Maia's 3rd Birthday!

Maia is 3!!!

Ok, a bit late on getting these pictures out, but Miss Maia turned 3 years old on the 10th. WOW! I can't believe she is 3 already! She had a great day. Her aunt, Katie, and cousins, Ally and Brooklyn, came to spend the day on Tuesday with us. We had a fun lunch at the park and lots of playground time. Wednesday was a very busy day, so we just had cupcakes at the Baugher's that evening for her actual birthday. Saturday we FINALLY had her party (poor girl...and Noah who just has NO patience waiting for the party!)
She is growing up so fast. She is such a special little girl, who for all the drama ;-) is such a sweet, sensitive and smart girl. We are so blessed to have her in our lives! Happy (late) Birthday our beautiful Asian princess--we all love you so very much!!!

Emma's Birthday!

Wow, I can't believe my sweet girl is 1!!! She is only 6 weeks old to me ;-) We had a fun day Saturday at her brothers' ball games, which she loves because she is outside! It was an emotional day for me, but how fun it is to celebrate. Sunday was her birthday party, and it was so much fun. The poor girl didn't know what to think of everyone singing to her, but she loved the frosting on her cake.
We also took some pictures of Emma and Maia in their Hanboks (Korean formal wear) at the park. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Yeah! For Good News!

We have had GOOD news with Emma's health the past couple weeks! Two of the things that made her a "special needs" baby were a hole in her heart (ASD), and ROP (retinopathy of prematurity -- yes, I butchered it). In the last week and a half, we have found out that the hole in her heart has finally closed and that her left eye (the one they were more concerned about) is fine as well! God has healed our sweet angel of 2 needs that could have had lasting affects for her. YEAH!!! There are a few other things to keep an eye on but nothing serious. We are so excited to have this good news! Thank you for your continued prayers for Emma and our family!

Natalie and Tenasia are officially...

Baugher's! I am so excited for them that the journey to making them their's is over!!! Praise God! Now we can all just focus on the fun of the kids' instead of having court always looming in the back of the mind. All praise to God for making it an easy enjoyable day, with right's signed over, instead of long and stressful.

11 months old!

I can't believe that our sweet angel is 11 months old already! Boy, time sure does fly...oh, I guess it has been only 2 weeks home ;-) Really, I am SO not ready to be celebrating her 1st birthday in less than a month. October 6 she will be 1 year old!!! We are still having a few grieving issues, but it is much better. I think she is starting to get used to this place, and these strange looking people. She adores her brothers and sister. Mommy and Daddy can't get her to laugh, but the boys especially have her laughing in a heartbeat! I put a new picture on the side, but it didn't post very well. For some reason it stretched out or something. Thanks for keeping up with our crew, and for all of your prayers!!!

Emma at home!
