Our new kids!

Well as everyone knows we were trying to bring home four of the most wonderful kids. Well we can finely show you photos of them. This is the first time we saw them after they got off the plane. They all smiled at us & laughed all the time, I think they thought we sounded funny. As I know some of the things they say make me laugh. The sounds & just not knowing what they are saying sometimes make you laugh. So we must be very funny because they were always smiling.
While they were here last time we went though some hard times. As the two little one both had to go to the hospital to have their teeth fix. Our sweat little girl had to have 15 teeth pulled, & our baby boy had to have 5 teeth pulled. That was just their first week & half with us.
Then we were able to start to have some fun with them. As you can see she was fine after her teeth got fixed, she is a little monkey.
The kids were always smiling when they felt well, they are very happy kids.
Our baby boy was very hard to get out of the water. You would just get him cleaned up & back in the water he would go. I know that is what four year olds are good at.
This is the sweet boy that just loves to be arounded people. He is the quiet boy that would do anything you asked him. Then it was time for them to go home. It was a hard day, & our oldest boy would not leave Terry's side he didn't want to go back.
After they went home we work very hard to get them back. We had a fundraiser that was so much fun. We had awesome food, great friends. There was pie in the face. There was raffles for Ipod & a Kindle, a silent action. So many people that we were so happy & so thankful to them. It was so awesome to see all the people that cared for the kids.
This was the day they went home. It was hard to look happy that day.
This is a photo we got of the day that told the kids. That we were going to adopt them.
This is the first time we ever saw her with teeth. It was sent to us from another family that was going over to pick up their kids. Their kids happen to be our kids best friends. They adopted three kids the same ages as our three oldest. We hope to be able to go see them sometime as they are only a state a way. This is a photo of our girl & her best bud that got adopted & moved on the other side of the states, so a long ways away.
This is a photo of our baby boy when we first saw him. He is showing us his bed. His is one in the middle. He liked to sleep on the girls side of the room.
This is our boy, he is just about to do a show for us. It was so much fun he did a very good job. We were very proud of him.
This is the photo that we took right before we left there home.
This is a photo that we took at the hotel the day we got the kids done at ICAB. As you can see our little girl is sick, but she is a real trooper. The very next day we left to take the kids back home for good.

Our trip!

So we finally got to go on our trip to the Philippines. Our first day we stayed in Manila. Then the next 2 days we stayed in Batangas at this very pretty place called Casita Ysabel. It was so nice it was on a hill that went down to the beach.
This is the dock that was over the water. It is made out of bamboo, so you can see though it. You could see all the islands around you.
This is the look down from our room we stayed in. It had very pretty walk ways that you could look at all the shells places in them. That is the place we would walk to to go eat. It was very nice as you got four meals a day with your stay. They would come fine you when the food was done.

This is another look from our room. You could just sit & look at the view for a long time. It was a very peaceful place. Just what we needed before we went to get the kids. We played on the beach & went sailing if was just very nice. They only have 8 room so it was just very peaceful. There was only one other couple there. So that was also very nice.
