Spring is in the air

Wow .... We are so off schedual since spring is here.... My kids are staying up to almost 9 and we are not out of bed before 7 and I think this is awesome.... LOL So it is 8:30 am and we are not dressed and my day is half gone... Well God is getting me out of my box slowly everyday... What really matters are happy kids and more importantly a happy Daddy,... Now I still have my schedual during the day but I am learning that one or 2 days of not being "on time" will not kill me..... So we are doing great and we go to court on April 1st to see when we will be adopting..

Thanks for all the prayers...

PS Ty wanted a stick horse and so I made him one... lol It is really made with a big stick found in the yard and some scrap fabric.... lol He really likes it... It will have to do. LOL and my Nikki Jean is starting learn how to throw knifes with her daddy and she is getting better she stuck it in the target.... Every well brought up girl out to know how to throw knives....... It will keep thoses sissy boys away some day....lol

My Sweet Girls

I am so thankful for my sweet girls... Hope was sleeping or she would have been in the picture. Emma is always so eager to help and Nikki is the go getter... She pumps everyone up and has so much energy... Faith........ Well wow dose she keep me on my toes... and fingers and ears... She makes Nikki's toddler years look easy... But she is really sweet and has a wonderful spirit about her and if we can direct it in the right direction she will do mighty things for the Lord.

Well the adoption process is moving right along we all had to get physicals and fingerprinted and we have had our home study so April 1st we go for our adoption review and of course they will set another court date for the acctual adoption... I think... LOL who knows.
