We started this blog as a way to update our family and friends on our preemie, Parker. After Parker passed away, Lance and I decided that it was important to continue the blog as a family journal.

The girls loved every min but my favorite part is sorting all of their candy into groups. must be the ocd organizational craziness in me! Our little pirate scared all the bad things away and our police officer kept everything under control! Thanks girls for a fun season. love you! Friday, October 22, 2010.

In Life, Love, and the Journey to Adopt. Friday, October 31, 2014. I love dressing up for Halloween and I am so grateful Travis is willing to wear whatever costume I come up with. We went with a Dr Seuss theme this year and I think it turned out really cute. Travis and I were Thing 1 and Thing 2, Leah was the peacock and Kenzie was the gold fish in a bowl. Travis and I went to a party at our friends house and we loved the display of food that they had. Travis, Michelle, Leah, and Kenzie.

When Mathis came to me and told me he wanted to be a Hobo for Halloween, I start picturing what I know a Hobo should look like. big shoes, big tie, patches on his coat, a white frown painted around his mouth, big red nose. He actually made a pretty cute homeless guy. They just love these little girls to pieces! Posted by Amy Burton.
