Ronald McDonald House

My fellow adoptive Mama's and I decided it was time to give back to the community. We decided to spend an afternoon at one our local favorites and cook dinner for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House. It felt wonderful to do something for others and I got to hang with some of my favorites! 

Uncle Nate's New Job

Uncle Nate was recently named the Director of Admissions for Midwest Recovery. 

Midwest just recently opened their doors but it's thriving! 

And Uncle Nate has been working his tail off. There aren't too many nights when we see him before 8-9:00. But he is doing what he loves and I couldn't be more proud! 

We went to go visit him at his new office. The girls loved having access to everyone's candy jars in the office. 

Cheering at the Football Game

Addy's cheer season is in full swing. The girls have come so far in a few weeks! She absolutely loves it! It's so sweet! All three of the squads were invited to cheer at the football game. 

Addy had her friend, Anna

She only cheered for a few minutes of the first quarter. But when she walked out to the field, she was waving like she was in the Miss America pageant. Ha!

She did wonderful and was bummed she couldn't stay out for longer.

Day Off School

The school had a teacher in service day so that left a day off for the girls! 

We are so lucky to have great friends who invited the girls to play with them for the day! 

They had so much fun! 

Thanks Melissa, Lyla, Cora, Molly, Cora and Lincoln! 

Releasing Butterflies!

I picked the girls up early from school one day for a dentist appointment. 

We were just in time to help the principal release butterflies! 

Addy wanted no part of it but Ava and I thought it was very cool!

Happy Birthday, Leilani!

 We headed to Medina to celebrate Leilani's FIFTH birthday, Luau style. 

We had a wonderful! 

These two get along so well!

Ava and Nick had a great time, twinning and playing football!

And I enjoyed myself being a baby hog to Baby Bennett. He is so precious.
