Christmas Preparation

It is hard to believe that a year ago we had no indication as to when the two littles would be joining our family. We moved through holiday activities with heavy hearts. So thankful that this year we are preparing and celebrating with the two littles.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Celebrating with Godfrey and Mula

Torture

These two are such troopers....just incase a 20+ hour flight wasn't enough torture to enter into our family with, today we spent over two hours at the social security office! I am sure everyone loved heading me sign nursery rhymes for entertainment. One step closer!
