Caleb's Pow Wow and a couple of turkeys

Aren't these the cutest turkeys? Caleb made the turkey in the frame and Jimmy made the turkey next to it . Jimmy made his at his Friendship Ministry group.

Getting ready for Elijah

I miss little Elijah so much. Some days are harder than others. I really miss him in the evenings because I know that he is just getting up and ready to start his day. I wonder if someone is holding him and making him smile. Are they singing to him and taking him to play in the ball pit? I pray that he is loved and happy and stays healthy until I can bring him home. Caleb smiles every time we say Elijah's name in our prayers. I refer to him as baby Elijah to Caleb because Elijah is so small. I know Caleb will make a great big brother. Jimmy is ready for Elijah to come home too. Everytime we go shopping, he picks out toys and asks if we can buy them for Elijah. Needless to say, Elijah already has an impressive collection of toys waiting for him. His Rockin Puppy came in the mail yesterday, I can just imagine the smile he will have on his face when he rocks on it.:) We should get a court date soon, so it won't be long now until our little Peanut is home!:)

Happy Thanksgiving and being thankful

My computer is being repaired because a certain little someone got it all wet. But thankfully I had bought a warranty to cover accidents such as this, so it is being repaired for free.:) They say it can take up to 4 weeks though....UGH!

Still waiting for a court date and still shopping for our little peanut.:) Today we go and pick up his dresser and then we will decide on a crib! I am so excited to bring him home! Kris, I ordered his Rockin' Puppy yesterday:):).

I pray that everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful weekend! I am thankful for my family and friends and for all of my online friends, especially my Reece's Rainbow friends! I'm also thankful for warranties and insurance since Ben lost his cell phone in the same week as the computer accident! Boys, Gotta LOVE 'Em!!!!!:):)

Spaghetti...and some green stuff

Caleb loves almost everything especially spaghetti! Here he is showing how happy he is with tonight's dinner.:) He loves salads too but that took a little while. I remember one time when I put some salad on his plate and he shook his head and said "No Leaf!" LOL! Now he loves the stuff. He doesn't care for broccoli though. One night after I put some on his plate, I caught him picking it up from his plate and putting it back into the bowl. Too funny! He's my sweet boy!
Still waiting for a travel date for my second trip. There's another little sweet boy I can't wait to hold in my arms again!!!

I've been tagged!

7 random things about me.........

1. I love the smell of horses.

2. My all-time favorite cartoon is Winnie the Pooh.

3. I love chocolate, but not chocolate cake.

4. My favorite color is blue and I hate purple. I think I am the only girl
that does not like purple.

5. All of the dogs I have had and still do, have had people names. (Jacque, Nickolas,
Brandy and Mikey)

6. I love thunderstorms in the summer, the real big ones that shake the house!

7. I write with my right hand but throw and catch a ball and dribble a basketball
with my left.

Jimmy is 22!

This is the cake he chose to share with his class on Friday.:)






Jimmy is 22 years old today. He gets so excited about his birthdays and it makes them that much more fun to celebrate! Caleb says that Jimmy is "Two Two." On Friday, Jimmy's class celebrated his birthday early by going to see Madagascar 2 and then coming back to school to have cake.:) Today we had grandparents come over for cake. Then we went out to eat. Jimmy loves to be sang to in the restaurants so he chose Joe's Crabshack. I can't believe I walked out of the house and had forgot my camera.:( Jimmy looked so cute with the silly hat on they gave him to wear. They introduced him and he waved and grinned from ear to ear.:) I have to say this kid of mine makes my heart smile, especially on days like this. He truly is a gift from God!
Happy Birthday Jimmy, I love you!!!!
