Locks of Love

During the month of March (yes, I'm still trying to get caught up), Sadie got TEN INCHES cut off her hair for Locks of Love.

There is a ten year old girl named Krista who lives in our neighborhood and goes to Sadie's school that has cancer and has lost her hair.... this made Sadie so sad. She came to me and said ,"Mama, I want to give her my hair". So although we weren't able to donate the hair directly to Krista, we were able to send it off to support her cause.

Sadie has such a sweet and tender heart and we are so proud of her.

BABY UPDATE

My mom just called and told me that Erik and Aubrey had their ultrasound and they're having....... (you guessed it!).....a GIRL!! We are so thrilled for them!! That will make three new nieces is one year!

BABIES, BABIES, AND MORE BABIES

We've had lots of new additions to our family this year!!! John's brother Randy and his wife Suzanne had a baby girl, Kathryn Faye, this month. John's brother Kyle and his wife Kim, and brothers Beckett and Adley, welcomed little Tess Riley into their family too!

Our good friends, the Waite's, had a baby girl, Abigail Rose. Janet and Steve from our Journey Group found out that they are having a girl. Tara and Dan from Wisconsin are having TWINS!! They get a girl too...... and a boy!!!

My brother Erik and his wife Aubrey and daughter Natalie are expecting in September. Maybe a girl??? It seems to be in the water. We'll see!!

Of course, being who we are, we like to "go through the narrow gate" and are awaiting the arrival of our new little boy!!

We had the great opportunity to see one of our new little neices when we travelled to New Jersey at the end of the month..... Here is a picture of sweet little Kathryn Faye

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM!!

On March 1st we celebrated Samuel's 4th birthday. It was a hard day for me, knowing that he was in an orphanage so far away, but we look forward with expectant anticipation to his 5th birthday when we can have a big party and be all together!

What's Going On?

Hi Everyone,

I apologize for being WAY BEHIND on keeping you updated with family news. In fact, I'm going to go ahead and attempt to catch up! I'll start with going way back to March, and hope to get caught up before the end of April. For those of you who subscribe, there will be multiple posts and it will be easier if you come to the website to read them all. xoxo ~K
