Jacob and Chloe are truly best buddies. I love watching them play and giggle and grow up together. They are 7 months apart and I love that they are so close in age. We went to the book store this week, we haven't been this year. They loved choosing a few books. Jacob loves to read his books to Allie, its so sweet. Caitlyn still is only interested in Good Night Moon. Her favorite book and the only one she wants to read. When Jacob and Chloe came home they really slept very well and loved their cribs. Caitlyn was a bit older and it took a little time for her to feel secure in her crib. One thing I would do is read Good Night Moon and lay her down and then all through the night she would call or cry out for the first yr home, I would go in and comfort her by saying the words of the story softly. Here is an older pic of her with her book.

Have a wonderful weekend, I think it might be too cold to venture out to a park again :( We will see. I am so ready for Spring!!!!!

Next week I want to post a couple of pics of the girls in their dancing attire. Chloe received her costumes for the upcoming recital and the Tin Man is way more darling than I imagined. The girls were upstairs playing and suddenly they brought Caitlyn down in it and she was SOO cute.:) Now that I have blogged about it I will make myself take the time to do the pics ;) I have told myself everyday to do it and gotten too busy. We are off to lunch. I leave you with a verse about friendship its on my mind heavily this week. I am so grateful for my blog friends. I look so forward to your comments and reading your blogs to see what is going on with you.

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. John 15:12-15 New King James Version Bible

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls for he has no one to help him up.Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 New King James Version

  • Even your fur-kid is adorable! What special special pictures of children who have an extraordinary relationship, no doubt because what Mom, Dad and God are doing in their lives. They will always be thankful to have others to lean on in this world, it is a gift.

    Those pics of your little one, her hair!! Her hair is gorgeous!

    It is always such a treat to come here and see the beauty that is your treasures...

  • That is so great that they are so close in age--our guys are 2 years apart which is close enough to still be best buddies--I love it:) Can't wait to see the dance outfits!!!
    Thanks for your ending on this post--I read it 3 times and just love what it says--when I went through that thing back in December, your simple e-mail to me lifted my spirits so much!! You have a great weekend too!

  • When I open your site I always feel like I am opening a photographer's portfolio.
    The pictures are breathtaking, you present them like an artist and your children are beautiful.
    If that's not enough to tickle my fancy you go and inspire my spirits with your words, I am so delighted evertime I visit.
    Thank you.

  • Beautiful verse! I am so grateful for YOU!!

    I thought you did such a great job with your son's photos and the 'boy' surrounds.

    We read Good night moon too but the one that I thought I'd die if i had to read one more time (even though i loved it) was "are you my Mother?"

  • Such breathtaking photos! I can see the special bond between your son and daughter. They are so gorgeous.

    I definitely cannot wait to see the dance outfits!!!

  • I always love to read about Jacob and Chloe's relationship because it is how I would dream my little girls to be. I am watching them blossom into best friends and it is as precious as the pictures of your two best buddies.

  • I love the pictures of Jacob & Chloe - your Gorgeous Guatemalans!! What a blessing to have them so close in age. We went through our Good Night Moon phase too! I couldn't wait until that kid could read something else!!! But the book IS a classic:)

  • I am just so taken with Jacob. He is just so handsome. The girls are beautiful too....I think it is his eyes.....they capture my attention in every picture.

    Sophia's favorite book was GNM for a long time as well. Reading is so good for the children.

    You have a wonderful weekend....I am so hoping if Gwen has a blogger party in TN this summer that you will be able to attend. I would really enjoy meeting you. ;)

    Take care,

  • Total sweetness, as always!
    I didn't realize Chloe and Jacob were only 7 months apart - that is incredible! Their love for each other is so obvious.

    Also adore the older pics of Caitlyn...what a doll baby.

    And I am also thankful for your sweet friendship.

  • great Bible verses.
    Good night moon is the favorite around our house right now. That is so cool that brother and sister are so close in age.

  • Cute pictures! I loved the verse, thanks for sharing.

    Goodnight Moon is such a neat book. Malia loves it too and it is one that she picks out often to read before bed!

  • Love your pictures. I came across your blog from another blog. Your blog is great! I was reading about adoption and you talking about the awareness of your children being adopted. I birthed my two boys but my husband is Korean and I get asked lots if I adopted my kids when I am out alone with them. Anyway I just wanted to share that! Have a great and blessed WEEK! Your children are beautiful!

  • A simply beautiful post--not just because of your amazing pictures but also (and especially) because of your thoughts and the verses you shared.

    Hugs,

  • Awww Connie you are always so inspiring! I love the scripture you shared.

    Jacob's eyes are so incredibly beautiful. I get lost in them.

    You know, I had a great time with Debbie but I was actually quite ill (stomach bug--no food since Thursday night). Unfortuantely, I was too sick to learn much. I'll e-mail you soon.
