Daddy Daughter Dance 2009

Not sure if this will be the last one, but Nate and Taylor enjoyed yet another Daddy Daughter Dance. I believe this was their 7th one. Taylor is growing up before our eyes. This year she wanted an "up" do, so we did our best, especially considering we had an Upward game for Drew and she had play practice until 4. And with Nate's ankle still healing, I had to be their driver for the evening.

Here is Taylor alone, enjoying the attention.


And here are the two of them at the dance. Taylor said she tried to hide Daddy's boot :)


God is Good!

Taking a break from the Adoption stuff, today was a big day! Drew had his first Upward Basketball game...









































And Taylor and Nate went to the Daddy Daughter Dance this evening. They are at dinner right now, and then off to the dance!

Mommy & Me Dance

Drew and I went to our second Mom and Me Dance. This years theme was All Star, so it was kinda nice to be able to go in something comfortable (you all know how much I like to dress up!) It was nice, but it may be our last time going. Drew is not into it at all. I guess he's just too cool for his mom.

I had to include this photo. Drew WOKE UP like this! Crazy haired kid! He loves to have his hair in a mohawk, and he got his wish. He wore it to school like this, but it was flattened by the time he got home at noon.

I needed to throw in a few new ones of Toby, just because!! This boy's smile can light up my day! Of course when he has his "grumpy pants" on... look out!

And here is a photo of my sleeping angel! Isn't he beautiful!! He sleeps with his blank blank, and it's always touching his face. He either has it on his cheek, or often times, wrapped around his head like a scarf. It's so darn cute.

We did get the papers on his court date, and we will be finalizing on March 10th at 2:30!! I can't wait and I can't believe it!! God is so Good! We go to Summit County, so we plan on taking the older kids out of school at 11:30, have some lunch at a nice restaurant (yet to be determined) and go to the hearing. After, we are hoping to go to Inventure Place and have some fun family time! We have room for 10 people to be in the court with us, if anyone wants to come, let me know. It looks like our family will only take up 2-3 places!!

God Is GOOD!

Daddy Daughter Dance

Well, tonight was a big night in our house. Taylor and her daddy went to the Daddy Daughter Dance. It is something they look forward to every year. They went to dinner before the dance, then enjoyed a few hours of quality time at the dance. Taylor got a new dress this year, and daddy even got a new sport coat! Mommy used curlers in Taylor's hair and she wore some special jewelry, a ring her Grandma Debbie bought mommy, and earrings that Daddy bought mommy when we were dating. They sure looked nice!
One of the final songs was Cinderella, by Steven Curtis Chapman. It is one of his new songs, we heard at the concert. It's amazing!! Nate took the CD to the dance and asked them to play it. I guess there were very few dry eyes in the house!

God is Good!
