Hui Kui

I want to introduce you to a sweet little boy who resides at Huiyang, SWI. That is the orphanage that Sierra resided at. He is only three years old and is needing a mommy and daddy or a single mommy. He is so sweet. I have more pictures of him if you are interested. You can also contact Dick at www.bringhopetochildren.org to submit for his file. I would love to adopt him but Mike and I are done. We know he would make someone a wonderful son so please pray and pray so more if you might be his parent(s) or you know someone who might be also. Please pass his information along!! Blessings!

Corey and Anne's Wedding day....

It was a day filled with beauty, tears, and wonder of the years that Corey and Anne began on August 6th...

Our wonderful Family weekend..

What a wonderful family time weekend.........

Mike, Billy, Brandon and Corey at the beginning of Corey's bachelor party on Sunday......Mike had such a wonderful time spending it with all his sons. He kept talking about it when he got home. As you can tell they began with paint balling, then to Mass, then to Texas Road House, and ended at wonderful pub down town Peoria. Some of Corey's groomsmen joined them and later in the evening believe it or not Father Terry joined them at the pub.

Sierra and Savannah began their week at Vacation Bible School. They both came home stating how much fun they had and that they want to go back the next day!!

While the guys were at the Bachelor party us girls had a wonderful girl day out. We began with Mass and then we followed it with going out to lunch at Avanti's and then shopping!! Sierra loves to shop and I think Savannah was loving it too!! We ended out shopping at Build a Bear and both girls got to build and dress a bear together. It was so much fun watching Savannah react to another first in her life!! Both their bears turned out so cute!!

On Saturday evening we had an outing with our adoption group at Dragaonland in Pekin!! It was so much fun!! I was so amazed at both my daughters' independence with the slides!! Savannah had a ball! She did not even want to take a break for one of the wonderful snacks provided!!! I even braved myself with wearing a swim suit. Next year.......I will be wearing the new one I bought last year!!

It's in these weekends that I love when Mike and I are able to share our weekends with our kids!! So thankful for these times!!!
