My First Mothers Day

Well, this was a very special day for me - I had been thinking about this day for a while and even sometimes wondering if it would ever come! Then God brought a wonderful man into my life whose heart was open to building a family through adoption. Michael made it truly a special day and our little daughter was dedicated. Michael bought me a beautiful necklace and made me a fabulous picture frame with some pictures of me and Celeste with one frame with "Emily's first mothers day - may 11th, 2008". I loved it!! He also gave me a gift certificate for a Mani-Pedi at my fav Nail Salon. Anyway, it was a wonderful day and my Dad did the dedication as well as gave the sermon (I will get taped copies if possible to the syblins - it was fabulous!). What an incredible day -I am truly a blessed woman!

Outdoor Worship Service

Recently, our church had it's first outdoor worship service under our picnic shelter. It was a great time. Here's some fun pictures.

Celeste loved her first outdoor service, too!

Couldn't resist posting these!

GONE!!!!!!

Celeste is TWO!!

Ok - well time does not fly by that quickly, but it is hard to believe that Celeste is two months old already. She is smiling, cooing and so much fun to play with and talk too - she loves being talked to and giving her two cents worth (she get's that from both sides!!). Anyway - here is a little comparison between two weeks and two months. She already has grown so fast!! On a side note, "thank you" does not even seem to express how we feel about all the love, support (and fun baby stuff) that we have received from all our friends and family. Enjoy the pictures, I put in some of her smiling and one of her "Cheesy Grin" as we call it!
