The Big Bash Weekend Run-Down:

Directions for an exhausting weekend:

Add:

1 TRIP TO DENVER to show off our new kiddlet to our WONDERFUL case worker! Fun to catch up, Kelly! (if you are reading this!)

1 SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR A LITTLE GIRL (w/ 5 of her giggly, dolled-up BEST friends in the world)

1 BABY SHOWER for our family’s newest arrival

1 FAMILY BIRTHDAY/JAYHAWK WATCHING PARTY

1 TRIP to CHURCH

1 LUNCH w/ FRIENDS

Pack into less than 48 hours & stir

Result? Exhaustion in the BEST of ways.

(But, even better-a boatload of blogging thoughts & pics, so stay tuned this week!!!)


This weekend:

It speaks of love.

Love for Ana

Love for Nathaniel

Love for everyone in our (need I say it?) blessed family!

Thank-you to everyone who helped make this weekend special!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was going to have a bunch to say about Ana growing up & all,

but now, all keep saying to myself is:


Is it possible???

Doesn’t seem so.


The growth charts, the maturity, the bigger clothes all say it has happened.
But how did this:

(just as an aside-don't you like how I'm forcing Ana's pics to enter the digital age?? Ha! Ha, Grandad!)

Turn into this?

OK.....you know I HAD to include this picture!

She is now 7!!!

SEVEN!!!

Where did the time go?

We love you, AJD, & are SO glad God chose YOU to be our first precious child!!!

Happy Birthday & have fun being 7!!!
