OH, just so its out there. We are still looking to adopt again. We would like to add atleast one more to our crazy bunch. We do not know when or where. But be prepared.

Majority rules!!!

Love ya bunches.

Yep! For those of you new to the family brigade, if you count heads, that really is 5 heads that you see. Your eyes are not deceiving you in any way. We love every single minute of it too!!!

We get so many comments..."wow, 5, you must be a saint," "why are you not crazy?" "you must be very organized" "why???" (that one is my fave)

there are SSSSOOOOOOOOO many other comments that we have to deal with about the size of our family. Not all of them are bad in any way. But, I think its funny that after hearing so many people comment on the number of kids in our family that E is now already answering strangers' comments with something like, "yep, 5. We're a BIG family with lots of kids. It's alot and yes we're crazy!"

How can I beat that???

His first bottle with his new mommy! Notice that the my forehead is missing in the photo? Know what that means? His new daddy is behind the camera. He never leaves mommy with an entire head. Do you think that may be a bit Freudian? (Off with her head?) JK!!!

Our first day together, our first meeting. We all spent some time together at the park with X's four sibs, new mom and dad, and your foster mom Ms. R. We had a great time finally getting to hold you and kiss you and make you laugh. Your brother O thought that it was his JOB to make you laugh as much as possible. And he did a terrific job of it too!!!

Ah, the joys of snacks at the beach. Just to tide you over until dinner. X's appetite is so large that there is not a point of time in the day that he does not have food in his hand, or the floor, or his hair.....

Oh yes, did I forget to mention the part about the beach....................and the sand???

X would not eat his cracker without all that sand on it. I would take the sandy one away and he'd get mad and scream. I gave him a new cracker and back into the sand it went to get all grubby again. After the fifth or so cracker, I gave up.

I figure a little sand never hurt anybody before..........

All these crazy people do is put me in a car seat or ..........



a stroller!!!!!

At the Park

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I have started and will hopefully have photos on here soon for everyone.

I will try to check the blog atleast weekly. Although, truthfully, it may not happen until after finals in December. I also wanted to say a really big thank you. We are so happy right now and things are going so well. He is a really good boy. We were very excited to meet with you while we were done in Florida. It meant a lot to us.

Talk to you soon!
