{{jada is in this phase right now...i think it's cute}}

...and a few freaky, but oh so real, faces
{{do u think brooke could look a little more crazied?? that's her new smile. what in the world??}}

...followed by a trip to BABW, where the clothes fit sofie!
{{have i mentioned how much i love brit, b's bmom?? she absolutely rocks the planet!}}

that's a fun fam night with our clan...we don't eat out much...so that's a huge treat! and we NEVER go to the mall, so the kids were in heaven.
and the adults, we just have fun walking around with the kids...and fighting the crowds and finding parking and having strangers try and touch my baby...grrr!
it's fun, in spite of all the booooo stuff!!

merry christmas eve...tuck in early because you know santa is coming to town! {{brooke said to me, what? i thought he was coming to my house...not to town. darn it!}}

join in the fun...wordful wednesday is awesome!

Giggles from me... Love all the pictures. Looks like you guys had a great time despite the baby touching, parking space finding, crowd fighting trip to the mall.

Brooke's new smile is priceless!! She'll love that when she gets older!

D!
Sorry that you hate me for being in the warm. But, I will come back to Indiana and be frozen!! i'm not excited...going from 85 degree weather to 22 degree weather is not my favorite thing to do. burr!!

And, what are you talking about giraffes?! They are so cool...And, I get to feed them in a few days :) But, a sea cucumber...those are really interesting. We got to hold one at the beach the other day. It is just a blob with two ends...We think that God was at the end of making animals and was out of eyes and ears and noses, but had 2 ends left. haha I got pics..don't worry :)

Merry Christmas!!

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc...

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd......

A lesson in NOT BEING STUPID

What NOT to say to an adoptive family... Any of you all that know us know that we are an adoptive family...and for those that don't just look at our pic.  It will be obvious.  We are different sizes and shapes and colors.  That's why we call ourselves the "motley crew".  I know, pretty funny. Here's the deal...a few things that I don't need strangers to say to me, or tell me: 1.   I know that I'm white and my #3 daughter is brown.  I live with her.  Your revelation is not mine.   2.   Yes...some of my kids don't look like me.   3.   My kids have ears and are old enough to understand the stupid things you say.  So don't say "where's she from?"  I might have to kill you if you do.  Consider yourself warned. 4.   Just because an AA kid is adopted, doesn't mean they are from Africa.  Look around...here in the US we have AA people too. 5.   Don't ask me which of my kids are my REAL ones.  Clue...we are all real and so are you.....
