So, with that being said, here is my FFF for this week... my pride and joy! A few outtakes from our photo shoot as I can't reveal the winner just yet!
Nice electrical outlet placement!
Cheesaroonie!!
Do you hear what I hear??
Just take the picture, mom!
Bug was completely over it and not too fond of being up there, either!
Please add some blogger friend to your prayers:
*Corey has been waiting on a birth certificate from Mixco for her beautiful baby daughter, Sarah, for way too long. Please pray that the civil registry releases her (as well as many other children's birth certificates) so that their children can come home!!!
UPDATE on Corey's BLOG - AWESOME NEWS!!! Sarah has her BC!!
*Sarah can use our prayers as she and her family deal with the loss of a little girl, Christella, they sponsored to come to the US from Haiti for life saving surgery. They just got word that their "Ella" passed away in Haiti just two months after being returned to her family. Prayers for the baby's family in Haiti too... I just cannot imagine the pain of losing a child.
*Michelle can use our prayers right now too.
*Wendy needs our prayers for her little Peri Brynn to be released from PGN so that she can get the medical care she needs at home!
*Please pray for Robyn's Grandmother. She suffered a fall this week and her health has deteriorated rapidly. Many prayers needed to pray her into Heaven if that is His will. UPDATE... her grandmother is doing better over the weekend. Keep her in your prayers. UPDATE 12/4 - Robyn's sweet Grandmother went to Heaven today and is at peace and is reunited with her beloved husband. Please say many prayers for the family she has left behind.
Also, a shout out to my friend, Alma (who does not have a blog - tsk tsk), who just returned last week from a visit trip to sign POA for her new baby girl, Natalia, born October 27th! Many of the Guatoberfest people remember meeting her in Atlanta with me. She just LOVED loving all over our babies in preparation for her to become a mom for the first time! Natalia is just gorgeous! Please pray that she has a smooth process to bring her daughter home with all the uncertainty with Guatemala adoptions right now. UPDATE - DNA was done TODAY on Miss Natalia, please pray for a speedy PA!
More shout outs!
*Cameo is home with her baby Valentina - Yippee!!!
*Shannon is awaiting PINK for her sweet Analise!! Come on PINK! UPDATE: Analise is coming HOME! Embassy appointment is 12/11 and they are leaving to go get their sweet baby girl forever!!
*My great friend, Dawn is waiting on word to pickup her Jellybean from Haiti very soon!! UPDATE: Jellybean's original immigration paperwork has been lost. Please pray that the National Visa Center will allow copies to be submitted for the lost originals so that little J can come home!
*Cheri is back in PGN after being kicked out for 11 1/2 months for an unsigned cedula. Prayers that Eliana is released soon!!
*Shannon is a mom! She received her referral for Emily from China and is awaiting Travel Approval to go pick her up! UPDATE 12/3: Shannon received her TA and is leaving THIS SATURDAY 12/8 to pick up Miss Emily forever!!
*Missy arrived home today with her precious little Will!
*Sharon is home with her beautiful Olivia!!
Finally, my friend Heather, who brought home Allie this year, is once again collecting items for Jacob's stocking. One of her triplet sons, Amazing Jacob, passed away last summer after his courageous battle with cancer. To keep Jacob's giving and loving spirit alive, they are collecting donations of gift cards and books to donate to the children still battling this horrible disease. Jacob will never be forgotten!!

wow, I had no idea little ella passed away. I'm in tears right now. I followed her story when she came to the us for surgery!! So sad!!
On another note, could you add me? I'd like to join into the friday foto fun!
How very true - we all are very blessed to be parents to all of these beautiful, smiling children. I feel the same when looking through the camera lens at mine!
Our FFF is posted as well!
Hey Sarah! Love your Christmas photos! You can fade out the electric outlet hat Sophiebug is wearing with some editing software! Hee hee! I don't know how many pictures of tree branches sticking out the kid's heads around here!
I am so touched to read of all the prayer requests, and certainly will keep these people in my thoughts and prayers!!
Please add me to the FFF!

I love your idea for this week's FFF. :) I could fill my blog with such "outtakes" as it takes me many many shots to get the winner. LOL P.S. We did our Christmas card shots this year in black shirts and jeans too. :)
Cute pictures. I love their expressions! Please feel free to add a link to my FFF.
