Special Moments

On this Mother's Day, I feel honored and privileged that God chose me to be the mother of three wonderful sons and a special daughter.  I want to thank my own mother, as well as all the wonderful friends that are mothers in my life who are such a great example to me and give me such encouragement.

From Christmas to Mother's Day life has been busy with the kids, planning Mark's retirement from the military, and our move to Colorado Springs this summer.  We are looking forward to what is ahead, but going to miss our dear friends here in Florida.

On to looking back over the past six months and the big events we have celebrated such as Kaylee's Gotcha Day, Kaylee's 2nd Birthday, and Kaylee's baby dedication at church.  She has stolen our hearts and those of her brothers. Hayden, Colton and Brandon each share their own special relationship with her and are very protective of her.  She comes to Colton for comfort and food... no surprise with that one.  She comes to Hayden for outside play and is constantly going upstairs to his room to investigate and bug him while he is doing homework.  Brandon is her playmate on the trampoline and the one she loves to climb all over.

We have also included a video of the past 15 months since Kaylee joined our family.  Some of the pictures include Kaylee's sweet friend Hadi, adopted from Ethiopia and who we celebrated their 1st and 2nd birthdays with.  Other pictures are of Kaylee with her wonderful cousins and a few are with Alex, her newly adopted cousin from Russia.  We hope you enjoy watching our journey with Kaylee so far.
