Hope turned 4 on the 28th and Love turned 2 on the 31st. Who would have guessed our two youngest girls would share not only the same birthday month but birthday week? It was a lot of fun. We had hot dogs, smoked sausages, and brats and of course cake and ice cream. This time we tried that Life Savers rainbow sherbet too(per Hope's request)...that stuff is yummy!! We had a small family party...even a small one is big around here though...we are so fortunate to have so many family members so near by...a few were missed (you know who you are)but we will see them soon! The girls are now going to be dressed to the nines. Oh, and the swing set and play house given early are still big hits with all the kiddos. The girls got some money and gift cards too...yippee...shopping :)
Our little Hope has grown up so much this past year. I miss her being little. She has been an awesome big sister and has such a joyful heart...sometimes to the point of me actually saying..."quit laughing". Once she gets started...she has such a hard time stopping. But, I love her laugh. She has recently added one that sounds much like Arnold Horseshack. It is quite a laugh...and Love has caught on...oh my! She amazes me. She is bright, loving, fun, exciting and full of energy!
And Love, well, this very well may have been her first celebrated birthday...so we tried to do it up for her. She has been such an easy going, laid back, happy, affectionate and fun loving child. I can't wait to see what the next year holds for her. She is just beginning to say some words although I know she understands far more than she can communicate.
To say we have been blessed would be an understatement....I can't believe our two youngest are now 2 and 4...my how time flies...tear...sniff...
Sugar Momma & Big Daddy ~ Our marriage has surpassed all expectations, enjoying our life together - both the challenges and the opportunities, loving each other more every single day, loving the honor of raising up four of the most fabulous kids on Earth...of course we may be a tad biased :) who also consider bringing our children up in the Lord our most important job as parents...a task we do not take lightly.
Hunter ~ Likes to hunt, fish, camp and be outdoors. Can skate like a rock star :)
Faith ~ Likes shopping,reading and most importantly...socializing!! Soccer is totally her thang :)
Hope ~ Our Shangrao (Jiangxi) Sweetheart ~ loves soccer, being outdoors, hunting, fishing and anything that requires massive amounts of energy. Would love nothing more than being a Superhero when she grows up :)
Love ~ Our Huangmei (Hubei) Heart Melter ~ loves being outdoors, playing in the sand or on the swingset, caring for her babydolls, vacuuming, building blocks, drawing, and all things that are not a nap. Quite possibly the sweetest child ev-ah!!
Living the abundant life ~ loving my God, my "exotic" man, our 4 beautiful children, and trying to be the wife and mom I was called to be. Our greatest blessings are our four amazing children - our son and oldest child "Hunter", our oldest daughter "Faith", our middle daughter "Hope" and our youngest daughter and newest addition "Love". This blog serves as my way of documenting the ins and outs of our day to day life.
