Jon Jon's Birthday

The Big Tree at Fort Harrod

We went to Fort Harrod with my friend Rena and some of her grandchildren. The kids loved climbing the tree and Lillie loves spending time with Jacob, Claudia and Jon Jon!

Meeting Baby Brady

Lillie and I got to meet Baby Brady over fall break! We went and spent some time with my dear friend, Trisha, and her beautiful new little guy. Lillie was very gentle and it was nice to spend a little time visiting with Trisha again. Though it is hard to see his little face in these pictures, he is beautiful!

"We Not Find Him Yet?"

Lately, Lillie has lots of questions. She asks "Why?" about everything! She has also been asking about a daddy. She is very interested in family relationships and will often ask, "Where is my daddy?" or "Where is my baby brother?", both of which I have tried to answer honestly and simply. (To be honest, I had not expected to be answering these questions so quickly.)
The other day we were getting in the car and Lillie said,"We not have a daddy at our house. We not find him yet, mom?" Out of the mouths of babes!

Your right baby, we haven't found him yet!

Our 2nd Annual Jessamine Jamboree Parade

A couple of weeks ago we went with friends to the Jamboree Parade. We joined Cissie and her family, along with the Brannon family to watch the parade together. There were floats and LOTS of cars with people waiving...and lots of candy! (Lillie said the other day, "More parade mommy...Need more candy in my purse.")





One of Lillie's favorite parts of the day was getting to play with Daphne, Cissie's friend from Haiti. Daphne was one of the interpreters that Cissie and her family got to know this summer while on a mission trip to Northwest Haiti Christian Mission, and now she is now in school here in Kentucky. Lillie loved playing with her braids and even made the comment,"Your eyes like mine!" when she noticed how dark Daphne's eyes were. It was too cute!

Lillie and her Soul Mate

As I mentioned in my previos post, Lillie and Wyatt have a very special connection. What I must also say is that Wyatt's mom and dad are also special people. Wyatt was adopted from Kazakhstan and they were very helpful thruoghout my journey to Lillie. They are now on their own new adoption journey to bring home their son from Ethiopia. Their family has been such a blessing and I can only hope I can be as supportive og them. You can follow their journey @ Power of 4
