A Request of Friends and Family

Today I learned about a young family that needs your thoughts and prayers. The couple (Sandy and Dennis) adopted through an Atlanta based agency and has been in China these past two weeks. They were there to adopt their first child, Hannah, who was a waiting child (special needs). While there, Dennis went into a diabetic coma and passed away. Although the adoption was complete (or complete enough) and Sandy is bringing their new daughter home, I cannot imagine the pain and difficult times that lay ahead for her and the rest of her family. Please pray for Hannah and her family, whatever your faith. It is stressful when bringing home a newly adopted child...I can't even fathom doing it under these circumstances.

Life with "Miss Independence"!



As you can tell, Lillie knows what she likes and how she likes it! She is a HUGE fan of Popsicles, and loves her rocker. She also has become quite a fan of doing things herself...including changing her clothes. She took off her shirt tonight, then found the yellow t-shirt and put it on without help. So what if it is inside out AND backward (notice the tag) we still did it ourself!

Dinner with Allie and Ashley


My cousin Allison came in for a visit and Lillie loved spending time with her! We went over to our friend Ashley's house for dinner Thursday night and between dancing, doing hair and bonding with Shelby the dog, Lillie had a fabulous time. I am sure you can tell by the pictures!

Halloween Activities











Lillie dressed up as Mulan this year! She wore her costume to the church Halloween party and out trick-or-treating with her friend Wyatt. Here are a few pictures!

Lillie the Adventurer!


Lillie had a wonderful visit with family in Glasgow about 2 weeks ago. One of the highlights for her was riding horses with Caroline. She loved it, and would cry to get back on each time she got down. She also loved visiting with the barn cats!
