery Monday morning. The surgery needed to be done when she was very small, but because she was in an orphanage for the first 5 years of her life, the surgery was not able to be performed. This surgery is her only chance at survival because right now her little heart is giving out quickly. Please pray for her family that they will be comforted and that God will hold them close during this time (click on her picture on the right of my blog and it will direct you to their blog). Please also pray for the doctors, that they will be able to perform this delicate operation without any complications. Please pray that Emma will be healed and live a happy and long life with her loving family.
