Baby Updates first: This is baby Maggy. I got an update today and I think she is so cute. I just love getting updates from my babies and love to share them with you. She looks like an angel doesn't she?
Look at this smile. She looks so happy to be with her "forever" family. She has two big brothers that I am sure take great care of her.
This is Baby Ben and his big sister and brother. Ben is doing well also. You can see pictures of him in older posts.
This is a picture of Baby Kayla and her mommy. Kayla was here with us from 1/17/09-1/30/09. Kayla was born 1/15. She now lives in Oshkosh, WI.
This is Kayla and her daddy.
This is me kissing Kayla. Isn't she gorgeous? All of my babies are so cute. I might be just a little prejudice.
It has taken me a while to get some pictures of Kayla up here because Kayla left on Friday afternoon, and the next day I got this beautiful baby girl, Hannah. She was with us from 1/31/09-2/7/09. Her parents came to get her yesterday. They live in
Greenville, South Carolina. Check out their blog at

This is Hannah meeting her parents and big sister, Abigail. What a precious moment. I always love these moments. What a blessing to see these new parents meet their baby for the first time.
I did hear a rumor that I might be getting twins in the next few weeks. I will let you know if I do. I have lots of friends that are expecting babies in the next few weeks. Please pray for healthy deliveries for Bevin, Michelle, Joni, and Melissa. My friend Courtney just had her baby (Sam-see
Malouf's on the
sidenotes).
Other news: Heath is no longer working for
LifeGuard Ambulance Company. He has been home for the last few days (he still works the fire department, of course) and he has gotten much needed rest. He has an interview with
LifeSouth blood bank this week. Please pray for God's guidance in Heath finding a new part-time job. Our dog, Sadie has been bad. We have decided that she has gotten too big for our family (especially with lots of children around) so we are looking for a great home for her to go to. If you know someone, please tell them to contact us. We are having small group Bible study here at our house on Sunday evenings. I will post pictures from that very soon. I have added some new blog sites over on the
sidenotes. Feel free to check out...www.mycharmingkids.net,

I hope you all have a terrific week, as you get ready for Valentine's Day. As you pray, please remember the Allums' family in your prayers. I have mentioned them before, but they are trying to adopt a baby boy from Guatemala. They have court tomorrow. Please, Please, Please lift them up in prayer. Thank you!
And, I got to see AVA and her parents. Ava was here for her final adoption, so we got to meet up for dinner. They love that baby girl so much and it is great to see them after they have grown a little bit. Ava is 15 weeks old now. She has grown so much and looks so happy. Also, my friend Courtney has had her baby boy, Sam, and my friend, Melissa, has had her baby boy. I will try to post some pictures soon. 
If you are wondering about our small group Bible study, it is going great. We went to the Oaks Assisted Living, on Valentine's Day, and gave all of the patients in the dementia ward valentine cards that our children made and goodies. I was so blessed by doing that. And my motto for the day.... Live every day as it is the Day the Lord is coming!
