This is our Maryn to a tee.  Leave her alone for even a second and one must be prepared for what she may get into!  

 Maddox spends her spare time making cards for Chapman....this is one of my favorites.  If you look real close, there is a little baby bundled up on the left side of the card.  This is Chapman, per Maddox's drawing.  The perfect part?  Maddox even made her hair stick up....the pictures that we have all show that our girl has a head full of hair that the nannies have put into a ponytail that sticks straight up on her head!

 It is Roar season....

 our Snow Crystal....

 our Pony.....

 and our sweet Cherub.....

 and in the midst of Roar season, there is Cotillion season....

 Ryan is Father Christmas this year in the Roar....the girls are so excited that their daddy will be on stage with them!

 And we are getting back in the saddle again with swim team conditioning....Maddox has no shame in telling anyone who asks just how fast she is!

 And two of these three girls celebrated Gotcha Days recently!  Maddox has been home for 5 years and MK has been home for 8!  I love their birth mothers for saying yes to life and I LOVE that we get to be their family to love them forever!  

 And our little buddy Noah is HOME!  We were thrilled to have a bit of time with him and visit him in his new home!  He is doing fabulous!

 The children all jumped in as if they had seen each other yesterday!

 And these moments with my family are some of my favorites....Spring has sprung and our back porch is open once again for outside dining!  It does a momma's heart good to sit with her family around the dinner table and just talk about their days!

My sweet Maryn.  She was my little messenger pal last week as we made our way to the courthouse to have some documents looked over and approved for our adoption.  She had no idea that the box she was carrying held every.single.document to enable us to bring home her baby sister!  What a big helper she was!
