Happy Father's Day..............

Our Father's Day was crazy busy this year.  Here are a few pictures for a Father's Day flashback.

Sweet Dreams........

The Dumpling has been struggling with sleep issues since September.  She often wanted to use my hair to help her fall asleep.  I came up with the idea of using a 'fake' hair piece as a substitute.  Well, little Dumpling accepted the solution and now asks for 'hair' when we put her to bed.  Her night waking issues are not resolved, but she does go down peacefully with her new 'helper'!  Sweet dreams little one.........

Reflections on a little girl's first birthday at home.......

You turned 3 yesterday Dumpling!  You have been home 8 months.  This was your very first birthday celebration with your forever family!  You fill our days with laughter and smiles.  We are so proud of your many accomplishments since you have joined our family.  You have blessed us in so many ways.  Happy Birthday Big Girl!

A visit from sweet friends.....

The Princess was thrilled to have her Godmother come for a visit!  We enjoyed some adult conversation while the kids played.

Summer fun!

High school graduation..........

We attended my nephew's high school graduation this past weekend.  He is headed to Auburn in the Fall!  The kids especially enjoyed 'cousin' time.
