Grace Is Four

Believe it or not Grace is Four!

Grace has grown so much this past year and I don't mean in height, she is still our petite princess. She  completed her first year of preschool and LOVED it. She is trying new things all the time and although very timid around strangers and big groups, one on one she shines. Grace  is an amazing sister always looking out for her brothers and making sure they do whats right.  My little drama queen is always  Grace went on her first plane ride in February and loved every minute of it.  

Happy Birthday Cameron

Five years ago our Prayers were answered when the cutest little boy was welcomed into the world. I can still remember looking into his face the day after he was born and being overcome with emotions that he was finally here. Cameron is a great kid, he is in his second year of Preschool and learning lots. Cameron is playing soccer this year and well lets just say he takes after his Dad. Cameron is a great big brother and friend. He loves to ride his bike, and scooter, to tricks on the tramp and play with his friends. We are so blessed to have Cameron in our family , Happy Birthday Monkey!

My baby is Two

I am amazed at how fast a year flys when it is measured by the growth of a child. Wyatt turned two on Thursday and it makes me a little sad that his baby days are behind him. He is an active little Monster (I use Monster in the most adorable way possible) constantly getting into EVERYTHING. Wyatt loves to climb to the top of anything (much to his moms dismay) Any food or beverage left on any surface is fare game nothing is out of reach for Wyatt. Wyatt is the happiest little guy around, his laugh is contagious and his kisses are the best. I am so blessed to call him my son and I thank my Father in Heaven daily for sending him to our family. Happy Birthday Wyatt I love you.

Grace is THREE

Our little Princess is the big 3. Grace has changed so much this year she has grown in more than just size. Our timid little girl has started to come out of her shell in fact Kevin and I cant believe we have to ask her to quite down now. Her little personalty is really coming to the surface and her tender heart is bigger than ever. Grace is always the first to comfort someone in need even when its her older brother crying after getting punished for pushing her. Grace finished her speech therapy in July and passed all of her tests with above average scores we are so happy for her success. Grace will be starting Preschool in September and cant wait to "paint"

We love her more than words can say. HAppy Birthday Princess!!

Stress

So most of you know that we were just informed that Gracie's birth mother (Danielle) lied about Matt (still Wyatt's Birth father we think) being her birth father and that her actual birth father (Shaun) was just told about Grace and now he wants to meet her. He is in Iraq until April sometime but we are a little stressed as to what his rights (if any) are. He has told Danielle to get an abortion so I don't really feel to bad for the guy but we are still waiting to see what happens. Our attorney is still researching and as of today we still don't know much. He is part Cherokee ( reservations have their own laws) but unless he is registered with a Tribe we don't know if that will play into things much. We have seen a picture and its pretty obvious there is a resemblance to Grace, but he said he wants to have a paternity test to be sure. We are praying he will realize she is in a good home with two parents that can love and take care of her and he will leave it at that. We are feeling good that things will go well but its still a little stressful not knowing. I guess that's where Faith comes in again. Because of all this I have felt the need to go private with my blog, none of them know our last name but I don't think it would be to hard to track us down with the right information so I just want to be safe. Thanks for all your prayers in our behalf, I'll post more info as we get it.
