1st Annual Adoption Celebration Walk

FSA (families supporting adoption) held our first annual adoption celebration walk the first weekend in November.  It was a lot of fun and it feels great to celebrate adoption with people whose lives have also been touched by this miracle.  : )

Preston's Birthday!!!

Look who's 1!!!  Preston's birthday was October 15th and we had a wonderful family day, including time at the park and spaghetti dinner that Preston LOVED.  Because of his allergies I made a chocolate oatmeal cake.  It was an interesting recipe with no egg or milk, but he didn't seem to mind.   : )  Preston has the best laugh and big, gorgeous brown eyes.  He loves to be with his brothers and is already learning to 
"wrestle" with dad and brothers.  He was taking steps by one, but not fully walking.  He got so proud and excited that he'd get weak and fall to the ground.  : )  We are so grateful for this beautiful little boy and count our blessings every single day.   







We definitely remembered and celebrated the courage of Marisol, who we love dearly.  Who can look at this picture and not admire her and recognize pure love and sacrifice?  Her pure love has blessed our family beyond measure, and we fully reciprocate that love!
What a beautiful baby boy!  These are precious moments with him that we will treasure forever.
