Pictures

Here are a couple of pictures of the girls. I will have to get some good ones posted. When I find the time to do it. We have been dealing with the flu this last week. Zack started with it and continued most of a week and then I got it and Brad got it. Luckily the two girls haven't gotten it. I am knocking on wood that they stay healthy. Maggie is 3 months now and still in newborn clothes. Some day she will get out of them. Abby is walking and a menace to society. Zack calls her Dennis. Zack is busy with school and looking forward to warmer weather.

Crazy two months

So the last 2 months have been so crazy. Between getting Maggie and the holidays we have been a little all over the place. I think we are finally getting into a routine. Maggie is doing well. She will go to the Dr. next week for her two month check up. Abby gets to go to for her 1yr check up as well. Zack is back in school and we just celebrated his 51/2 year birthday. I am celebrating half birthdays because Abby's birthday is so close to Christmas. On Abby's birthday we kept it low key and she got a present and then on June 30th we will do a big celebration. So on Zack's half birthday we went to McDonalds and he got one present and on his real birthday we will do the big celebration. It makes it easier on our budget around the holidays. Especially because we have two birthdays right around the holidays. I have taken some cute pictures of the girls. I will have to get them posted.

Maggie

Here are some pictures of Maggie. She is doing well. She finally has decided that eating is a good thing. She is now five pounds and we are adjusting pretty well. I think it has dawned on Abby that this thing is not going away. She tries to sit on her and all that fun stuff.

Unpredictable

When I have more time will write out the long version of the story. Right now I will give the fastest version. 3 weeks ago our adoption agency called and said that our birth mom was pregnant and wanted us to take the next one. Miracles happened and she was born on Nov. 18th and was premature. Her name is Maggie and she is in the NICU and will be there for a little bit. Like I said I will put the long version in later.

Halloween

Here is Zack and Abby in their costumes. She was so cute in her tiger costume and Zack was so excited for the trick or treating. He had such a good time with his cousins.
We really had a good time at Halloween with all the cousins. It was a little wet but that didn't stop us. We had lions, and tigers, but no bears. We should have thought through that one. Woody and Jesse came along with Iron man, Spider man, a Jedi knight, and butterflies, and cats. It was a lot of fun.

Abby's sister

Just a quick note. Our birthmom is pregnant again and wants us to take the baby. It is another little girl and she is due on December 15th. She and Abby would be 11 and a half months apart if they get to the due date. We are so blessed to have wonderful family. My mom has offered to loan us the agency fee and we are trying to come up with about 6,000 more for the medical and legal fees. Please keep us in your prayers. We feel like the Lord has put this right in our laps and we need to take the opportunity. And if any of you out there know any people that would donate to our cause please let them and us know. I know that the Lord will make this all work I just don't know how yet. I guess that is the biggest part about faith. We just have to keep working having faith that it will all work out.

Nothing is Safe!

Well last week because I said Abby couldn't crawl yet she must have heard my thoughts because the very next day she took off. I guess next time I don't want my child to do something I will keep my thoughts to myself. The boys think it's funny to put treats around the house on the floor and watch her crawl to each one. Well now she thinks everything on the floor is edible. Who knows what she has eaten this past week. Everything is fair game to her now.

Side note: I have my christmas shopping done for the kids. I found great deals at Shopko and got it done. Now all I have to worry about getting our families and Brad done. Yipeee!
