HAPPY 4TH OFJULY!

Miss Morgan celebrated her first 4th of July at the beach. She had such a great time. She loved the water, didn't want to get out and loved playing in the sand. I was a little worried she wasn't going to do well since she doesn't do well with change, but she loved the room and was running all over the place. She had her toys scattered all over the room. It was just like home. Michelle brought her two little ones, Stasia and Neet. They also had a great time. It was there first time at the beach. The beach had a great firework display. Miss Morgan fell asleep during most of it, which was quite surprising, since she doesn't like to miss out on anything going on. We can't wait to go back next year!

Sneak Peak at Photos for Celebrating Adoption

Morgan and I met Martha Bravo and had a little photo shoot. These are just some of the images she captured. Martha participates in Celebrating Adoption. She is so beautiful, I just stare at the pictures in awe. She took about 60 pictures, now I have to decide which ones I want.

Tara Graduates from Law School

After a long 4 years, Tara has finished law school! It's so exciting. She has worked so hard and I just know she can finally see that light at the end of the tunnel. Eric, Tonya and little Jackson came down from Georgia. Not only did we all get to celebrate with Tara, we also got to see Jackson for the first time. Of course, Morgan had to share kisses with the little man. Friday, everyone got together and had dinner at Aunt Betsy's and then played outside. All the little ones had a great time. Morgan was the "ham" that she always is. How could you not love that face??? Saturday, was the big event in Orlando. It was quite a presentation and all the little ones cooperated the whole time. After the graduation, most of us went to the Melting Pot and had a wonderful fondue. CONGRATULATIONS TARA!!!! EVERYONE IS SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!

Cousin Kay is Doing the 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk

A very special person to me, Kay, is doing the 3 day breast cancer walk in Tampa this year. She has to raise $2200 by Oct. I'm asking everyone I know to donate just $5 to Kay to help her walk. She is walking to honor my mother, who is overcoming breast cancer. It was such an honor that Kay wanted to walk for my mom. Please help, if you can, so Morgan's grandma will be able to celebrate all her birthdays with her. Thank you all so much. Here is her site http://08.the3day.org/site/TR/Walk/TampaBayEvent?px=1859026&pg=personal&fr_id=1190&et=eGAFCQWUa0_kSjbEtFFbzA..&s_tafId=1402

100 Wishes Quilt is Done!!!

Millie and Julie finished miss Morgan's quilt! It's so beautiful. I know they took a lot of their spare time to put this together for Morgan and I sure do appreciate it. I've decided I'm going to put it away and present it to Morgan when she is a little older along with all the good wishes. I think she will appreciate it a little more then. Thank you again Millie and Julie, you all did a wonderful job. Susan Schmitz in Dade City did the quilting and I just want to send her a big thank you also. Everytime I look at this quilt, I am just amazed at how much love was put into this and how grateful Morgan will be when she can understand how this whole quilt came together. Thank you again to everyone for helping and contributing.
