Lucy and Isaac Sittin In a Tree.....K-I-S-S-I-N-G

Ok....So...NOT in a TREE....And...they weren't even kissing....BUT...how about together in a grocery cart?? This was about the cutest thing we'd ever seen:

You would have thought that these were the first two brown babes EVER placed in a grocery cart together by the way the kids and all of us MADE OVER THEM....They were PRECIOUS together....Wouldn't Almaz be proud?? (our HH director in Ethiopia :)

Well..the cuteness of these two continued all weekend...For anyone that hasn't read all weekend: Our friend Andrea and her Baby Isaac were staying with us this weekend...And, we had so much fun!! Both LL and Isaac are from Hannah's Hope Orphanage.

Isaac gave LL's chair a try....and well...LL can't stand the thing now, so she was telling him he could just keep it if he wanted...cause she's a BIG girl (with a paci) and sits in ONLY big kid chairs now!! :)

And, Isaac just couldn't be cuter!! We all just fell in love all weekend...What a treat!!!

Thanks Andrea for comin...and if yall want to see my LL and her Isaac in action...You can check out this little video Andrea threw together of our babes together...It is hilarious...AND, yes..I really DO talk like that!! LOL :) And, Yes, my LL is a nut all the time!!

Happy Monday to you all, kj

ps... see if yall can help out my friend at www.loveyamorethancookies.blogspot.com TRULY an inspirational family adopting not one but TWO children with special needs!! She has a great way to help them raise money on her blog right now!! Love me some Maria and her LOVE of big bows like I do! :)

AGCI = Beautiful Babes!!!

Oh, hurt my heart these kids were sooooo precious yesterday at AGCI's Annual Picnic held here in the GREAT state of Tennessee!!! These are ALL children HOME with their forever families coming together to celebrate BEING A FAMILY!!!You see....we all have the ONE thing that an orphaned child NEEDS and WANTS: A FAMILY!!! And, this weekend was full of celebrations and picnics..NOT ONLY for those home...but ALSO remembering THOSE children THAT STILL MUST WAIT!!! It was a BLESSED weekend and I'm so very proud to have been part of it!!

Tennessee is H-O-T this time of year!!! So, I organized enough water fun to keep these little babes cool!!!

And, I do believe they enjoyed it!!!

The children were just PRECIOUS!!! My favorite part was witnessing those children that STILL remembered each other from their time at Hannah's Hope Orphanage in Ethiopia...It was as if they were long lost friends coming back together!!

The "kids" group shot!!

I was SO excited to meet so many "blog" and "adoption" friends that I ONLY knew ON LINE!! It was SO SURREAL to see them ALL come alive in ONE PLACE!! So cool!!

Isaac and Andrea (from www.babeofmyheart.com ) stayed with us all weekend...more cute pics of Isaac and LL together in my next post :)

LL enjoyed the bubbles A LOT!!!

Doesn't this little love in orange look like my LL?? We all thought so!!

Ok...I do believe LL was getting a little tired by the end of the picnic!!! Above..she was about to fall asleep standing up!!!! :)

My Mississippi Peeps!! They have such a great adoption fellowship starting up there!! Praise God for these families that LEAD the way and follow God's calling!!

Ok, so do you see these two holding hands?? Isn't that the sweetest!! I have pics of these two at Hannahs Hope together while in Ethiopia!! This little Princess came home right after my LL...so they were there together the entire time!! So neat!!
