Gotchas and Birthdays

May 30th was Autumn's Gotcha day. It was the first time the girls did not want to celebrate Autumn's Gotcha and Marah's birthday on the same day like we usually do. They are growing up:( Every year on that day I think about our plane trip home and the fact that I never knew a baby could scream for 5 hours straight!! She is a joy in our lives.


June 1st was Marah's birthday. She had the whole day planned out from dinner to decorations and party games. She is a very funny girl who says random things that make me want to be completely in her head just for a day!


One of the games Marah had planned was musical chairs. The boys were kind enough to play all her games with us. In our version of musical chairs everyone ends up trying to sit on the same chair at the end so no one feels left out. Hayden was mortified that he had to sit on Ryker's lap!



On a more serious note we could use some prayers. Ryker has a great opportunity for a fresh start in his life and I am asking for prayers that he will see this and take the actions he needs to. It has been so hard as his mother to watch him these last few years and this chance will not come around again. We appreciate any and all positive thoughts you can send our way!
