I have to say living in Minnesota we get to enjoy four beautiful seasons and one that I love the most is officially here! Fall!! I love all the harvest festivals and apples made into many things and pumpkins! We had a blast today at a corn maze and enough of me rambling let the pictures speak for them selves

Potty Training!

Help! We are trying to tain Piper to use the Potty right now and here is our progress so far or lack there of! We put her on the potty and give her about 15 min knowing full well that she just drank eight ounces of Juice or some other liquid and really does need to go. She does nothing while on the potty so of she comes and I put a pull up on her and two seconds later she has gone in her pull-up tell me this girl has no control! I dont know if she is scard of going on the Potty or what! Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I should have checked the RR My Family Found Me page sooner! Our litte Pearls got 562.50 available for her adoption! Another wonderful God sighting on this Journey! Thank you to all who have been a part! Thought as usual I would share some pics of our summer in the land of 10,000 Lakes! Enjoy and dont forget Adopiton Fear Factor

I wanted to write on this Labor day weekend and as summer comes to a close our journey is in full swing to bring our little Olivia home! Here is a hint on our upcoming Fear Factor Adoption Style fundraiser! I must admitt I am frightened out of my mind!

I will give you a hint. It involves reptiles! Are you ready? Let the fear begin! Go fund me link is under Olivia's picture just copy and paste!

Here we go again, We have just finished our first PPR for our recent adoption from Bulgaria and then we were having quiet moment at home which never happens latley and I thought I would take a quick peak at the children coming home and right there in from of my face she was. My heart skipped a beat. We contacted RR right away and were told she had found a family. At that point I thought to myself if she would have been ment for our family it would happen and if she was not we would accept that and were just happy this little girl was going to bring joy to a family that will change both of their lives. Long Story Short I drove a dear lady crazy asking about the status of this little girl as she was still on the newly listed page. We opened up our email from our Iowa angel after church two weeks ago and the title of this email was "Are you sitting down" I read on and I really dont think I read past the first sentence which stated that we could committ to this sweet little girl! So off we go again to Bulgaria because this little girl is going to be much loved and bring our family joy unending! I dont know what it is about adoption but we have adopted eight children and each photo that we saw of them prior to committment we just knew. Funny how a photo can do that! I thought I would share photos of our new littles so you can enjoy a little eye candy at the end of this post! We are overjoyed we get to work with AAC again as our agency far outdid them selves with our first international adoption from the start stateside to our homecoming. We never felt alone and every question was met with an answer. We were never ment to think that we were bothering them. If anyone out there would like to know more about Bulgarian adoption we would be willing to share our experience with you because it was the greatest ever! We will be doing alot of fun fundraisers so stay tuned and bulkle up because this is going to be a fast ride to our little angel! We cant wait to hold her in our arms! God Bless and say tuned. I thought I would leave you with a few pieces of eye candy! Our two new additions Piper Ann and Atanas Joseph
