Maria Sue Chapman

As many people have heard, Steven Curtis Chapman's youngest daughter was killed in a tragic accident. It's hard to fathom how this could happen or how they are going to adjust to life after but as a Christian I know that the only answer can be found in their faith in God. I think we all feel their loss so deeply and wish we could tell them how sorry we are. Since that's not possible, I found a good recommendation on another blog. If everyone that feels sympathy for them heads over to Shaohannah's Hope and makes a donation (even if it's only $10) it could go a long way to helping adoptive families (people that are very close to the Chapman family's hearts) This is the link if you wish to donate. https://secure2.convio.net/ccsh/site/Donation2?idb=627612270&df_id=1560&1560.donation=form1&JServSessionIdr007=ej3gq4au45.app6b This is just another reminder to live in the moment. Enjoy your kids and give them an extra hug. You never know how life can change in an instant. I know I'm trying to remember this even when it's hard and Emily maybe isn't doing things that I want her to do. I'm going to try to be less frustrated and try to look at the big picture.

My how time flies!

We had a lot of fun at an Easter Egg Hunt. Abby and Emily had a blast.

Emily was much better at it this year.

Emily has "learned" how to put her own barrettes in her hair.

Abby having fun playing with her Leapster.

We have been keeping busy as usual. I'm not sure where the time goes. I always mean to keep my blog more up to date (I secretly envy those that are able to post most days of the weak) but once again here I am a couple months later posting an update. I really am going to try to be better about posting.

That leads me to my next topic. If you've stopped by our blog, please leave us a note. It's always nice to meet new friends in blogland. So feel free to introduce yourself. I'd love to stop by your blog and meet. The adoption world is a wonderful place and it's so great to meet all these forever families and follow your journies.

Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned for another update soon.
