My photo
I'm married to my best friend, who happens to be a police officer and an amazing Handy Man, and together we have adopted 3 beautiful girls out of Foster Care. I'm enjoying the path God has sent us down. It's an extraordinary path of Infertility, Foster Care and Adoption. It hasn't always been easy, but at each milestone we look back and know it has always been worth it!

{Edwin} Officer For A Day

We couldn't find Edwin when we woke up this morning. 
We had to stop the search so Hannah could get to school on time. 

Turns out, Edwin was waiting in the Police Car to help Daddy take Hannah to school! 

That Sneaky Edwin!!

Hannah ran in the house to get me when she found him!
She was so excited she couldn't even get the words out!
It was the cutest thing ever!

Officer Edwin borrowed one our ornaments to use as his hat.

{Edwin} Visits The Park

We went to the park to play with some friends this morning. While we were there, Edwin magically showed up with some chocolate milk and Snowballs (powdered donut holes)!

and Edwin

Hannah was so excited to see Edwin. 

Pretty

Sisters!
(I was holding up a Snowball to get Katie Grace to look at the camera.
That didn't help, because then she was just reaching for it!)


Thank you for the treat, Edwin! We love you!

{Edwin} Arrives

A couple of weeks ago Hannah wrote to Santa and asked him to send her an Elf through the Christmas season. The Elf will report to Santa every night and let him know if she was naughty or nice. 
We named our Elf, Edwin. 

He arrived on our doorstep last night with some new Christmas Pajamas for the girls. 

Daddy put Edwin on the mantel so he could watch us decorate the tree.

Edwin was mischievous last night after reporting to Santa.
This is how we found him this morning!

I cannot express how excited they were!

Hannah was big stuff standing on the ladder. 

Katie Grace helped un-decorate the tree!

Hannah put the star on top!




I'm not sure who was more excited, Daddy or Hannah!




Katie Grace was all about taking the ornaments OFF the tree! 




It was a fun night for sure!
