Miscellaneous Family Pics!

I realized I had a bunch of pictures on my phone!  Here they are in no particular order.

We always have time (and room in our tummies) for some ice cream!

Justin is hard at work with two computers.  One is actually his school computer that he has to bring back and forth every day (h-e-a-v-y backpack!) and the other is his fun computer that use to be Daddy's.  

Papa and sweet Tessa.  And I couldn't decide which one to put in, so I'm putting in both!

It was my dad's birthday last week, so the kids sent him a fun greeting.  Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Cute little baby feet.

Uncle Taylor and Tessa.

Sammie is a very safe dog when riding in the car.

Caylie says, "Mom, I hold this?"  Hee hee.  Tessa looks very big in this picture!  

Keelan is a sharp-dressed man at school.

Nana and sweet baby.  I could hold her and kiss her and and look at her and smell her all day.  :)

Great-Grandma and Grandpa Meet Tessa

My parents are here from Indiana for the next few days.  They got to meet sweet Tessa last night.  

Sweet 'lil baby!

I will post more pictures of their visit!

Follow Along on a Journey to China!

Our good friends the Petersons are traveling to China TODAY for the adoption of their 10-year-old daughter in Hunan Province!  We are so very happy and excited for them!  Please follow along on their blog, as and you do, please be praying for them as they meet their sweet girl and begin the process of becoming family to her.  And pray especially for her heart, as well, as she will be leaving all she knows - a much more difficult prospect at her age than it was for Caylie.  Please pray that their hearts would be knit to each other by the Spirit of God, who is the One who orchestrated these events.

Today's Baby Photo Session

So we were having a snuggle, Tessa and I, and I just kept snapping shots with my phone.  I did not see her all weekend because I had a stupid cold, so I had to make up for it.  :)

Sweet 'lil face.

Why do you keep clicking that thing?

I love the back of her little head.

A cute little smile.  :)

Tessa and Some Other Stuff.

Nah, just kiddin'.  They're all of Tessa.  Hee hee.  
And they're all taken by Brad and Brittany, because I had a cold all weekend and did NOT get to see her.  Or hold her.  Or snuggle her!

Sigh.

But anyway.  Here is Sweet Face Baby Girl.
