Just a few fall pictures of these 3 sweeties! Landon is in the 3rd grade. He is ornery and strong willed, he keeps me on my toes, by I love being his mommy. And yes, at 9 he still calls me "Mommy." Thank Goodness. Landon loves, sports, running, and shooting bow and arrow.

Alydia is just the sweetest little girl. She is so excited to have a new sister. But, she has worries about us leaving. She prays every night that Adalynn, will be able to eat, (she is concerned about her cleft palate), she prays that Adalynn likes our family, and that she comes to love all of the cousins the same as we do. And there are a lot of cousins!

Little Eli is still more concerned with having fun than anything else. He adds a whole new dimension to our family. Just this morning he decided that he would get him self up, get dressed, come downstairs, put on his coat and shoes..all with his eyes closed. Eli loves to sing and dance, he is enjoying preschool. What a blessing he is.

It will be so interesting to see how Adalynn's personality fits into our family. We remember the orphanage telling us that Eli was the loudest most demanding baby in the orphanage. That proved to be very true..which actually fit in just fine, as our house is far from calm. So far we have heard that Adalynn's personality is "optimistic" and quiet...we'll see:)
