Favorite Foto Friday #40 - FUN IN THE SUN!

This week's FFF is Fun In The Sun... we did not have too much sunshine this week, so I am reverting back to our fun Spring Break week last month and thought I would choose my favorite picture of my little Bug outside in the gorgeous weather... a little blurry but I LOVE this picture.



If you would like me to link your FFF post, please leave a comment. If your profile is private, please leave a link to your post and I will link you!

Wordless Wednesday

A Mothers Day Gift

My friend, Angel, sends this out each year to those she considers her heroes.... little does she know, she is OUR hero! Thanks Angel for this beautiful video! It links all of us together into a beautiful blended family!


And, please stop by her blog to wish her good luck on her upcoming trip to China to pick up Kaiya, who just turned 2!! Happy Birthday sweet girl! Your mommy is coming for you soon!

Please also check into Angel's Red Letter Campaign to help end poverty.

Feliz Dia de Las Madres!

Today, I received some pictures of my sweet sponsored child, Dayli, her little sister, Fristy and their mother, Regina receiving their Mothers Day basket from Mayan Families. They received a roasted chicken as well as a basket full of fresh fruit and food to share with their family. Regina has 7 children to feed and care for... God bless her on this very special day!




I am also thinking of two more special mothers in Guatemala today... Sophie~Bug's birthmother, CL, and Mayra, her foster mother, who cared for her for the first five months of her life. Mayra even sent me a Mothers Day card this year... such a sweet lady!


Feliz Dia de Las Madres!!

Favorite Foto Friday #39 - MOMMY & ME

In honor of Mothers Day this weekend, please post the pictures that mean the most to us as mothers... us and our children...

This has to be my favorite picture of my mommy moment... is is from our visit trip to meet Sophie in Guatemala. It is one of the first pictures of me with all THREE of my babies and also with my mother (aka Nana):


But, since you have gotten to know me so well and know that I cannot choose just one picture for FFF (which is what FFF started out to be, you know... your ONE favorite picture - leave it to me to break the rules), here are few more of me and my precious children.











I realize after searching for these pictures of me and my kiddos, that I am not in front of the camera lens very often (which I am sure most of us are guilty of)... I am going to make a more conscious effort to get more pictures of me WITH my children.

To participate in FFF, please post your picture(s) on your blog and leave a comment here and I will link you. You can post using the theme or just post your favorite photo. If your profile is private or your blog unlisted, please leave a link to your blog so I can find you. And as always... looking forward to seeing your FFF of the week! I just know that this week is going to be one of my favorites!

Celebrating Adoption Photos

Sophie had her Celebrating Adoption photo session last month by a wonderful lady named Sarah Havard. She has graciously allowed me to post a few of my favorite images from Sophie's session.






I am still trying to decide which one is my favorite so I can order. Help me choose!

Call to Prayer

Please go HERE to find out more. And check out Stacie's blog to see the very faces of those beautiful children waiting to come home to their families.

Please pray for the orphans of Guatemala... may the children in process come home to their forever families VERY SOON!

Please keep my friend, Mary Beth in your prayers too. She is not a blogger, but her little girl, Elliana needs to come home soon too!
