Adoption Photo Blog

It’s Sunday night about 11:45PM.
We have raised $12,600.
There are no words to describe how humbled we are that you would share with us. It is nothing we have done - it is ALL God and we thank you for your obedience to His call.
We spent the weekend in West TN celebrating Granddaddy’s 60th Birthday. […]

It’s a cool story how we came to be friends with little Noah and his family! His Mom, Kim, contacted me about a Celebrating Adoption photo session for their family in honor of Noah’s little brother Josh’s adoption from Kazakhstan. But she also casually mentioned that she heard from a friend (remember Gretchen […]

Cousin Hank celebrated his birthday in style today with a Pirate Birthday Party. Shai worked so hard to pull together all these awesome details to make Hank’s day as cool as he is.

Whew. It’s been a whirlwind of a day. You know the kind of day that seems like it could have been about 3 days packed into one? That was today. But in a good way.
This morning we ran errands…I needed to pick up Mary Elizabeth’s gift from the Peanut Gallery Toy […]

I think we’re coming to the end of an era in regards to Norah’s shoes.
I have loved putting her in Pediped Shoes since she was just a few months old. She’s currently wearing the 12-18 month size in the Pediped Originals style, with the soft leather soles. This translates into about a size […]

One of my favorite blogs to read is Grosgrain. Every few days she makes a new hand-sewn clothing item and gives it away. Yep - just gives it away. Today is the Wandering Waif Collection GIVEAWAY !!!!!!! I am so excited because it’s Norah’s size and style I think. Go […]

Styling Norah’s hair is challenging and fun for me. It’s fun to play with different clips and patterns and twists (and one day braids, etc). Currently the mini spider claw clips are working great on top of some little twisty puffs. I got creative this week and split the front two puffs […]

Every now and then a little package shows up with Norah’s name on it, and its usually from a certain Grannie…This sweet sweater dress was the latest and we’re not sure if it’s too big or if she’ll grow into it enough over the next 3-4 months. It’s size 18-24 months. I like […]

Today I turned twenty-nine. I was going to try and blog something deeply introspective, but I don’t have it in me tonight. So, I will re-cap my day for you if you care to read…
I started my day with the most beautiful baby girl in the world. Though I am pleased at […]

Sunday after church I had to take Norah outside because I wanted a picture of her in this adorable Baby Lulu Cherry Blossom romper that I got at the consignment sale on Saturday.

This is how Norah says she is “so big!” It is also the way she says “all done” so I am not […]
