Gingerbread Houses: Take Two

Gingerbread Houses: Take Two

My mom, sister and her kids came down on Friday to spend the night. Four years ago, we all got together and let the kids make gingerbread houses out of graham crackers, icing and various candies.

In celebration of Dane

My oldest sister Melissa, my mom, Lucy, April (Angie’s best friend since childhood) and I had a ‘Welcome Home’ celebration for my new nephew Dane and my sister Angie.

The weather was perfect and the kids had their fill of corn dogs, funnel cakes, cheesy midway toys and precariously-put-together carnival rides.

Great weekend

Great weekend

Chris came home on Thursday and we headed to Birmingham on Friday for a weekend away. We took the kids out of school for the day and arrived in the early afternoon.

My new nephew!

Isn’t he just gorgeous!?! My sister, Andrea, and her husband Bob are hoping to bring him home this summer. She just received these new pictures from an incredibly kind family that travelled to their son’s orphanage in February. His name is Dane Xiaoyu and he is 2 1/2 years old and we can’t wait to welcome him into our family…. Read More
