We call it our “Adopt-iversary”. September 24. Yes, I realize how late I am posting this.
This year we celebrated 3 years (of officially being adopted) and 4 years of being in our family.
We started a tradition on the first adopt-iversary of making pottery together. I wanted the kids to have something tangible that they could see throughout the years remembering this special day. Pottery just seemed like the most fun activity we could maintain throughout the years as they get older.
And they absolutely love doing this. They know when we say it’s almost our adopt-iversary that they will get to go make pottery. This year our weekend was super jam packed with activity that we almost couldn’t find the time. How sad on our part! We squeezed it in between a meeting at church and my Alpha Xi Delta meeting in San Marcos.
X chose an ice cream cone this year. The plan was to make it match her room.
E chose some sort of little monster thing – I actually have no clue what it’s supposed to be.
My Mom was here that weekend.
Today is my Mom’s birthday – Happy Birthday Mom!! We love you!
I’d actually forgotten to bring my big camera. Luckily, I carry my point & shoot in my purse in case something catastrophic like this happens.
Yes. Ryan and I match every single Sunday. Whoever gets dressed first on Sunday morning gets to choose what Journey Church shirt will be worn that day. I know – we’re so cool.
The finished product. Totally awesome. Matches her room perfectly.
Cute. Whatever he is.
Crazy to think that 4 years as already gone by since these days. While every day brings new emotions to this motherhood journey, I wouldn’t trade any of the highs or lows. These two children are changing me for the better every single day.
