Soccer Mama x3

This is what my Saturdays have become.....Soccer games x3! I complain, but I really do love it! You can find every Saturday, now through October cheering on my kiddos!

Our Webelo

Jack has been looking forward to joining Cub Scouts. He is excited to be a new Webelo. He had a blast at his first pack meeting last night and I was able to snap this cute photo.

I love a man in uniform!

Look who's playing soccer

Lucy has watched her brother and sister play soccer for years and finally....she gets to play!

She was beyond excited last week to have her 1st practice. After, practice she came home and was showing all of us her "mad soccer skills" until it was time for bed.

She played her 1st game on Saturday and loved it! We are excited to have all 3 kids in soccer this season. Saturdays will be fun, but crazy now through October.

Happy Referral Day....6 years!

Six years ago today we got a call from Christine at CCAI...."would you like to see a picture of your daughter?"

It was our referral. We had waited just short of a year to finally see a picture of our daughter and we were overcome with emotion.

I had been following the "rumors" and had an inkling that this was THE DAY. I was having a danish and some tea with a neighbor while pacing the floor, waiting for the phone to ring. Just before 11 am we got the call.

I immediately called Jeff at work and told him to meet me at CCAI as fast as he could.....luckily we only live a short drive away.

Christine told us everything we needed to know about She Ya He and then showed us her photo. I couldn't believe it....finally, our baby girl! I looked at those brown eyes and that sweet little pout and my heart melted. My first thought was, oh my gosh, she looks like my mom. :)

She Ya He ended up being Miss Luciana Yahe and after 6 years she can still get to me with that little pout!!!

My Little Fashionista

This is my Sweet Lucy! Lucy was born in hearts in 2004 and we have been blessed beyond measure. Lucy is sweet, funny, smart and (as you can see) cute as can be! She, unlike her brother and sister will still let me take photos, lots of photos of her. She loves to pose for the camera and loves fashion. She wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up. Every time we're at the mall she will point out clothes for me and say, "mommy, that would be so pretty on you." I love my little fashionista!!!
