Life through the eyes of Sparkles....



Things are finally starting to slow down...I think...


.

Wow, there have been some crazy things happening in my life lately.  Since everyone is in bed, I figured that it was a good time to sit down and write up a post.   Ahhhh, so where in the world do I begin?  Ok, I know the last time I told you all about Hayden's case it wasn't looking like we were going to be able to adopt him.  His mom was messing around with the case and basically making a big mess out of things.  Well, we kept praying for a miracle, and by God's grace things changed drastically in the course of one court hearing.  Now, without a doubt, we will be adopting Hayden!  I honestly couldn't have imagined it being any other way.  I believe Hayden was truly was meant to be with our family and he has been such a blessing to us.  We all just love him to death.

Doesn't he have the most awesome hair!?  Awww, he's just so adorable...I wish you could see more than just the back of his head.

Now, here is the crazy thing...last week our family grew by two!  Yep, two new foster/adoptive placements!  Last Friday my new little sister, who is six, came to live with us.  We have had visits with her for the past month and we were so excited to finally have her with us!  She is just an absolutely gorgeous girl.  She has silky, blonde hair and beautiful, big, brown eyes.  She's just plain beautiful, I wish I could show everyone a picture.                      

Then, that same day we also recieved our second little girl.  She is a beautiful, month old little preemie!  We have also been visiting her in the hospital for the past month and she is just precious!  I honestly don't know how it happens, but we just keep getting the most gorgeous kids.  The exciting thing is, we will most likely be adopting both of these little girls.  Both their cases look more than promising for adoption.  This means that our family has now grown to 10!!!  Yes, we are nuts...but in a good way! 

Ok, so there is just a little update on what's going on right now in my family.  I know I haven't been posting at all, but once things slow down a bit, I fully intend on posting more regularly.  I also haven't commented in the past month or so, but hopefull I'll get around to commenting some of you soon. 

Well, I better go to bed, it's getting late!  Hope you all are having a great week and if i'm not able to post before next week, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Jenna,

Congregations!! That is so wondeful. I figured that was why you were so busy and weren't able to blog or anything. Too bad we can't see there picstures. They both sound so cute! Your family is catching up to us, jut one more to go, LOL!

That picture of you and your brother is SO cute. It is a wondeful picture to scrapbook. Do you scrapbook? If not, it is so much fun!

I will be praying for all of you! Have a great day and God bless!

That's great!! Your family is growing by leaps and bounds... your parents must be really amazing!

Hayden's hair is pretty groovy... curly on the top and wispy on the sides. I think he has just started a new style!

It's good to hear from you!

Congrats! It is so great that you all got to adopt some! That is great...

We will be praying about the court case. I'm sure God will work everything out.
