Happy Easter!

Since I am off work with our little princess I have not missed a thing with the boys this easter. I usually do not get to go to their egg hunts at school and Mrs. Vivian's. It was fun watching them with their friends.

Nathaniel's class won the buckets of hope contest and they got to go to the park for lunch and their egg hunt. He was saying the egg hunt would be boring but check out his face.....he doesn't look bored to me!

Pop was also able to come! He and Ella had some bonding time.

We went to my parents this weekend. It was Ella's first time to spend the night at Nana and Pop's. She did perfectly. The boys were super excited about our night egg hunt with flashlights, headlamps, and glow necklaces. This is the thing they look the most forward to at easter.

Since Ella was not big enough to run with the boys for the egg hunt she got her own special basket.

Nathaniel found his basket early and I was not able to get his picture. But they loved what the Easter Bunny brought them.

We went to church with Nat's family. It was special that we were all able to be there together. It was the first holiday without Nat's dad. 

We went to Nat's sisters for lunch. 

Our niece and nephew planned an indoor egg hunt in the basement since it was raining. The boys have always looked up to there big cousins. Ella loves Leah because she is her mini mama. They are sweet together.

Express Yourself

If you have met my girl you know that she is full of personality and boy does she know how to express herself! I never knew a baby could make this many faces. She is a little ham and loves people!

My oh so famous squishy face

You hurt my feelings please hold me face

My funny pooch lip face

Hey I need some attention over here

My fish lips

I am showing you my teethers grin

I'm looking at you eyebrow raise

I am just one HAPPY GIRL!

Little Miss Took Some Steps!

  

Little Miss is getting a little more brave! She took her first few steps yesterday! She knew what she was doing. We are so glad she saved those precious steps for us. I got it on video but I cannot seem to get it to post. Sorry! 

We had our first real photography session yesterday. She was not too cooperative but I think we got a few good ones. This is after we came home and she was so done being in her dressy clothes.

One Month Home

Our girlie has been home one month! We cannot believe it. It has definitely had a lot going on since she has been home but she has done so well. She is AMAZING!

We had our fist post placement visit this week and it went really well. Our social worker seemed to think her adjustment was best case scenario. We are so proud of her! She is sleeping through the night. She is very easy going and saying mama, dada, baby, ball, uh oh, and nana. She is almost walking!

Wow! We would have really missed out if we had not followed our hearts!

We think she adopted us!

The Zoo

The sweetest part about this picture is that I did not ask them to do this. 

We had a perfect day to go to the zoo. The Miller's joined us and we are truly blessed to have them as friends. My sister in law and Carson also joined us for a fun day.

Ella loves her Aunt Kerry!

The boys never liked being in a stroller but I am thankful that Ella does. Love these three little monkeys!

Fun Times!

Ella and Nolan love popsicles!

We went to Monkey Joe's

Can you tell they adore their sister!

Nathaniel came running up to me and gave Ella a big kiss on the cheek and whispered in my ear, "I love her so much! Nolan says, "Thank you for going to Torea (Korea) to get my baby sister."

We had fun swimming today! I couldn't wait to see Ella in her swimsuit!

Ella loved the water! She splashed and splashed!

My no fear cannonball boy!

I am loving being off work and spending a lot of time with all three of them on Nathaniel's spring break.
