I've been so bogged down with adoption stuff and church directory stuff that I haven't posted many pictures lately. So here are a few of the last couple of weeks.
They are slightly out of order, but you'll get the idea.
While I worked on church directory photos, Josiah and Olivia stayed entertained for 2 1/2 hours! And guess what they made? A trap.
What a mess. It only took about 10 minutes to clean up with my help. Worth it.
And guess what they trapped?
He seemed pretty content under there.
He used to not cuddle. I'm so glad that he does now.
The boys wanted me to take this picture so that they could be published in the Lego magazine. Maybe I should send it in...
This is my tag along. Everywhere I have to go, he has to go. He's a trooper.
Isaac, the fisherman. I think he almost caught a few heads of adults around him instead of fish.
Olivia and her sweet friend.
I watched on, in fear of alligators lurking under them.
Josiah and Isaac had a blast digging for crabs.
Yes, I let Olivia go like this to the grocery store.

1. I love Olivia's store outfit. I'm also "that Mom" who lets her kids go out as they wish.
2. What amazing times you have on the water there! Jealous!
3. Andy is SO big now!
4. You SHOULD send in the lego pics. I had a girl in my Sunday school class last year that made lego stuff with her brother. Her Mom sent it in and they won a family trip to New York City and a huge college scholarship for them both. Legos is not messing around :)
5. Love you guys.
Love Olivia's outfit. One time when we went to the store, Aaron refused to walk beside us - totally embarrassed because Ben was in a Spiderman costume.
Maybe it all stems from Gran letting you wear knee-highs all week on vacation! hee-hee!
The last comment is from Sandra - didn't know Aaron was logged in. Sorry!
I love what kids do when left on their own! (Like swimming pools made out of bricks!) It doesn't look like Andy minded being trapped. I'm always SHOCKED when I see Isaac's hair!! It takes me a minute to identify him! ha! YES!! Send that photo to Legos! And I'm totally with Sandra...you remember the good times of wearing knee highs all over Arkansas which is why you let Olivia go to the store dressed so amazingly! Love it all!
Andy looks like enjoyed being trapped. Olivia looked perfectly happy with her choice of apparel. I'm impressed with the boys lego construction. I think you should send the pic in to Legos. Isaac's HAIR is getting so long. He doesn't even look like himself.
Hi Amy! I spoke with you briefly on the CCI chat a couple of weeks ago. We are waiting for a referral as well and I think we sent out dossiers off at about the same time! Let me know if you hear any good news! lesliejones08@gmail.com

That's a good mom that allows her kids some individuality!!
DEFINITELY send it in the LEGO!! LOVE the pics amy, as always! I love your family and I so miss you guys. ALL of you. I love that O and J built a trap, he he he! I'm rolling. I just can't get over how big your kids are. It's not possible.
Tamra- I STILL should send in that Lego picture.... I put things off; it's my weakness.
Sandra- I figured that Aaron could care less about my knee-high story. :)
Jean- Isaac finally got a hair cut. It's still long, but not blah long.
Sheila- I do allow individuality, but I think it's more that they demand it. haha
Kara- I MISS YOU!!!!!! (Do I tell you that enough?)
