a June to remember....

so we have been wildly busy this june....but man has it been great!!! we had such a big surprise when our african friends arrived early that we have just loved every minute of having them here. these pics really just have the boys in them, b/c to my crew their best buddies are home and they are soaking it in!
this pic was taken with in the first few minutes of them being here!
these two are 2 peas in a pod.....it was like they were never apart!


nate sooo excited to have more of his boys back....

i think the baboons over in africa have taught brax a few tricks

ohhhh and none of us can get enough of this sweet thing!

5, really?

i can't believe it...... today my big brother, Cy turned 5 and i am a little unsure about this! i mean 5 is soooo big, and for some reason today he just looked soooo big. but i am so thankful for each day of his sweet, special and precious little life. in a lot of ways, he is a mini me of his dad and then in a lot of ways, i feel like i am looking at myself in the mirror. he is a sweet combination of us both. what a fun day, filled with some very special peeps in attendance.

monkey bread and a football candle for breakfast!

sweet lunch crew....

mom and her big 5 year old

daddy, cy and yes, braxton drake....

thinking about being 5....... with a pink cake!

we loved on all our family members.......


and we enjoyed LOTS of dad time..........

and so we will wait in the pool.......

not the swimming pool...... the official adoption waiting pool!!!!!!!

yes, we are officially ready to be chosen for a sweet little girl. nate and i spent friday in south georgia turning in our paperwork, handing over our amazing lifebooks (thanks Bec) and learning all about the process.

so please join us as we pray for God's amazing hand to guide us, give us patience and lead us to the little bundle of pink that has been apart of our family since before we even imagined!!!
