Because babies are so cute...Calea - 6 months old

They all love taking care of this sweet one when she visits.

Being carried in the traditional "Ghana" way...and she is asleep. 

Life with a baby is precious and we are sure enjoying her. Grandbabies....aahh : )

Welcome home- Our arrival Wed. nite

Together again- precious

I rearranged our home yesterday...added more leaves to our one table to fit everyone. I now need to cook with 4 crockpots, 4 very large pyrex dishes and upped my amounts to include 2 older children...budget for food is now at least 1,000 a week- includes diapers for 3 and extras if needed. I had another cookie sheet of chicken before I took the picture : ) It's a good thing I am used to cooking for such a large group....Probably one of the biggest ways I love on the family is thru food...they love to help with the preparation of it and the eating of it too. 

 Since it was so cold Wed. nite we decided not to bring our little ones to the airport but they greeted us when we got home at 11 pm.. So excited to meet Papaye and Emmanuel in person. It was a quick travel trip - We traveled 42 of 48 hrs but it was a good choice for our family. Our friend, Jamallia and her family also met us....there is a story behind how special they are to our bringing home E and P.

We are doing very well...my kids always amaze me at how well they love on and encourage one another when a new one joins our family....Papaye and Emmanuel are easy to love.

This is what we do when it is too cold outside to play in the snow- We bring it in

Happy birthday to Mya , Ava and our daddy/PawPaw

Mya and Ava turned 12 and 7 

We had a Frozen Party

Snowball games ( marshmallows )

Being gifted by the ones who love them...

Happy Birthday to Mya and Ava as well as my husband, Paul. Ava was born on her PawPaw's b-day. He gets to celebrate with 2 of his favorite loves - Mya and Ava. Of course we also had our yearly trip to Chuckie Cheese with the girls . Paw Paw just loves Chuckie Cheese you know : )

In case you are not on fb - We got great news- Our kids are coming home !

No more long distance communicating

They will be eating with us

I'll see their sweet smiles every day....

 They will be home....swimming in our pools...playing in their yard with their new siblings, fitting into their new family. We can't wait. Praising God for these 2 blessings today- Welcome home Papaye and Emmanuel !

I have an urgent Prayer Request- My son in law, Jeremiah who is a missionary in Haiti hurt his back last nite at the missions. He is in a lot of pain and discomfort . Please pray for him and for Jenn my daughter who is handling the situation and taking care of their 4 young ones as well as the mission kids. Jeremiah will need medical care as well...

Calea sure does love her fingers....

I love babies....they are pure joy ....especially my grand babies. Calea is almost 6 months and her personality is so sweet. She loves her fingers and I caught her the other day sitting on momma's lap enjoying them.
