Wii love to play!

How do you entertain three active kids and waer them ot for bed? Wii! We bowled and had a great time. Jacob has a style that is very unique. It looks he like is a pitcher for fast pitch soft ball. They had such fun and Emily had the same scores. They had so much fun. We always love it when Jacob come to play!

Peas in a pod

After a full night of playing and a night of slumbering they were up and ready for fun.
They decided to look throgh the Thomas coloring and activity book. Taking turns pointing out things and laughing and talking. They are so cute together. It does seem to matter how long it has been since they have seen each other they are just best buddies when they see each other. How blessed they are to have a such a dear friend who will be with them forever. They like to play and they can't wait til they can see each other. I hope they will alway love each other like this.

How could I not take pictures of these too cute toesies! Seconds before the pic snapped they had there toes the exact same way.

Our Family Portrait

Well here we are, the Rose family portait, it is long overdue. We have not had family pictre taken for years (Sammy was six months old I believe). So after much hinting by Grandmas we decided it was time. The appointment was made and the outfits chosen, we were ready to go. There was a tiny fear in my heart. You see, I was always affraid that this beautiful picture might not always look this way. That one day Emily might not be in our home. Fortunatly we were so deeply blessed to recieve a letter from Emily biological father, Robert, that he is letting us adopt Emily. This is an answer to so many heartfelt prayers by us and some many who love us. So this family portrait is so special, the first of many in the years to come. This has shown me that prayers are truly answered just not always the way you might expect.
