Happy Happy Six Years!

Happy Happy Anniversary!

Greg and I just celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary on Saturday! I still can't believe it has been six years...My soon to be sister in law made the comment, "Wow you guys sure packed a lot into six years"...which got me thinking...WOW we really did pack a lot in six years...

Got married...got pregnant...bought house #1...had to say goodbye to my Dad after he lost his fight with cancer...had my beautiful Sophia Hope...sold House #1...bought house #2...decided to adopt from China...SURPRISE-got pregnant again....travelled to China to get our sweet little Ella Irene (4 months pregnant)...gave birth to my sweet little surprise, Abigail Grace....sold house #2....bought house #3....WOW!

I am so so blessed! Thank you Greg for all you do for our family! May God continue to bless our marriage and family...I love you with all my heart~

Happy First Birthday, Makenzie!

Happy First Birthday, Kenzie!

My dear little niece, Makenzie Faith, turns ONE today! I am so excited to be able to celebrate her big first birthday with her! We have been blessed to have Kenzie and her mommy (my sister) live with us for several months during their family's transition phase of moving upstate from NYC...yep this city girl is quickly becoming a little country bumpkin!

Sophie, Ella, and Abbie just adore their little cousin and their love for one another is just adorable. Abbie and Kenzie, who happen to be just 10 weeks apart, are more like sisters, playing together one minute and pushing the other down the next. I LOVE It!! I always longed for a cousin so to see Kenzie and Abbie together just melts my heart...I know they will always share a special bond!

We love you Kenzie...Happy First Birthday!

Here is a short trip down memory lane with the birthday girl and her best friend...

Niagara Falls...

Niagara Falls

Last week Greg had to take a business trip to Buffalo so we decided to tag along and visit Niagara Falls...We had a great time...the girls thought it was pretty neat but leave it to Sophie to be more interested in the seagulls and a couple dogs than the falls...she is such an animal lover! Ella enjoyed herself. She was afraid of falling in but I'm sure mommy put the fear into her by yelling every 10 seconds to HANG ON TO MY HAND!! There truly is very little between you and the raging waters so I was a tad nervous to say the least! Here are some cute pics...

Sophie chasing seagulls...

LOve this pic of Abbie and her Daddy!~

Sophie is like my little Ace Ventura...just walking with two birds flying beside her... :)

Summer fun...

We have been having a great summer so far! Last week Daddy had a golf outing in Massachusetts so we decided to go along for the ride and take the girls to Six Flags for the day. We had a GREAT day at Six Flags...all three little ladies were well behaved and they all had a great time! We then headed back to the hotel to retire for the night since Daddy had to get up early the next day for a long day of golf...


Well the next day did not go as planned...We went to grab breakfast before Daddy had to leave and found the drivers side window of our car smashed in and the contents of our glove compartment were scattered everywhere! Yep...our car had been broken into as well as two cars parked next to us. So to find out they did not steal a thing! This is what we had in the car at the time of the break in: cash (a couple dollars), portable dvd player (2 screens), a book of dvds, and an xm radio! The police officer told us that they were most likely looking for a GPS system...we did not have a GPS system but we did have several maps in the glove compartment...he could of helped himself to one of our maps if he needed some direction! Anyway...Daddy did not end up golfing b/c we had to find a glass company that would fix our window...but at least we had a great day at Six Flags!!! Here are some pics from the day...

Sophie LOVED all the characters...

Ella...not so much!!

I love this picture...Sophie is SO NOT brave...so I love that I captured her hands up in the air on a ride...a glimpse of her braveness!

Abbie loved the water!

BIG Daddy...LITTLE car.

Abbie almost made it all day...
