Eva G is growing up.....

Look who is in Preschool now!!!

Sometimes the hardest thing about being a momma is all of these milestones. Yes, they are important and exciting...but it is also a constant reminder that your little baby is growing up!! And that I am not very excited about. I will admit, she had a great day. And I bawled like a little baby.

Wishing my babies could just stay little forever! But since they can't...I will just cherish each and every moment!

Love you my sweet BIG girl!!!!

On Adoption and more....

I have to tell you, I am loving having my girls and so grateful that they can be together! They really are connected and it is so sweet to see them interact with each other, as if they were never apart. And how they just know who the other is...and not at all confused by the other foster children we have in the home. They are just bonded by blood...and brought together by love!

Little Elise is growing so fast, 16 months old today. She is such a handful! And nothing like her big sister! She is very independent and strong-willed. She has a little attitude that keeps me guessing! She is super sweet and loving, when she wants to be! :) I just love her soooo much!

We just received TPR in this case...and are just waiting for word on when the adoption can be finalized! We are just over the moon happy about this! It has been six months...and even though she is ours in our hearts...we are excited to make it official!

Still no news on baby number 3. But I pray for him each day. And for bio mom! And if it is God's will for him to be here with his sisters, then that is what we will do. I know that there are many opinions on this matter...but all we can do is wait and see.

And in honor of my babies, I am getting the adoption triad tattooed on my wrist next week as my mother's day present! I am super excited!!!! :) I even showed it to Eva G and she now wants her own tattoo! One day....

Feeling more like a momma!!!!!

Eva will be 3 in just a few weeks. Elise is 11 months old this week. And of course, let's not forget about the 5 month old little girl we are fostering! And to think....I am just now starting to "feel" like a mom!!!!

That must be the hot mess part of me.....the infertile part! :) Is there any other part? HA!

Things are starting to get fun! I mean, they were always fun...but now our life is filled with dancing, tea parties, dress-up, painting.....fun, big girl things! It is hard to explain.....but honestly....one of my proudest moments of being a mommy was this......



Eva asked to dress up as Olivia the Pig for trick-or-treat! So....I made this costume for her!!! She was soooo excited! She pranced around the neighborhood totally in character! She had so much fun! And she looked so cute! I know it is strange....but I felt like I did something great! I did something for my little girl! I know...I am such a mess!

I cannot wait until next Friday's tea party with Eva's cousin! Complete with feather boas, gloves, frilly skirts, porcelain tea set and of course mini cupcakes (at Eva's request!)!!!

I am just loving every moment with my girls! Sad that they are growing up so fast...but enjoying watching them become the little ladies that God created them to be!

Since Kelly has been so patient!!! :)

Things are going great over here! We are all adjusting really well. Baby E is an AMAZING baby!!! LOVE her soooo much! And even though she is sooo much like her big sis, she is also very different. So figuring everything out has been a challenge...a welcomed one.

It is weird, but it feels like she has always been here. Eva G is a great big sister...when she is not sitting on her and stealing her toys! LOL! They just love each other so much! I am so glad that they are finally together!



My heart is melting! <3

We are home! The trip was amazing! Love Florida, by the way! Well....the few minutes I saw of it! LOL!

Baby E is AMAZING!!! And the spitting image of her big sister! She acts just like her too! I am soooo in love her!!!

The meeting with the foster parents went well. They are wanting to be WAY involved. So we will just see.

So glad to be home with my two precious baby girls!!!
