Loving our Kella

It has been 5 weeks now that Kella is home with her family. As you can see we are enjoying every day with her. She is doing great! She is a wonderful sleeper and eater and is getting around EVERYWHERE already. She just did not stay in one place very long. She wants to keep up with all the big siblings, so on the move she is. Crawling and pulling herself up to anything and everything. She is so happy and gets so excited, especially for Cody. The girls are great with her and Chloe is turning into such a little mother. What a help they all are to this mama.

We were able to enjoy a few days with Kristin last weekend. It was great to have her with the fam again. She is working HARD and learning lots. A few more months down the road and she would be one to be deployed to the hurricane areas. We are proud of her and miss her!!

It is nice to have some routine back in our house again. We are enjoying these days and all the kids are excited about the big Pumpkin Festival next week.  We continue to try and keep our focus on what is really important. We are constantly reminded of all the kids in this world that need a family. If you want to see an amazing video of a little boy from Ethiopia, go to teamalexander.blogspot.com  Truly, an amazing journey of this family. It got me so excited thinking about the friends that are waiting for their Ethiopian children to join their family!!!
