Our Bittersweet Day....

Today was the last "First" day of school picture that I get to take of our "Big Girl"! Astrud started her Senior year today!!!! I can remember like it was yesterday walking her into Kindergarten thinking Oh my gosh I can't believe I am doing this????? And today my first thought was, where did the time go?????? She is an incredible young lady and we are so proud of her!!! We just wish we could have stunted her growth a few years back!!! :)))))



And here they are going to pick up Emily...............................



Have a very safe and truly BLESSED year girls! We love you!

Our Gotcha Day Video!!

Another very nervous and anxious mommy was filming this for us so it is a little shaky , but you will get the blessing of it, I just know you will! This is the very minute that our angel was placed in our arms and immediately we knew it was completely all from GOD!!

TODAY I KISSED AN ANGEL

Today I kissed an Angel

I knew if from the start

The first time my angel smiled at me

I gave away my heart

Today I kissed an Angel

This angel child of mine

Though not of my creation

My child by God's design

Today I kissed an Angel

My heart is dancing wild,

A family by a miracle

Blessed by this angel child.
