Blessings Times Two

Welcome to our little piece of the world. We are blessed with health, happiness, & families. We have been blessed twice by different birthfamilies. Each birthfamily was at a time in their life when they needed us & we needed them. We each have been able to bless the other. So this blog is primarily for our children's birthparents who blessed us with the most precious gift of being parents. Thank you for allowing us to be blessed with the precious gift of children.

Happy 4th of July weekend


At the pool Saturday.....all Hayden wants to do/likes to do generally is dump all the other kids toys in the pool....or get more toys out of the chest. For most an afternoon at the pool is relaxing & restful....for us it is tense & constant monitoring of Hayden to make sure he stays in the little pool & he doesn't have seizure activity nor get away from us.







When there is two adults at the pool, we can let Hayden do the small slide. He isn't steady enough to do this alone & can become so distracted by things surrounding him that Hayden forgets what he is first doing.








At the park Saturday evening......Shayla being half way cooperative for a picture. She recently got a hair cut....oh, the woes of pre-tween hair, clothes, etc.










Tim & I gave Hayden a hair cut prior to heading to the park......it was long over due! This is one of the rare moments we actually caught Hayden looking at us AND smiling!!









Me with my babes on Saturday July 3rd













This is how the majority of our family pictures look.  A person sitting behind us noticed us struggling to get a picture & offered to take one for us....this was the best of 3.









Today on Sunday July 4th----we went to church, the pool , & grilled out.  It was a great day to celebrate our Nation's Birthday while thanking those who make this day possible.
