Encouraging words on a flurry day

Blahhhh - So we get up this morning and it’s flurrying outside! =P

Anyways…  -Our group had an assignment a couple weeks ago, I just now got around to read some notes they had for me… between them I had a few words that were *VERY*  meaningful to me.

 K said:

“I love being your friend! You have a gentle spirit that invites me in…

… it’s just the patient way you present yourself…

A said:

“you are God’s work of art…

… you are one of the most incredible person I have ever met…

 Dr said:

… what a kind woman you are! The youngest of the group but your experiences in life had made you grow fast… your faith is immeasurable”

I’LL keep these encouraging notes around.

Welcome Baby Girl!!!

National Adoption Awareness Month

Now, about the trip...

 I forgot to post about this but back in October the boys & I drove to Madison - IN to visit Gisele & the girls. The time in the road was very smooth, I never drove there before and this time I was my own co-pilot but we made it fine.  The boys had the best time, Haruka is just about 3 mos older then Benji and so is Ain older then Noah. Benji scored a wooden baseball bat from Gisele - (I think he slept with that bat for the first week! lol ) They had a blast and tears when was time to leave… from all of us not just the kids!
 We asked Benji to take a picture of Gi & I and this is what we got:
 
 Benji & Haruka - they had so much fun!
 

Halloween

I don’t really care for this holiday, but this year I had fun!

Past Saturday our neigborhood had the 4th Annual Kids & Pets Halloween Parade, the Lebanon Fire Department lead the kids walking behind the truck from the park in the lake all the way down to the playground down on Lake shore. Getting better every year, this time we had music,snacks for the kids and even a balloon making clown (You were awesome Shelly!)

Today we weren’t gonna go out to trick or treat - we sat in our driveway and handed candy - Benji had a lot of fun, but man when he saw Isabella he just wanted to follow her so we ended up going to the houses in our street only! He *REALLY* losen it up byt the 3rd or 4th house…
My boy got his first crush!!! Awwww

This is the flash light we got to hand to thekids along with Candy: The kids enjoyed the flashlight way more then I expected! =)  Cool!!!
