We're still here, but busy as bees! These last couple weeks of school have been crazy at our house. Between Rylie, Cole and Gabe, we've had plenty of things to do. Soooooo, my blog has suffered a bit. But here are a few pictures of some of the things the kids have been doing.
Gabe was in a musical program at school.
Here he is on field day at school. Go Gabe Go!
Rylie has been busy with awards programs and banquets.
Rylie and Garrett before Jr./Sr. Prom
And last, but certainly not least, my Cole man. He is GRADUATING this year!
I can't believe it! He is sad he won't see his teachers and buddies much anymore, but he plans on starting a lawn service and gonna call it........WIZARD LAWN SERVICE! (how fitting is that!!)
And bless his heart, out of the blue one day, he told me that he had decided he wanted to be baptized! So, on a Sunday morning at our little chapel west of town, before God and a bunch of family and friends, my precious boy was baptized.
Cole and Shannon praying right before.
This boy has always had a close relationship with the Lord. He's a prayer warrior for anyone he sees that he thinks might need prayer. It doesn't matter who it is or where it happens. He is not one bit ashamed of his faith or intimidated by where he shares it when he feels the need. He has taught me and continues to teach me everyday. What a joy it is to be his mom.
" Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them." Mark 10:15,16
And our journey continues.
What a great update. You must be so proud of all your kiddos. Gabe is so cute and looks so happy. Cole is so handsome and his baptism is so precious. Rylie is beautiful in her formal dress. I have followed your blog since you started Gabe's adoption and it thrills my heart to see his little face so full of joy. I remember his face in a picture at the institution and he looked so terrified. I'm so thankful he is with his family now. Lisa in Houston
