Life through the eyes of Sparkles....
I updated...amazing, I know ;)
Posted on Aug. 6, 2008
. I don’t think anyone even visits my blog anymore, but for those of you who occasionally still do…here’s an update of what’s going on in my life ;)
I promise, I do have an excuse for not posting for several months. Life has been really crazy. There’s been so many changes in my life…family…etc. these past several months that I don’t even know where to begin. I guess I’ll start with one of the most exciting events…the adoption of our “lil fro-head” Hayden! I haven’t been able to post any “revealing” pictures of him in the past, but now that he’s officially ours, I can post as many pictures as I want, sooo…meet Hayden :)
Then finally the day we had been waiting for! Adoption Day...
I know...he's adorable :) and it's so nice that he's finally ours. On a sad note though, my 6 year-old foster sister ended up going home. I'm not supposed to say much about the case, but I'll say this much...it's pretty bad. She should have never ever gone home and the whole situation scares me. She's been home for around a month and just the other day we were able to see her and she just wasn't the same little girl. It's really heart-breaking. Please pray for her.
Then, in the next couple of weeks, we're going to be celebrating Little Miss Hannah's adoption anniversary! Oh gosh, what would we ever do without her! She truly is the sweetest, cutest, most beautiful little sister I could ever ask for :)
Our little Princess...
This is at her very first voice recital after singing "On the Good Ship Lollipop"...
Then there's Stephen, wow, what can I say...he's a wild, crazy kid! I have no idea how he turned out to be the monster he is, but it happened! Haha, we all love him though, he's sorta, kinda, really cute. :)
Haha...
Hannah and Stephen...adorable :)
Love Hannah's face in this one! hahaha
I was planning on posting more on what's going on in my life, but I've already spent so much time on this post that I'll save it for the next one. So, that was kind of an update on my family...in the next post I'll update you all on the exciting...stressful...crazy things going on in my life :)

Awww . . . Hayden is so adorable! All of your little siblings are adorable! I'm happy to hear that he is now officially a part of your family. I will be praying for your little foster sister who had to go home, that must be devastating!

JENNA! You posted!!! Yay! Congrats on the adoption of your new brother - that's exciting!
I saw on your mom's blog that you enrolled with CollegePlus! That is so awesome. I used CollegePlus for my last year of college and really enjoyed my experience with them. I hope it's going well for you so far. :-)
Happy studying!

I know it's been awhile sense you've post this, but I had to comment!
How exciting to have a new little brother! He is really cute!
On the other hand how sad about your foster sister, I don't remember much from when my parents took foster babies. We didn't have that many though, only three.
Who knows maybe things will change and you will get her back. I'll be praying!

JENNA, your back!!! YEAH!!! Sorry I didn't stop by sooner. I've been so busy myself!!
I am so happy for you! Congrats for having Hayden part of your family now. He is so cute...love that hair! All of your little siblings are adorable. Great pictures!
At the moment we foster cats sort of like fostering kids but somewhat different. I think kids would be harder :) Been very interesting...!!
Hope to hear from you soon!!

Jenna, it's so great to hear from you again!! I have been checking your and your sister's blog once in a while and missed hearing from you both.
Congratulations on adopting Hayden!!! That's so exciting. And on Hannah's adoption anniversary too. Two of my little sisters were adopted, so we celebrate "Gotcha Day" here twice a year. :-) It's always a special day.
I'll pray for the little girl who had to return home. Some kids' home situations are just so awful... it's sad. Have you been able to see her again?
Hope you're having a great weekend, and I'm looking forward to hearing about what else is going on in your life!! God bless!!!
