Okay, I can't stand it any more...

We FINALLY took our kids and got birthday pictures done for ALL of them. We got behind because they were all so sick this winter and then I got sick, blah, blah, blah...anyway, yesterday we did it and now I just HAVE to share. Thank you all in advance for indulging me!! I just am so proud and honored to be part of the lives of these beautiful people and I promise each of you waiting that it IS worth it and it WILL come true for you in God's own time!!

Here are my beautiful blessings in their birthday line up....
FYI.........
Karrey turned 4 in January
Savannah will turn 4 in July
Brian turned 2 in December!!!
Lileigh turned 1 in March
