Heart Sharing new pictures~

Hi, gang! I had the boys' pictures made Saturday; just wanted to share. I can't wait to see Adrian right in the middle of them! Here is my little 'gangster' Connor, who turns 5 in July; and Cristian Saul just turned 2 in April.
Thanks for letting me share!! Hugs to all, praying for all waiting
-Mel

Oh Mel! Those pics are adorable! I can't believe how big Christian has gotten. What handsome little men you have. Kiss the boys and say hi to your hubby for me. (I have been getting your emails. Adrian and the rest of the children stuck in GT are in prayers.)
