We had court and our re-adoption. We now finally have a Wisconsin birth certificate with his name on it!.................
The boys have been working hard at catching us some great meals! I hear Nathan even set and reeled in his fish completely on his own........
Our street has such a fun time. Lots of little fun activities they do for the kids. On cinco de mayo some of the neighbors got a pinata for the kids.....
They LOVED it. Lots of fun for all of them..
We've been doing tons of painting.......
My little artists
are hard at work!
Caleb was dedicated! Caleb LOVES glasses and during the prayer he of course caught Pastor Michael off guard and grabbed them off his face....it was very funny.......Oh and yes we are missing 2 kids in the picture. I wanted to make sure I got a picture so this was all I had available at the time :)
Summer is not summer without water and lots of it! This was the first time Caleb was in the sprinkler and it took some time but he now loves it........
At the end of May we had a party to celebrate Caleb's homecoming. Katie started off the day by helping MiMi clean and cut up the fruit.......
We rented out the park and brought along 200 water balloons......
It ended up being a beautiful sunny day and we were blessed beyond words to have family and friends there to celebrate.....
Yep that is the sweet Gibson Family
The day after Ben ran the 1/2 marathon again in Green Bay. It was so hot that about 10 min after he finished they actually canceled the race and started picking up runners. I am beyond proud of him!!!
Memorial Day weekend we got the pool up and started filling it.......
Once it was ready we had friends over for a day of swimming and pizza.....what could be better.....
Oh some smores and a camp fire!!!!!!
Here we are waiting patiently after our ice cream for the 5 min parade to start....really it is so short but we couldn't miss showing support for our veterans..........
Miss Katie graduated from preschool....oh was it hard but I didn't cry. I did though get that good old lump but I made it :) I can not believe that both her and Nathan will be gone all day next year and Caleb will be gone all morning. Wow!!! It is going to be quiet around here with only Ana. I wish I could just freeze time.....
Nathan and Katie both are in baseball and on the same team. Ben is helping coach, I LOVE how he is such an amazing and involved dad! It is so much fun to watch them each week.......
And of course you can't forget how much sleep we need after being outside ALL day!!!!! Hope you all are enjoying your summer........
Oh my gosh! Talk about a busy summer!! Looks like you're having fun, though!!
ReplyDeleterejoicing for you that caleb is doing so well and the whole family seems so bonded already! i have been enjoying following your blog and your fantastic pics too! i am so eager to know if it is still possible to obtain the information for the little baby girls you posted pics of who still need families from swallows nest and haven of hope? i was preparing to pursue a russian adoption but after much prayer and seeking, i now know that location is no longer an option. im single, have a home in montana and def interested in special needs of many different kinds, esp DS with additional needs. my email is gentletouches_mt@yahoo.com if you may be able to share some info. thank you!
