Fun at Cape Cod

How cute does Alex look? He loved the water and had a great time. His smile was on his sweet face for the entire time we were at the Cape.

Hugs and kisses,

Reflection on the Summer

The summer was great with you guys. The pictures above show a few of my favorite times with you this summer. It would take more room than AOL offers me to post every picture that is my "favorite." Papa and I would never have had so much fun this summer without you. I could just go on and on forever:~)
Hugs and kisses,

Emily's New Bed

Emily got her big girl's bed for her fourth birthday. She is so excited to have a big bed like Sissy Kara. I just love her room - it is so bright and cheery. It's not totally decorated yet. Mommy said they have to wait a bit to see if that is where the bed will stay. Oh, it also has a pull out where another person can sleep. Wait till those sleepovers start!

Hugs and kisses,

There was a time Papa and I did not think we would be blessed with the joy of sharing our life and love with grandchildren. Little did we know God had a plan for our family. He chose four special babies from half way around the world to be loved and cherished by our daughters, their husbands and us, their Nana and Papa. This blog is being written to remind our grandchildren of special times their Nana and Papa shared in their lives. It begins with Kristen’s and Corey's journals to the adoptions of their daughters, Kara Michelle from Russia and Emily Xian from China. I did not include the journals of Michelle’s and Don’s sons, Zachary Ryan and Alexander Peter from Karaganda, Kazakhstan, as their parents gifted us with bound books of their long journeys to their sons, which we cherish. In 2007 God surprised us. Kristen and Corey became pregnant with their third daughter. Our sweet girl, Amanda Lynn, became our Guardian Angel when she was born into Heaven January 16, 2008. Although not of this world, our granddaughter Amanda will live in our hearts forever. I hope you will follow my blog and share in the memories made with our grandchildren. As my Dad always said, “It is all about memories.” And truly, it is.
