Softball Season...

Softball season has started. We had our opening season game on Saturday in the pouring down rain. All the girls did a great job. I was proud of all of them. I did not get many pictures since it rained the whole time. So tonight the girls had another game and again they did great! It's amazing how much they have improved since last year. I always enjoyed playing softball so I am so glad the girls are having fun and wanting to play.

The above picture is our little Miss Emma playing catcher again this year. She loves being the catcher!
Wow Miss Gracie you sure have improved on your hitting. She had two very nice hits this evening. Way to Go!!! Gracie is playing second base this year. I didn't get a picture of her tonight. So hopefully next week. I was pretty busy chasing little man around. He is soooo busy and fast!

Miss Emma batting. She also had two nice hits this evening. Way to Go!!!

Miss Gracie and Miss Emma
We love you and we are so proud of both of you!

Happy Gotcha Day!!!

Today is our Gotcha Day one year ago today...
We Gotcha, Silas!
We LOVE you very, very, very much and we are so HAPPY you are part of our family. You are a WONDERFUL son and brother!
We are so PROUD of you!!!
This is us seeing Silas for the first time.
Silas' Gotcha Day 2009
Silas' one year Gotcha Day 2010

We had a wonderful day! The girls were busy with activities after school so we just ordered pizza (Silas' favorite) and then we decorated in Ethiopian colors and had cupcakes for dessert.


Silas fell asleep before he could eat his dessert. Poor boy... he left the best part!
It is so hard to believe it's been one year! I can't imagine not having Silas in our lives. He is such a blessing and he has changed us all forever. We are so glad God lead us on this wonderful journey. We love you Silas and we hope you had a wonderful Gotcha Day!
