The Littles!

Just got pictures back of the little guys!  It was a very warm September night and they were tired, so I'm thrilled that our photographer was able to capture a few sweet moments!  Thank you *Kanella*Brown*Photography!

 

A Knoxville Visit!

Sarah and I took the three little boys on a quick overnight trip to Knoxville and the NEDC on the 20th!

Proud 40something embryo adoption mommas!

We got to meet Shannon from Room For More!  We had a precious time with her and her husband who were in Knoxville for their transfer of 3 embryos the day before.  This sleep deprived picture was taken after we had stayed up talking and laughing waaaaaay too late - or early?

 Jonathan and Benjamin got to meet Dr. Keenan

and Carol, the embryologist!  I think they were easier for her to handle when they were tiny than they were on this day!  :)

June Happenings!

Nana and Papa came for a visit . . . . .

Benjamin bounced himself right to sleep

EVERY TIME I check on Ben, he always has one foot sticking out.  Only one.  He reminds me of his big brother Andrew who also used to have one foot sticking out . . . . .

"Mom!  I can't believe you took the grapes away from me!"
(Too many grapes were having an adverse effect on him! lol)

One afternoon as I was in the laundry room, I hear Luke exclaim, "MOM!  There's a cow!"  I quickly run out to find that he had spotted a deer out the kitchen window!  The buck has visited us often and Luke now calls him the deer cow.  He is beautiful - a six point still in velvet.

Luke has some peculiar habits - such as collecting multiple items and lining them up in a row

He also likes to make patterns . . . . .

and has an eye for symmetry!
