Having fun with their uncles...one of their favorite things! Jared asks me all of the time if he can invite them over!! We love them!!!!!!!!!

Sophie has learned to undress herself! It was morning and she had to gather all of her babies around her. She carries them with her wherever she goes!

Ethan is potty trained! Two down and one more to go! He loved looking at his toys in his basket! It encouraged him to go poopie in the toilet! He has done wonderfully!

Sophie has learned to climb out of her bed. One day she found a marker that her big sister left out, and went to town on her wall, Aubrey's comforter and herself. She did this all in about 20 minutes. (I thought she was sleeping soundly because it was so quiet.) Well, I guess she comes by it naturally...her birthmom is an awesome artist! We still need to paint the wall!

Sophie had her second birthday! She loved the cake and the singing candle! It was a fun day and we had lots of parties with our families! She couldn't wait to get up the next morning and sing with her new mircophone!

Okay so just for the record...Jared woudn't comply one day and so he was upset. He went down to his room and wrote this hilarious sign! I didn't actually see it until a few days later and then by that time it was all scratched out and said, "Just kidding!" I told him I was going to save it and frame it after he had his first child! :)

Sophie and her birth mom Christine, share the same birthday! I think the real birthday was for our family though, they have both blessed our lives so much!

This is Lorraine, Sandy and Ray. They are Austin's birth family! We love them so much and are so happy that we could be a part of their adoption experience!

This was one of the greatest days! A true miracle for our family. Craig and Amy got to have Austin sealed to their family! We will never forget that beautiful experience!

This was Christmas Eve night! Uncle Keith had just arrived the day before, so the kids had so much to be excited about. They all wanted to sleep in the same bed. (Sophie still had to sleep in her crib though.) Thanks to Uncle Keith for making Christmas Eve sooooooo much fun!!
