You know you want one!

We still have TONS of t-shirts and I think you probably need to go ahead and get one. You know you want one. Look how cute your kids can look. Or how sexy your husband can look. C’mon, just do it :)


On a different note, we had our yard sale yesterday and it went great! We raised a couple hundred dollars to put towards our adoption. Praise the Lord!
We had several things left and so did some of our neighbors. We decided to just pile stuff in the garage until the Fall when our neighborhood will have another sale. So, if you are cleaning out between now and then, let me know. I will be happy to come and take your junk stuff to save for garage sale #2.

Summer Lovin’

It has been HOT here lately. Not that I am complaining, I love me some warm weather. We decided that this was the week to break out the water activities. It started with a sprinkler and then moved onto mud sliding (we are in the south). Good times in Tennessee.

Favorite new accessory

I am not much of a jewelry person. Most of the time, I wear my wedding rings and occasionally some little stud earrings, but that is about the extent of it.

HOWEVER, when I saw this necklace on Etsy, I HAD to have it. I figured that when I am pregnant, I have a pregnant belly and pregnant clothes. Now, we are expecting a baby but I won’t be sporting the pregnant belly. So instead, I get to wear this….

Pretty good trade off if you ask me :)

On the adoption front, we are cruising right along. Our homestudy was just approved by our adoption agency! Now, it has to be notarized, and then sent to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services along with our I-600A (the petition filed to adopt internationally). Once the petition and homestudy are approved, I THINK we will get on the wait list. In my perfect world, that would happen by the end of the month…we will see.

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!

Taylor turned 3 today. I cannot believe another year has past. Taylor has grown so much in the past year. She talks much more, interacts with other children on a different level, has “friends” who she love to see, and is such a pleasure to be around.

Today we celebrated Taylor with some close friends and family. Taylor requested a “pink princess party” and that is exactly what she got.

Reece’s Rainbow

I was introduced to Reece’s Rainbow by a friend, Audrey, from our church. Reece’s Rainbow is an organization that supports orphaned children with special needs. Audrey is such a huge advocate for the organization and the children it supports. After reading her blog and the love she has for these kids, it inspired be to become a prayer warrior.

As a prayer warrior, I have committed to pray for a child everyday until she is adopted. There is no cost involved, just a daily time commitment. I LOVE this ministry. It is such a wonderful opportunity to pray for a child who may not have anyone else praying for them.

I wanted to share this with you because I think it is such a wonderful organization. If you are interested in becoming a prayer warrior you can visit
