Camryn's Puppet Show

Camryn had a Puppet Show at preschool.  She was Baby Bear in the play Goldilocks and the Three Bears:

Jason Coaches Soccer


Jason finally signed up for what he was born to do - coach a soccer team!  Taylor's coach in the fall was so bad, it finally motivated him to step up and coach!  Loved watching him lead our girls on the field, he did such a great job with all of the girls on the team.  

Camryn was awesome this season and did great hanging on the sidelines with me:

Happy Gotcha Day for Sullivan

My sweet friend Jen has been fostering over the last two years.  On August 4th, she got a call from a case worker that there was a safe-haven baby at the hospital that needed a home.  Jen raised baby Sullivan over the next 6 months and on February 27th, she was able to adopt him into her home forever!  I loved being able to celebrate his "gotcha day"!

The judge surprised Jen and asked her to share why she wanted to be Sullivan's mommy.  This really choked her up and we were all in tears. 

Jen had a "gotch day" celebration at her house that night:
Was able to catch up with friends from our Singles Group days
