Four litle Elves

Just thought you would want to see Santa's sweet little helpers!!!

Santa Please!!!

We visited Santa at the North Pole,again, it was great. This year the North Pole was located at the Bass Pro Shop in Gwinnett (hahaha or should I say HOHOHO). They have all sorts of fun activities for the kids like, shooting red rider guns, bows, coloring, a remote control monster truck arena, free pictures with Santa and all sorts of amazingly expensive things your children will want. All in all it was actually fun and Caleb had a great time. Caleb waited very patiently in line to see Santa and the Santa was awesome, surprisingly he new Caleb's name and just was so attentive. Of course like our last visit with Santa Caleb asked for a rubber tire 4 wheeler and a guitar, to which Santa replied "yes Caleb you shall have them" (GREAT!!!) Hope you enjoy the pictures!!! Oh, Sophie enjoyed Santa as well.

Where does the time go??

Sorry to all my fans who look for updates.....we have been so busy with LIFE!!!

Alot has been going on over the last few weeks. The kids continue to grow and change, especially Sophia who has been such joy. Of course we had Thanksgiving all by our selves this year, it was quiet and different, but not bad. I cooked the big meal all by myself and it was alot of fun. While I was cooking Brad and Caleb put he Christmas tree up. Caleb loves Christmas trees, he was so organized about it. He laid out all the ornaments he liked and put them all in one spot on the tree and topped it off with 100 candy canes in the same place. I just watched a laughed as he put so much thought into his tree. We have also been to see Santa, of course I will have to add the picture later. That was fun Caleb proudly informed Santa he wanted a four wheeler with rubber tires and a guitar with strings. Sophia was unfazed by Santa, that is her norm. More exciting news.....we had some changes to our finally court hearing for Sophia's adoption. It is now Dec. 17 at 1:15pm. Brad and I signed the last of the papers and we just have to wait till the 17th where we will talk to the judge over the phone. We are so excited. What an amazing blessing HE has given us. She is just a doll baby and we love her so much. Caleb is already planning our next adoption. He wants a brother that we will call Caleb and he is going to look just like him. Maybe next year!!! ( i will add more pictures later )

My funny funny little man!!!

So tonight my mom kept the kids while Brad and I went out for our anniversary. When we got home Brad went immediately to check on Caleb, who was sleeping. Brad came out of Caleb's room and said "Pam did you let Caleb sleep naked"....my mom and I both were like "what". we went into Calebs room and sure enough he was completely naked, laying side ways in bed with his butt in the air and no blanket over him. Crazy, crazy....man he is so cute I could just eat him up. So...I have pictures BUTT I am going to spare him the embarrassment and not post them...I will save those for when he has a girlfriend.

Playgroup!!

Today we had playgroup at the pumpkin farm. It was great, we were the only people there, and the weather was awesome. We took all the kids on a hay ride and had a picnic lunch by a little creek. The kids had a great time and played so well together. Caleb loves this group of kids, we pray for each of them almost everyday.

This is the only picture he would smile for!!

I'm a Big Boy Now!!

Caleb got up this morning and got himself dressed for the day. Didn't he do a great job!!!

Election Day!!

So I don't have pictures of us voting but I do have a good story. Brad and I have been talking with Caleb about voting and presidents, and how important it is to vote. So today Brad took Caleb to vote and Caleb was very good as he waited in line with Brad. They get to the voting booth and Caleb was devastated to hear that he was not allowed to vote (we failed to mention that part) and even more upset when Brad was not allowed to let Caleb push the buttons on the screen. So after restraining himself from laying on the floor screaming( as many of you know he would do) Brad and Caleb finish voting and go to get a sticker. Caleb waits again, very patiently, gets to the woman who is handing out stickers only to have her look at him and say "I'm sorry little boy you can not have a sticker because you did not vote". Poor Caleb he was so confused, he wanted to vote but they would not let him and after all that he still did not get a sticker for being so good.
