A BIG smile...



Walker started smiling recently...and really likes to smile when I talk to him, I LOVE it ! He has the cutest little toothless grin! Auntie Candi was lucky enough to catch it on camera :)

Auntie Candi and Walker


Brookie and mommy


Here ya go Uncle Scooter...




Uncle Scott went to Korea and brought Brooklynn back a beautiful dress, and Nikolas a really cool Korean soccer jersey. I have been meaning to take pics of them in their outfits for a while- but just now got around to it. They had a lot of fun with Brooks dress. She has a while to go before she will outgrow it.

Brook & her walker



Brooklynn has been learning to walk, and likes to use her walker to get around the house. She pushes it around and practices walking. Now she likes to push it to the middle of the living room and then takes off and walks a few steps to the couch. Today she took several steps with Unckie and Auntie.

Jill's Baby shower




My good friend Jillian had her baby shower this past weekend. I was one of the hostesses (although with all the kids, and giving birth- I wasn't able to help as much as I would have liked).

Her baby boy- Branson Robert was born 8 weeks early. He is doing REALLY well though, and is breathing on his own, and has no complications. He is staying in the NICU till he is 35 weeks (another couple weeks). She got out on Saturday, and we had the shower on Sunday. She is doing really well, however I know it has to be hard for her to have to leave the little man in the hospital...she is very strong though. I gave her the brand new bassinet that I bought for Walker his first week of life, he doesn't really like it- and sleeps with me in the bed. She got a lot of great things.

Nikolas at the picnic...




Brooklynn




Brooklynn is SO photogenic! Here she is hanging out with Amy- our caseworker, Amy did Nikolas' adoption and is now doing Brooklynns- we love Amy !

and I took the kids to the LSSS (our adoption agency) picnic. We took out the triple stroller for the first time. It worked really well...and we definitely got alot of looks !

Mommy's Baby Boy !



Yeah...Aunt Candice is here to take lots of pictures. I usually am the one taking them, it is nice to have some pictures that have me in them :)


Aunt Candi





Aunt Candice came today...we are all so happy she is here! She instantly fell in love with all the kids and got a preview of how the next few weeks are going to be with 3 kids ( Brook and Walker cried the whole way home from the airport). We are trying to get Nikolas to call her Candi...he hasn't said it yet, but it won't take long ! She is going to help me keep up with the blog the next few weeks and take a lot more pictures than I have been.

Sleeping Baby...


Walker likes to sleep with his lip sucked in his mouth...it is adorable!
