ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK...GO KU!

Let's Go Jayhawks......Beat MU!!
We had to post our little one in some KU stuff...thanks Grandpa Hime and Aunt Brandi for getting this little bib for Katie, KSU couldn't have her full affection. We can't believe that KU is rating number 2 in the nation in Football!! Who would have thought it??!!

Even though we are KSU grads, Justin still has an affection to KU because that is where he grew up in Lawrence KS. Everybody on his side of the family roots for KU. So in Justin's heart a little a red and blue jayhawk still lives.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk...Go KU!
You want me to what??
Oh...Tackle the football!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emergency bath time...

Katie's diaper was full last night and it ended up leaking, everywhere! So when Justin came down with her it was determined that she needed a bath right away. And the sink was the closest thing! She love it! She is almost to big to sit in the small side, but managed to fit and splash water everywhere. :) Good thing I had just cleaned the sink!

What are you doing dad?

Katie is loving learning new things around her. She is not crawling yet, (though her motor is going...no transmission-according to Justin) she has taken to leaning to see what she wants to see or get to. As you can tell she leaned around the coffee table to see the fire that Justin was building in the fireplace.

Happy BEAUTIFUL Thanksgiving!

I don't know about you all, but this year in NC the leaves have be more beauitful then I have ever seen them! I am amazed everytime that I look out the windows, or take a walk or drive somewhere at the billiant colors of the leaves. They are truely breathtaking. I have told Justin about every day that I LOVE THE COLORS! And I don't think my pictures do it justice, but I had to try!

If things like this do not cause people to think someone/something had to be the creator (of this world), because I don't know an accident could cause these colors, I don't know what else could/would point you to our God. The leaves are magnificant this year and it has caused me to sing the praises of our God and Savior.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We LOVE YOU! Love, Justin, Gi and Katie

Hi Graham!!

We were blessed to meet a handsome little boy this past weekend, Graham Rosolowski! Graham's mommy Jackie was a teacher with me at Franklin Academy and we were pregnant at the same time last year. She also taught 5th grade. It was SUCH a blessing to have Jackie with me to go through the ups and downs as teachers as we battled our growing bellies and 75 kids a day!

Now Jackie, Anthony and Graham live in TN and he is the music pastor of a church out there. They were in WF for the past few years as Anthony finished up his degree from Southeastern Seminary. :)

Graham is 3 months old, but doesn't Katie look like she is going to take over? She really was interested in feeling Grahams head either with her fingers or by giving kisses!

Graham also had a very cute outfit- jean overalls- on when he came to see us, but as soon as he stepped in the doorway he had a stinky accident. :( So much for dressing our kids up...something always happens! Way to go Jackie to have this other cute comfy outfit for him to wear! What a good mom! :)

We are SO glad that you stopped by to see us! We will make it to TN next time to see you all!

KSU...KSU...KSU...

Justin and I graduated from Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas and wanted to bring a bit of that to Katie! The school colors are purple and gray, can't you tell? I put all of the few things I had left from those years in this picture...isn't sad that all I have left are two bears and one Willie the Wildcat?! (Well we do have a bunch of pictures too!) We both loved school and wanted to say...........GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The football team this year has had a few good games, like beating TX (sorry Hunter), and they were in the top 25 for a while, but now Kansas University's record is beating the snot out of them.

Justin grew up in Lawrence, Kansas where KU is, we are now saying GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are still unbeaten, wow! That the football team is any good is a miracle... But when Darren (Justin's stepdad) was playing for KU football they were good!....that was a few decades ago, sorry Darren for calling you sorta old! :) They must have been good because HE played! :)

Normally it is the KU basketball team that gets the town up and rejoycing, but not this time.

So really it is Go KSU and KU this year! :)

Proud to be a Kansan.

Baby Taco

This is Katie as a Taco....Justin was moving her and the blanket to another place to play a few days ago and looked pretty cute in there! :)

Fields of Promise

This is a fantastic website devoted to adoptions. It was started by a family that we know of in Kansas back at our old church, Grace EPC. It is a fantastic church body and one we still love to go back and visit!

A friend of ours is adopting a little boy from Ethopia very soon. What a testimony to give a child a family!! We can't wait to meet your little boy, Avila family. :)

Check it out!

Can you believe that the holidays are upon us!

Hey all....I love the love of the holidays....so in light of that I decided to change our blog to holiday colors. I tried a true red, but not for me! So instead it is green and pink. Play around with your blog to make it festive!
Love to everybody!
