Bethany's Last Day of Kindergarten

Boys' Baptism

Caleb and Amos were baptized on Sunday at Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church.

Nate and I were married in this very spot. Naomi, Jacob, and Bethany were all baptized here as well.

Pastor Joe said, "Ok, we can just say the benediction and go home!" because being hugged by Amos was like a sermon and worship music all in one!

After the service we had a huge party to celebrate the boys, their baptism and their coming into our family.

We had at least 108 people at the house!

THANK YOU!!!

to everyone who came

to those who prayed us through this process

and continue to pray as we learn to parent five

to those who gave of their time, talents and money

so that we could be a family of seven.

We are forever thankful!

We are so very blessed.

(and a special thank you to Abby who took all these lovely pictures of our day!)

Beach Bliss, Cousin Craziness, and Princess Penni

Caleb and Amos's first time ever at the beach

They loved it!

Caleb spent most of his time with a ring, swimmies, goggles and a wave board. He loved hopping the waves when I would walk out with him, laying in the shallows, playing in the sand, and running on the beach.

We enjoyed our visit with Penni and Jorja SO SO SO MUCH!

Penni's birthday (#5!!) was while we were in Jacksonville. Yay! We took her out for a birthday donut for breakfast.

For dinner, Penni chose McDonalds, but when we saw that McDonalds didn't have a playground we "settled" for Chikfila. It was really fun! They gave us free balloons and free ice cream with candy! 

We also brought cupcakes, and oh, yes, they ate a little chicken, fruit and fries as well.

SUGAR RUSH!

And look what God gave Penni for her birthday! 

More beach bliss!

Tickle fun with Aunt Fish

Thanks Fish and Aaron for letting us come!

We had a GREAT time!
