Easter

what a wonderful easter we had...My 2oldest kids were home from college so all 6 of my kids were here and my niece also had dinner with us.Landen loved his easter basket.He loved his hotwheels and bubblesaurus the best.He is not a candy kid so easter bunny only brought M and Ms (his favorite).
We had a easter egg hunt for Landen out in the yard and he had a blast.He was so proud he found all 12 eggs on his own.Although big sister Linda had to tell him to look down to see them.He was so proud he came inside and brought his basket to me and said ook (look).
Dinner was wonderful we ate and visited.Our oldest daughter Hannah stayed until evening time and headed back to her college dorm as she had school the next day.My son William stayed the night and i took him back to his school the following day.I felt so blessed with all my kids and my amzing husband being together on this glorious day.I am kicking myself for not taking pics.
Oh and easter egg coloring..My 12 yr old Rebecca ended up coloring all the eggs.Landen did not feel well saturday evening and went to bed early.Rebecca loved it.Of course she made camo eggs..she loves camo becuse her daddy is a soldier and she is PROUD of him as we all are.

Getting closer!

I am so happy we are closer to our goal.If we keep this up we will have all the money needed to adopt our baby.We are Praying for God to provide .I deposited more money into our account so it is growing.I went to my most favorite store today(hobby lobby).I seen a pattern for counted cross stitch bibs.I found one that says made in America but im going to make it and have it say made in ethiopia.
Life has been a whirlwind with the new job.I really like this job its more part time which means more time with my kids and husband.Landen has been a ham this week he is such a mommas boy.I love this kid so much.I love it when he looks at me with those big brown eyes and wants me to pick him up and cuddle him.
Oh and he learned something..He has learned to take his shoes off on his OWN.Now to get him to learn to put them on himself and on the right feet.Tommorrow i schedule his yearly check up with the nuerologist at the childrens hospital.I am positive he needs his tegretol increased.He has had a couple seizures that should not have happened.They also need to check his levels anyway.
He has come so far from october 2004 when he joined our family.He was not able to feed himself and was very with drawn.He is now outgoing ..feeds himself wonderfully and has just made leaps and bounds in the last 3 yrs.Although he still requires a sip cup becuase he spills and throws.I have been so blessed to be this little mans momma.I realy need to post some new pics of him.As you can see from the one i did post he is very handsome little man.

New Job!

I got a new job.This one is much better and it gives me quality time with my aunt.It will also be great when the baby comes home as my hours are wonderful.I dont sleep much anymore all i think about is our adoption Journey.
I so bad am ready to get moving on this but Michael wants to have all the funds together .Why do i gripe i dont know because we are ALMOST there.I have been keeping plenty busy with an active 8 yr old who is so much fun .He wears me out sometimes but i would not have it anyother way.Landen got spring pics taken today at school .I cant wait to get them i will post them on here as soon as i can.
I guess i am antsy about this adoption because after India(not for impatient people like myself).The wait time is so so hard.I dream about our future child and the joy this child will bring to our lives.All 6 of them are the most amazing children a parent could ever ask for.They are all excited about building our family with a new baby.They have even picked out names lol.ok enough of my ramblings time for me to try and get some sleep.
