Oh Happy Day!

Last week my sister and brother-in-law fianlized the adoption of Tristan and Hailey!! We are so happy to have them "offcially" be part of our family. Tristan and Hailey have felt like family since the day they arrived at Kelly and Chris's house, but to make it final is great feeling of such peace and joy. We celebrated with the Newton family and 50+ of their closest friends and family at a park in Corona yesterday where the thermometer pushed 100 degrees! Even though it was HOT, we had a great time celebrating this very special occasion. Here is a link to the website Kelly and Chris have set up for the kids. http://www.babyjellybeans.com/web/do/site/home?ID=176365 There are pictures there of their court proceedings last week, plus much more.



Fianlly, here are the long awaited pictures of Grace's birthday party. I have put them into a costco album, just in case anybody wants to order prints. http://www.costcophotocenter.com/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=20693532/a=4245274/

Till later ... God Bless!

Our Little Star

We took Grace to get her picture taken for her 2nd birthday a couple of weeks ago. When we first walked into the place she started crying. I really thought we were going to have to reschedule. Tim took her and walked her around to look at all of the pictures while I gave them all of our information. After a few minutes she calmed down and it was our turn to take pictures. We put Grace in front of the backdrop and she turned into a different kid. All of a sudden she was totally working the camera. She was doing every pose the Photographer asked her to do with big smiles. We got so many great shots! When we were leaving the store the photographer asked if we would sign a release to use her photos in the store and last week they called to say they were going to put her photos up in the store! I am such a proud momma! Here is a link to view the photos.
