Birthday boys

The two most important men in my life shared a birthday today. How awesome it was to give my husband a little boy two years ago to the day on his birthday. Won't be topped not now not ever! Love you boys!

and yes...they both have black marks on their faces! : ) It's Halloween you know!

all about Maddox

My sweet little boy turned 2 today! How can this be I ask myself!? But he is sooo TWO!

1. He's VERY independent

2. He can throw one good stomping fit

3. He sleeps in a big boy bed

4. His favorite words are, NO! NOPE! MINE!

5. He can tell me he loves me and hit me at the same time

6. He's all about the motorcycles and trucks!

Having a little boy after two girls has been such a BIG difference, but we are so blessed to have this fun loving strong willed little boy in our lives. Happy birthday my sweet boy!

God is good

Very early this morning Adam received a phone call telling him that he was moving on to the final interview for a pharmaceutical company. This was a huge surprise to us. How good is God to allow us to hear this news first thing instead of wondering all day long. Adam also has another interview this morning with a different pharmaceutical company. God does know all our needs and He has provided. We will be trusting and holding steadfast to this. Thanks so much for all your prayers!

America World Adption Seminar

So we went to our first seminar on adoption today. It was through America World Adoption. It was great to hear first hand stories from others who have gone through the adoption process and also fun to see their sweet children. Now we just need God to do the rest! : ) Please pray that my husband will find a job soon. It's so frustrating for me personally to feel this calling from God and not being able to move forward on it. I do realize that since He gave me the calling that He can indeed provide for that calling, but I'm human so I just feel frustrated right now! And a little helpless as well.

a little late

So I'm a little late with this posting...but better late than never, right?! My oldest turned 7 this year and enjoyed about a month's worth of celebrating! I didn't want to overlook it because she is such a sweet and special girl to us!

Why I love this...

I so look forward to this time of year with the changing leaves, a trip to the pumpkin farm, picking out Halloween costumes, and the Neely girls annual trip to Keystone. We enjoyed lots of laughter, talking, eating too much, movie watching, singing in the car, and staying up way too late! It's just one of the reason's I love this time of year!
