FOREVER family!

This has been an amazing time in our lives and thank you all for sharing it with us! Ana's story is a very special one and we thank God everyday for her! This is the end of this chapter...see you in Korea!

FINALLY in Ohio!

First stop...SKYLINE! We are here safe and sound. Marc leaves in the morning for Korea and Ana, the cats, and I will be here until Marc can get it set up for us to be there. We are hoping to be together by Easter at the latest!

On the Road Again!

These are all our kids sleeping! Tom and Pooks were just waking up and Ana's hair was too funny! We had a basket of toys for Ana to play with and this day I swear she had EVERY toy out and on her...at one time I turned around and she was buried in her toys...I could barely see her!

Lewisville Visit

This is my sister...Aunt Erin! We were only able to be with her and her family for 2 days...but I will be back in October to be with her when her baby is due! Congratulations again Erin and Shawn!

This is Aunt Erin and Uncle Shawn!

This is Kaitlyn (Shawn's daughter), my Aunt Janet, Banana, Me, and Erin!

Bill and Vicki Haines were gracious enough to let us stay with them. They have a 3 year old granddaughter that Ana got to play with one morning! Ana loved their puppies, Bentley and Sully...however, Ana called them "Lady and Tramp". ANOTHER favorite of Ana's right now.

Watching Movies

This is Pooks and Ana seriously watching "The Fox and the Hound". Pooks really seemed intrested too! SOOOO funny!

Fock n Hound

The Fox and the Hound is Ana's favorite new movie. However, she has a hard time saying the word "Fox." We die laughing everytime...it never gets old.

Salado Visit

This is Ana's Grandad! My dad lives in Salado now and he and his wife have built a house and love it there. Dad and Lynn had thoughtful gifts for Ana and made my favorite meals! It was a great visit! This is Grandad and Ana bonding over M&Ms...good way to win Ana over quickly! :)

Grandad, Lynn and Ana. They got her that little bee purse...she loves it!


I love this picture! Thanks for everything!



This is Sonia and Glynn Decoteau! They are old Army friends of my parents and live about 15 minutes away from my dad. We have had lots of good times with them and it was so special to introduce them the Ana!

Road Trip Drama!

Pooks and Ana have become much closer this trip! She will go sit on Ana and Ana will pet her for hours. Pooks is bigger than Ana's car seat and hogs up the entire space but Ana is so sweet and didn't seem to care.

It's crazy how it goes from calmness to MASS CHAOS in less than two seconds. Ana and Pooks were enjoying their moment when Tom comes up and is YELLING for no good reason and blocks Ana's DVD player so then Ana starts yelling at Tom to move...THEN Pooks starts to stand up and gets restless all over Ana and Ana yelled more! Yes..I was laughing and taking pictures the entire time. I'm a good mom! Fun times on our road trip through Texas!

Austin Visit

It was so good to see The Edwards again! My Aunt Brenda and Uncle Lloyd are so good to me and my family. My cousins, Tyler and Brian pretty much played with Ana for us the whole time! Miss you all and I wish we could have had a longer visit! BUT, I'll see you in October. My cousin, Kristin and her boyfriend Jason came over to Brenda and Lloyd's for dinner. Jason helped me with a computer issue so I could continue to blog...THANKS AGAIN JASON...such a nice guy! And Kristin is such a beautiful lady inside and out and I ALWAYS enjoy our talks!

Houston Visit

Most of my sorority sisters live in Houston. It had been almost two years since I had seen them! It was so fun to catch up and enjoy our children and husbands together...BOY have things changed since the Kappa Delta house at Sam Houston State University!

We all have GIRLS except for ONE boy! These are all our KD legacies!

Felicia is one of my best friends from college! Ana and I will be back from Korea for her wedding in Oct! Can't wait!
