Family Time

We were all missing Aria....she took a school trip to Spain. I was having the hardest time with it, I missed my little girl.

Tanner was such a smart boy he was learning to use the potty already.

He loved dancing with his big sister Mia!

Tj and I had so much fun teaching him how to talk.

Cant wait for Aria to get home though its not the same without her!

Time flies by way to fast!!!

Tanner is now 2 and the girls are almost done with school. I cant beileive how fast my children are growing. I enjoy every minute with them and try not to think about the girls moving out!

Tanner always seems to have a sparkle in his eye. He is such a wonderful child!

Except when he picks his nose. That little stinker!!

My sleeping angel!!!

Can get enough of him!

Tj and I loved having a little baby around the house again. With the girls it was always busy because their was two of them but now with one Tj and I have so much more time to spread our love out evenly!

Even his little baby farts are cute!!

Tj is such a good father and he is very proud of his son!

I love seeing him smile!! Playing with him is always fun!

Aria and Mia's surprise

We thought it would be a good gift for the girls if we got them a car for their birthday. We seen this truck for sale down at Bob's Garage and thought it would be a god fit for the both of them to share.

New Baby

Our new baby BOY arrived within the next week. He weighed in at 6 lbs. 2 oz. and was 18 in. long. He was a tiny little thing. He was only 2 weeks old when they brought him to us. We named him Tanner.

Tj and Tanner bonded right away. He loved sitting in his bedroom reading to him. It seemed to always put him right to sleep. He was a wonderful baby!

I was so happy with the choice we made. I wouldnt have it any other way!

Discussions

Tj and I had talked about having more children when the girls grew up. Now that the girls were teenagers I was getting the "baby itch" more then ever! Ive always wanted to adopt a baby and we had plenty of room for another child or two! I thought while I was making dinner that evening that I would discuss this with Tj after the girls go to bed.

I told Tj that I wanted to talk to him about something important. I could tell that he was sorta nervous about that. I didnt know how he would feel about adoption.

After we talked and I told him I was thinking about adoption he just kinda sat there and looked at me for a while. I thought to myself that he thought I was crazy. We were perfectly capable of creating our own child. But there are thousands of babies out there that need families now. We could always have more children of our own later. Tj looked at me and told me that he thought it was a wonderful idea! I was SO SO HAPPY!

It was settled then WE WERE ADOPTING!!!

I made the phone call to the adoption agency that next morning. I couldnt wait to have a ity bity baby around again. The girls just seemed to grow up so fast!

TEENAGERS!!!

It was the girls' birtday once again. Everything in the house was all in its place and now it was time for their party. They were becoming TEENAGERS!!!!

The girls were really excited to be getting older!

They both turned into beautiful young women!

Mia with her long blonde curly hair!

Aria with her skin just like her daddy!

We more then one surprise for them also!
