On Saturday, our dear friends, The Durrans ( Adopted grandparents), came out to meet Liberty for the first time. Hannah and Tiffany made brunch for us all. We always love our visits with them. They are so precious to us!
We ordered pizza on Monday night. It was Liberty's first time tasting it. She absolutely LOVED it! We're finding anything sweet, or made of bread, she loves!
Every Wed. for the month of July, one of Hannah's friends, Reilly, hosted a tea. Every week was a different theme. Hannah missed the first two because she was sick, but she has LOVED going to the last few. After tea time the girls played fun games. Here they are during one of their games... Below is a close up of Hannah and Reilly. :0)
Look very closely at this picture. Lincoln has his "arms" around Reagan. Hannah made me take this picture. We love our dogs!!
My friend, Carri, had her mom in town this week. Barbara ( Carri's mom), followed our blog while we were in China, and wanted to come down to meet Liberty. Needless to say, Liberty loved her!! Can you tell from these pictures?? It was a sweet time. :0)
The girls had their friends Hailee Whiddon, and Sydney Shabro over to swim. I like this picture...Below is Hailee with Liberty. They had fun getting to know each other.
On Sunday, we went to the lake with the Howie Family. It was their first time meeting Liberty. It was SO fun! Their kids, Jacob and Payton, are really fun to hang out with. They have a lot of "spunk" just like their mom, Jill! HA!
This picture of Liberty ( Above), really cracks me up!! Chad changed her diaper and she came downstairs looking at me like this. Look at the size of the diaper...do ya think it's too big?? Obviously Liberty does! HA!We went to Harveston Park to take a walk. Hannah wanted to ride on Chad's shoulders. We didn't realize how big she's grown until we saw this photo. It makes us sad...she's growing up SO fast.
The rest of these photos are taken on our stroll... By the way...
Look closely at Chad. He's such a proud daddy! Liberty has been very slow in warming up to him since we arrived home. On Tuesday, Chad was on his way out the door to run some errands. Out of the blue, Liberty went up to him, grabbed his hand , and "told" him she wanted to go with him. He was SO shocked ( As were all of us), but so excited too!! He VERY quickly ( Before she could change her mind), put her in the car and took off. He kept calling me to tell me how happy he was. It was SO precious! He even asked if I needed any errands run so he could keep her out. We don't know what made her "click." But, I pray she'll be a Daddy's Girl one day. Chad is such an amazing dad!!
Another hair style from sister Hannah.
Our friends, the Limon's, came over to play. Liberty LOVES their family!! When we first arrived home from China, Kellie and the kids took care of them A LOT. We love their family! :0)
The picture above is one of my favorites. Every night we read together as a family. These last 2 weeks we've been reading about Hudson Taylor. He was a missionary to China over 100 years ago. Obviously, we love reading anything about China! Sometimes, the kids just sit and listen and sometimes they color. Liberty does an amazing job at being respectful and not being a distraction while we read. She seems to be very discerning. She amazes us!! Can you believe she's only 3? What a little blessing she is!Last week, a girl from our church hosted a " Girl Camp." Her name is Shelby Reep. She loves kids and organizing kid functions. She's done this for the last 2 summers. They do crafts, make up cheers and dances, do Bible study, and they have a theme each day. ( Tea Party, Water Day, etc...). My girls lOVE to go and they LOVE Shelby! ( She's the blondie in the back). Liberty didn't get to go, but Hannah wanted her in the picture.
One day, I thought my hubby was working in the back yard. I looked out, and WHO was doing my yard work but Elton John!! I LOVE this photo! Chad lost his glasses awhile back, and he found my very OLD ones to put on. HA!
