No Allowance too High

Can you REALLY pay a 3 year old
who VOLUNTEERS to pick up dog poop
ENOUGH MONEY!?

You can NEVER be too safe!

Mariah has become very attached to her bike helmet...
It is, somehow, less cute when she "needs" to wear it
while you are driving!

Spending a Spring Day with Papa and Nana

Driving Papa's TRUCK!

Mariah told Mama, "Papa took me to play with the creep!"


Exploring the CREEK with Papa!

How deep's the water, 'Riah?

Nana gets her workout swinging for HOURS!

We're EXPECTING!!!

Our big news is that we are in the process of adopting!
We are going to adopt a child or two or three from foster care.
They will most likely not be infants,
probably a sibling group,
their ages may range from 2 to 18.
We are leaning towards the younger kids
so we are dealing with the same issues.
Close to Mariah's age and development.
Because of Mariah we will not consider adding a child
with severe issues or high maintenance special needs.
Mariah's safety and emotional health are first and foremost in our minds.
Gabe and Lola are also taken into consideration
since they will be affected too.
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
If you have questions we are HAPPY to answer them!
There are THOUSANDS of kids out there of all ages who need a home!
Many kids are in 15 different foster homes in a matter of a few years!
Can you imagine not knowing where you will be living in a week?
Who will you be living with next month?
Will they acknowledge your birthday?
Will they hurt you? Feed you?

In the Name of Love...

The "Celebrity" look is hot for Spring...
Mariah apparently likes Bono!
