First time we saw your face 2 year anniversary

Can you believe it's been 2 years since we first laid eyes on our sweet referral photo of Jolie Elise FanWen? I remember going to bed on the 19th  knowing that we could possibly be matched by morning. Karl handed me the lap top the morning of the 20th and I scrolled the emails and found one from our agency "POSSIBLE MATCH" we opened it and saw 3 cute little photos. We immediately read the referral pages, and sent the YES email back  within moments. We then preceded with the next steps of letter of intent and then our journey became very real...SO to celebrate the event I grabbed the referral photo and told Jolie it was time to make a photo with the very first photo I saw of her. I said, "Look how much you've grown!" She says, Now I have hair!!! She is very proud that she can now have pony tails like Karlie...

What a cute first photo for us to see 

See how much she has grown, especially her hair? There is one other photo of her with a crew cut, so her hair is not actually shown the shortest it's been.

Happy Referral Day to us...So glad that GOD allows us the wonderful awesome opportunity to be your parents, sweet girl!

Team Revolution

Shek's soccer team is called Revolution and coached by the Chapman family. It's been an awesome season, and the kids are learning a lot and working together as a team and are winning a few games. It's great. I snapped this photo during the team photo shoot.

IT's my turn

At Soccer practice the other day, Karlie said, It's my turn to be on the blog because the last few times it's been about Shek. SO I told her that I had to have photos, so I started snapping photos. SO now it's Karlie's turn.

It's my turn next, mom.

 Smilin' with shades

This is my favorite!

Karlie carries a BIG purse...inside she has E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. in it. She has snacks, and even water, deo, makeup, you know it she's got it. Comes in handy when we get hungry.

She's probably laughing at me, not with me. but at me. My family tends to laugh at me quite a bit...

Sweetie

My sweetie is super patient.

Today, he spent the afternoon drilling Shek's spelling words...if he wasn't already patient, he would have developed it today.  We spent most of yesterday afternoon cleaning the house, we both looked at each other and said, a clean house makes me feel so happy. If he wasn't already patient, he would have developed it quickly because the house is not always tidy.

 I am thanking GOD for sending my sweetie to me all those years ago. Karl you're the best, thanks for being mine, being patient, loving and easy going. WE all love you!
