Celebrating 6 Months as a Family of Five!


May 17th, 2010...
The day that changed our lives forever.

Today we celebrated SIX  full months as a family of five... SIX MONTHS already!!  We are smitten and forever changed for the better ...Oh how we love this girl!!

Khloe is as sweet as she looks, mixed with the perfect balance of sass and spunk!  Oh, she certainly has a stubborn streak in her, too... but I wouldn't change her for the world.  She is smart as a whip, and lights up every room she enters.   Her charming whit and sense of humor never cease to amaze me.  Her newest thing is "I tease you, Mommy!" ...she is SO funny!!  She is a lovey little cuddler and is always showering us with hugs and kisses!  Khloe has breathed such fresh life into our family, and we simply cannot imagine our home without her.  God is GOOD!  Here's celebrating the gift of YOU, Khloe Mei!!!  We love you Baby Girl!!





"For this child I prayed;
and the LORD has given me my petition
 which I asked of Him."
~ I. Samuel 1:27


**PRAYER REQUEST**
Tomorrow (Thursday) our precious girl goes into Children's Hospital for a series of tests. She will have to be catherized (sp??) the entire time without anestesia, and it is expected to take about 3 hours. This is the big appointment we have been waiting for. Please pray for peace and security for Khloe going into this. I have already been talking to her about what is going to happen, and tonight as I was rocking her before bed, she told me what the doctor is going to do, so I think she is as ready as she can be. She needs to be relaxed and still, so please pray for her comfort. And pray that we get all the 'unanswered' questions cleared up through this testing, as we do not want her to have to endure another surgery. We know that the Lord goes before us, and He has already brought Khloe through so much in her short life. I know He will see her through this, too!   Thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers!! <><
