Joy to Love 8~ Gift from the Heart...

I couldn't agree more with Sharon from http://isntshelovelyshay.blogspot.com/. I instantly thought of my sweet heart baby. My True Gift from the Heart would be The Gift of my Heart baby Hannah. Most of you know we almost lost her 10 months ago. She is our miracle and the greatest Gift from the Lord. We have seen her fight for her life, and have seen her thrive and amaze us all. She is doing so incredible and we feel so blessed to have her in our lives. A true gift.

Generations~ Joy to Love

Day 7 of Joy to Love assignment. We were

suppose to capture a Generations pose. Here is

Hannah with her Papa and Great Papa.

Chinese New Year

We have celebrated CNY the last couple of years however this year was the absolute best. This year was special because Hannah was finally home and able to celebrate with us. We started out by making lanterns and decorating the house. We made chocolate dipped fortune cookies and filled lucky money envelopes for our friends at co-op. On CNY we spent the day at the Huntington library where they have a beautiful Chinese garden and then went to a yummy Chinese restaurant with my parents for dinner. Today we celebrated with friends who also have adopted Chinese beauties at the Down Town China Parade. We shopped and ate and watched a fun parade. It has been so fun for all of us to learn so much about our daughters culture and incorporate that into our own families. It has been a week of new and wonderful memories that we will cherish forever.

Joy To Love Day 4 and 5

What They Wear~ Joy to Love

The Picture of the three did not turn out the best. However it shows them all dressed up in there Chinese flare. We love dressing up for any occasion and since it was Chinese new year we decided to make the most of it. The boys are wearing shirts that say Year of the Rabbit and Happy New Year and of coarse Hannah is wearing her pretty silk dress.

Joy of Love~ 05 Love to Hate

Todays post we had to shoot something that describes Love to Hate.

I LOVE the fact that these Medicines are helping to improve my baby girls health. I however Hate that I have to give them to her so many times of the day and am always in fear that I will forget one or give her too much of one. On the flip side things could be so much worse so I count my blessings this is the worst of it. To be honest I had a hard time coming up with something for this topic. I almost did not do it. Hate is such a strong word that we do not use very often. I had a hard time thinking of something. Anyhow here it is my LOVE To Hate picture.

The Joy Of Love Day 3

This is Noah Then and Now. He still loves to perform and put on shows for us all. He is a tender hearted soul who loves to do for others. He has a love for learning anything and everything. When this picture was taken he was very into Thomas The Train. Now he is into Star Wars and playing the WII. He is certainly growing up before my very eyes. I love you so much.

It's not to late to participate. Joy to Love

Yesterdays prompt was~ what they DO...

Todays prompt is How they look...

Since I just signed up last night I decided to do both on this post

This my Husband(Isn't he handsome)this picture was not taken by me. Since he is out of town I couldn't take his sweet picture. What does he do? He works for Evangelical Christian Credit Union. He handles major accounts. Schools, pair mission organizations and churches and helps them manage there accounts. He works really hard and we are so very lucky. Because of his hard work I get to stay home with my blessings. This is not all he does. He helps me raise our children, leads a Grace group at our church and recently became an elder. I'm proud to be his wife. We love you.

How they look...

This is my sweet Jonah. He is our silly guy. He is always first to make me and everyone around him laugh. He is the one we are most worried about with the ladies. He is a charmer and makes the girls smile already. Just look at that face . Can you blame them?

Hope you all join in on the fun.

Twice the love

Today my sister in law delivered twins. Cole and Logan arrived early this morning. Because Hannah is sick we will have to wait until next week to meet them. I have been getting updates all day from my wonderful mother in law. Hannah is going to be surrounded by lots of boys. I feel sorry for any boy that ever wants to take this cutie out on a date. Thank you Jesus for answered prayer on a safe delivery. I pray that they would come to know you at an early age and desire to love and serve you all there days. Happy Birthday Cole and Logan!
