*ALL LINKS WERE CREATED LAST YEAR THROUGH TARGET* (If one doesn’t work, I apologize.) Hi friends! 🙂 Today I’m sharing and talking about our “Winter Cozy Beds” and the little things I do to make the kid’s feel extra special! The word “cozy” will be coming up a lot, it reminds me of my childhood and the special blankets my Grammy made for all us and still makes for the grand kids today. Also the word “cozy” reminds me of…
It has been 6 MONTHS since Naomi has been with us!!?! Jer and I both mentioned yesterday how time went by so fast, but at the same time it feels like much longer, probably because we started this process almost a year ago. When she first came to us she was very scared of farm animals, thought cows ate dog food and was scared to hear the baby calves moo. If you can tell by the picture above, that is…
The title of this blog post pretty much sums it up…California & Maddie equaled, no bueno!!! I’m just going to get right into it and share while it is still pretty fresh in my mind… Leading up to the trip she had been all smiles and excited to ride on an airplane!!! We had a direct flight from SGF—–> to LAX, so there wouldn’t be lay overs and we could just get right to California. Mind you, I went through…
Madison Alexandra is 6 years old today!!! This doesn’t seem possible? But in the same respect, it also seems like it has taken us along time to get to this point where she is happy, healthy and thriving! For many of you who may not know Maddie entered this world in complete surprise along with her twin brother Brody at only 24 weeks gestation via emergency c-section. To say that Jarret and I had no idea what life had in store…
Sunday we celebrated Madison’s 6th birthday by having a special lunch with just the close family…well that’s the only family that’s out here, lol! You know summer birthdays are hard to wrangle kids from her class, but we had a good time and it wasn’t overwhelming for her. We celebrated by having a special lunch and I asked Madison what she would like and her request was chicken enchiladas! So chicken enchiladas is was, I also made a pot of…
Yesterday marked 3 months that little Naomi has been with us!!! It’s weird to explain but you think, wow it’s already 3 months…that went by so fast and in the same respect, Naomi seems like she’s been with us for longer. 🙂 I can’t tell you how much she is fitting right in and loves everything about small town Missouri farm life. Overall her adjustment has gone pretty well considering her life has been turned upside down so many times…
It was Naomi’s 1 month anniversary on April 8th, can you believe it!?! The time has flown by and we are almost half way to month 2, whaaat!?! I know I am a little late to post about her anniversary and on Fridays I usually share my favorites but this trumped any favorites of mine. To say that it has been all unicorns and rainbows would not be true, ask any adoptive parent and they will tell you as soon…
