I am in charge of a playgroup for Kaitlyn. So many of the moms are having 2nd babies. Each one Kaitlyn asks if she can keep the baby. She loves babies it is very cute. We pray we will find a baby soon. Kaitlyn always tells people that mommy's belly is broken and we need to find our baby. Heavenly Father is looking for a special mommy to get our baby to us. She loves her birth mom too. Though we dont get to see her often, we talk about how much she loved Kaitlyn!

We just had this pic taken - I love our family!

Had this one taken too. What a cute couple of kids! I dont remember the last time Dave and I had a picture taken of just the two of us. Kaitlyn was of course very near by.

Today is "Muga's" birthday! Muga was given this name by her first grandchild, Andrew and it has stuck for 10 years now. All the kids know her as muga. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. She is always so nice to read stories, to play, to spend time with us and really truly make us feel important to her. She is a 6th grade teacher and her students are all very lucky to have her for a teacher as they will tell you! We hope she has a nice day.

We are so lucky to have such wonderful support! Dave's parents are always so nice to be around. They leave you feeling happy just talking to them. Kaitlyn loves to see them and play peek a boo. Grandpa spends time with the kids. On a recent trip to visit, we went to the zoo. Grandpa and Kaitlyn looked at all the animals and had lots of fun! Grandma is full of loves and hugs that we all enjoy. When Kaitlyn was first born she came and stayed with us for a few months. It was so very nice to have her with us. Kaitlyn adores her!

We just got back from visiting Kaitlyn's grandparents. She loves all of them very much. We went out to stay with some cousins and tend them. We got to see Muga and Papa a lot. Whenever we get to Muga and Papa's house, Kaite has to help Papa make cookoos right away. He always spends time with her and makes sure all of us know we are loved. He will do anything he can to make sure our lives are easier.

Look at her grow! I had fun making her this cake for a family birthday party!

We have decided it is time. We are ready to start another wonderful adoption. We can't wait . . .

Is growing so fast!

Kaitlyn's birth parents. We are so grateful to them for letting us raise this beautiful baby girl. We know how much they love her and always will. She will always know how much she is loved as will all of our children. We cant wait to have another child to spoil and love too.

This is Regina and Juston on their wedding day, 6 months after Kaite was born. Congratulations to them!

From God's Arms to My Arms to Yours

So many wrong decisions in my past,
I'm not quite sure if I could ever hope to trust my judgment anymore.
But lately I've been thinking, because it's all I've had to do.
And in my heart I feel that I should give this child to you.

Chorus:
And maybe you can tell your baby when you love him so
that he's been loved before
by someone who delivered your son
from God's arms to my arms to yours.

And if you choose to tell him and if he wants to know
how the one who gave him life could bear to let him go,
just tell him there was sleepless nights I prayed and paced the floor
and knew the only peace I'd find is if this child was yours.

Chorus

I know that you don't have to do this, but could you kiss him once for me
the first time that he ties his shoe or falls or skins his knees?
and could you hold him twice as long when he makes his first mistake
and try to tell him that he's not alone? Sometimes that's all it takes.
And he's not alone. I know how much he'll ache.

Chorus

This may not be the answer for another girl like me
and I'm not on a soap box singing how we all should be.
I'm just trusting in my feelings and I'm trusting God above,
and I'm trusting that you can give this baby both his mother's love.
