Dakota makes the most important decision of her life...

Today Dakota was baptized, having made her decision to follow Jesus a few weeks ago! She was really excited though a little nervous this morning and she did so well considering the heater for the water was out and it was rather cold! We are incredibly proud of her in making this decision on her own and starting the beginning of her journey in Christ! 

But Jesus said, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are like these children." Matthew 19:14.

Shiloh Turns Four!!!

Shiloh turned 4 on 11-11-11...how cool is that? She was so excited about having a birthday and has been counting down the days! She thought it was taking much too long. She had cupcakes with her friends at daycare at Pre-K 3 on Friday and she had a party with friend and family at home on Saturday! Then we spent the evening at Monkey Joe's jumping and playing. So a year and four months since we brought Shiloh home and she has made so much progress with her growth and speech...she is an amazing little girl. She is recognizing letters and numbers and is writing her name pretty good. She is incredibly smart, figuring things out to our amazement. Recently she decided to cut her hair and hid the hair in her closet and the sissors under her bed. When Chuck found the hair and showed her she said it was Dakota's hair. (Dakota has blond hair...) We finally got the truth out of her. We have also found that when there is something she wants or that is special to her, she hides it under her dressor. We were missing Dakota's DS game for several weeks and that is where we found it. She is pretty sneaky, but we sure have a good time with her!

Watermelon Pizza Anyone?

Shiloh saw on television some children making watermelon pizza so we had to have some at home, our watermelon cut in the shape of a small pizza for each person...what fun!

Halloween fun..of Pirates, Princesses and the Midnight Cowboy???
