FUNDRAISING IDEAS!!!

In the last few weeks, we have had the opportunity to share our adoption story with another couple who is in the process of a domestic adoption. It has been such a blessing!

They have finished their H.S. and now they are playing the "wait game." The only hold back now is the finances. If any of you out there have any fundraising ideas, PLEASE let me know! Money is such a crucial part to an adoption, however it should never be able to hold someone back from adopting!

Keep them in your prayers and thank you for any ideas you may have! To follow their journey go to, www.bastianbabylove.blogspot.com


Love to all and God bless!

P.S. We are all doing awesome here! We'll post pics soon!!!

WE LOVE TO EAT!!!

Tonight was the first time that Zach ate baby cereal. He has been so hungry lately! After much advice, we caved in and let him try it. He figured it out quickly and I couldn't feed him fast enough. Everytime I would give him a bite, I would wait a bit to make sure he was ready for the next. If I waited to long he would yell at me..."ah ah ah ahhhhhh!!!" He was so stinkin' cute ;-)

Talk about slackin'!!! This blog hasn't been updated in a LONG time...ooooppppsssss!!! Needless to say, our life has been quite busy! Our girls are so close to starting school, so we are making the best of the rest of the summer! Mr. Man is quite a character! He chats with you now, smiles a TON, grabs for things, drinks 6oz at a time, goes to bed at 7pm and sleeps until 4:30ish!!!! He is such a good baby ;-) He has recently decided that when we get to the grocery store, he would prefer to be held during our shopping trip instead of sitting in his comfy little car seat. You should see the looks when I have a baby on my hip, my 8 yr old pushing the cart, my 5 yr old following right behind and my 4 yr old bringing up the rear with a little tune of her own(she will be famous someday!) It's quite comical to see all of the "you crazy lady" looks;-) THANK GOD I HAVE GOOD KIDS!!! I am looking forward to the one on one time that Zachary and I will have once school starts...I have a feeling that I won't be as entertaining as his sisters though!

The new pics are of Zach at the store in the cart(didn't last long). The other one is of him in his new Bumbo chair.

Hope you all are well and we'll try to update this thing more often.

"Superman"

Time fly's when your having fun! I just realized that this blog has not been updated in a while...

Things are going great! We went on our 1st camping trip as a family of 6last weekend...AWESOME!!! Zach does great when we go out of town. When we get home though, he tends to need a bit more attention for a few days. Nothing that we can't handle ;-)

We are working on 13lbs and trying to gain an inch or so. The smiles and laughter from him are priceless! He is a SUPER STRONG little guy! He loves to stand(with assistance), rolls from his tummy to his back, he has quite the big guy grip and chats with us on a daily basis.

The posted pics had me cracking up! He looks like quite a man ;-)

God bless!

Growing up quick

THINGS HAVE BEEN GOING FANTASTIC IN OUR HOUSEHOLD! THE KIDS ARE ALL HAVING A GOOD SUMMER. THE TIME THAT WE ARE ALL SPENDING TOGETHER HAS REALLY MADE THE BONDING PROCESS GO FLAWLESS. ZACH IS GROWING LIKE A WEED! HE IS SMILING, MAKING NOISES, STAYING AWAKE A TON MORE, AND WAKING UP LESS AT NIGHT. HE IS REALLY AN AMAZING LITTLE MAN!

WE ARE HEADING TO OUR 2 MONTH DOCTORS APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY. WE ARE ANXIOUS TO SEE WHAT PERCENTILE HE WILL FALL IN AS FAR AS HIS GROWTH. LAST MONTH HE WAS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS.

HERE ARE A COUPLE OF NEW PICS...

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all of the dad's out there! Things are going great here! We had our first post home visit last week, it went perfectly. Zach is growing like crazy! He is becoming alot more alert everyday, it's so fun!!

We hope you all are doing well, until next time...
