Time for change....

Sorry for not blogging all summer...here are some catch up pictures.

Our family picture at Green Bluff

Mom and Dad, and Molly and Eric visited for the pumpkin festival.

Tractor ride!

Playing in the mud is better than picking pumpkins!

To say Megan has a love for animals is a severe understatement.  She is ecstatic to spend any time with animal and loves to ride horses.

Kitty face!

Hanging out with Daddy while he works, eating carrots out of the garden.

Shooting guns with Joel...he picked up a gun and Megan immediately ran to get her trusty can of tomato paste to shoot with.....hmmmmm odd :-)

 Watching "Cars" with their Moncheechees.  Thanks Mom!

Visit from cousin Micah..oh and Molly too :-)

Now...for the change part of this blog.  Due to many tangles and tears, I decided to cut Megan's hair.  It was sad to say goodbye to her beautiful curls!

First cut...

The bottom is done...

Then I made a BIG mistake and cut way to short on one side....

So we called in the professional...Thanks Liz for coming to the rescue!

Finished product...So short but it will be easier to handle.

Bath time....cleaning up their bath crayons.

Snuggle bear

Thanks Aunt Shirley for the cool kalidiscope picture of Megan kissing the pony!!

Berry Picking

Our first adventure into berry picking! Which means to Megan, pick them out of Grandpa's bucket and eat them :-)


She did her best to pick...well any of them red or green.

We called her our "quality control' as she would take one bite and them return it to your bucket :-)

I don't remember being this cute while picking berries :-)

A little fun in the sun later that day :-)

Waiting.....

I find that waiting to be picked for a baby is the hardest part about adoption. There are so many doubts and worries that creep in during this time.  I work really hard to focus on God's perfect timing and try to enjoy each day as we have it!  So here are a few pictures of our enjoyment of each day as we wait!

Planting our front flower bed

Learning to make sweet tea

Camping trip at bowl and pitcher

Family dinner

Hanging out with cousins

Hiking around

Hanging on the bridge

Experiencing some ash/dirt

How we eat while we are camping...total relaxation :-)

I guess she was hot :-)

CHOSEN

A little over two years ago, Ian and I got the amazing phone call that we had a little girl waiting for us. Pictured above is the first time we got to hold Megan seconds after she was born, she was -and is- such an amazing blessing to us!!

7 months later, Megan officially became a part of our family.  God has given us the desire to continue to care for the orphans and we are embarking on another adoption journey this year.

We will be working through the same domestic agency, as we did with Megan, and are in the waiting period to be picked as a family.  As you may know adoption is fairly expensive and we have been blessed by SO many people who have helped us with our adoption journey's. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

This time around we decided to do something exciting and try selling some adoption t-shirts.

We have designed this t-shirt to symbolize how we feel about the orphans and how God views each one of us, as Chosen children, not unwanted or unloved, but chosen.

The Gray/Burnt Orange t-shirt comes in all sizes of the unisex shirt.

The Black/Blue t-shirts comes in all sizes of a more fitted women's shirt, as shown.

The t-shirt inscription says:

Chosen

I will hear the orphans cry Ex. 22:23

All t-shirts are $25.00 each

Charcoal Gray

Unisex

Size

Small Medium Large X-Large

Black

Women's
