What gifts we have been given.





Man do I love our girls! God has been so good to us and we are so thankful for these little sweeties. I try to never take them for granted as I know there are so many out there that can not have children or are struggling to have their own. I don't want a day to go by that I don't thank the Lord for the blessing that they are to us!

They are growing entirely too fast for my liking. I am trying to soak every. single. bit of Alyssa Lauren in this summer. Kindergarten is coming on like a freight train and I can not believe it! It really has flown by so fast!

She is one special girl.
She loves to:
Sing
Swim
Dance
Get her nails done!:)
Go to breakfast on Saturday mornings. I do too!!:)
Has a WILD imagination and loves to play pretend.
Color and draw pictures.
Write and do math!
She is very funny.
She acts Just.Like.Me!! :)
She can be very outgoing...yet very shy.
She LOVES her sister and comes RUNNING when she is hurt or crying.
She loves her best friend Maddie. She and Maddie are TIGHT! It really is so sweet!:)
She would eat chick fil a or Geno's pizza everyday. literally!
She can cry at the drop of a hat!! Never. Seen. Anything. Like. It!!
She is loyal.
She is kind hearted.
She has mercy.
She is loving.
She is Smart.
She is a leader.
She loves to learn.
She loves Jesus.
She has a heart for Haiti and the orphans.
She cares for others.
She is learning what it means to "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves” Philippians 2:3.

I could go on and on and on about this kid. She is great. She is a blessing. She is so precious and I love her more and more every day! We are so proud of her and we KNOW God has amazing plans for this little girl. We pray we will always show her what Jesus looks like and lead her in the direction of Him! What a privilege we have to raise her up in Christ...But what a task it is. May we be found faithful!

We love you sweet Alyssa!

She's such a beautiful, sweet, funny little munchkin. Love her so much and couldn't be prouder of her. Makes me cry that she's starting kindergarten. Can't wait to see her and Bella Grace again asap.
