Since I last posted our family has grown to 8 children! We have competed our family by adding an amazing daughter named Gabby. Gabby is Julie's biological sister and we have had the pleasure of knowing her and spending time with her since Julie was placed with us. Gabby needed a new home and it was a natural fit to have her join our ever growing family! She is family and we couldn't imagine her going anywhere else. Gabby is 15 and a freshman. She is an amzing student and athlete. She was on cheer at her high school this year and is in the process of trying our for varsity cheer at the high school she will be joining her sisters at next year. Gabby has been with us for a month now but it feels like she has always been part of our family. It is always so humbling to watch God's plan unfold for our family and the children He has brought into it.
I had an amazing Mother's Day yesterday. I got to sleep in until noon which was the best present of all! The kids got me 3 diffrent types of flowers, a beautiful butterfly necklace, the thook pictures of all 8 of them together for me, and a poster board that they all decorated together. We all went bowling together then over to Putters for pizza and games. Aiden decided it was good timing to get the flu and barfed at Putters and in the car. Mother's Day wouldn't be authentic without a little barf! We finished off the night with a game of lazer tag between me and my teens. It was a blast!!! :) I am so blessed to be a Mother and have the world's best kids!
We have had many fun adventures the last few months, a trip to the tulip festival, a day trip to the coast, tball games, James joined Drew's tball team, Aiden moved into a big boy bed, and Easter. We also had to put our much loved dog Annie down and she is deeply missed. Here are so pictures from our adventures:
