One year with our Pumpkin

And we couldn't feel more blessed. Allyson was placed in DH's arms forever one year ago and arrived home on June 5th to a very excited mommy and big brother. She is a beautiful soul and has completely captured our hearts. We love her dearly and are still amazed and humbled that we get to be her mommy and daddy.

I don't post as often as I once did but I do continue to pray each day for those in process. I hope we see a flood of outs soon. The children need to be home with their families.

Best wishes and blessings to you. Thanks for letting me share.

She is so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

We are all so lucky to have these children to love, hug, kiss and tickle every day.

Bryan Carlos is 2 years old and we are just a few weeks from our 1 year anniversary!

After all that waiting~~~this year has flown by.

I don't miss this process, I pray daily for the children and families waiting to be together

But some days I do miss the "Summer Sisters of 2006"
