Sunshine

Well, the sun is actually not shining today, but Daddy is home!! We are so happy that he is home from his trip. He had a great time diving and had a funny surprise when he got to his hotel - there were dophin in the swimming pool!!!! Unfortunately, we are still waiting on our background checks. It has been over 6 weeks and we have no idea when they will come in. But everything else is finished, so I know there is a reason - all in God's time, not mine. I thought since we're still waiting, I would continue telling about our family. Our third blessing is T2. She is our "sunshine", the one who can light up a room with her smile. She loves to play soccer and it seems like she has been playing forever - well at least for 6 years, so that's almost half her life. She can't wait to play in high school next year. Right now she is cheering and loves that too. Volleyball tryouts are just around the corner. If you couldn't tell, T2 likes to be active. She plays the flute just like her big sis and is even getting to play a little piccolo this year. T2 got braces a few months ago . We have had a child in braces now for 5 years. T1 got his off and the next week, H got hers on. Then H got hers off and a couple months later, T2 got hers on. T2 has been begging for braces since T1 had his. Yes, you heard right, she WANTED them!! Maybe it's a third child thing, not wanting to be left out. T2 loves to go to church and youth group. She has a strong sense of right and wrong and her faith in God is growing every day. She is the one who remembers the little things - making a card for us on our birthdays, breakfast in bed on Mother's Day, etc. We love her and are so proud of the young lady she is becoming. Thanksgiving is in a week. Do I put up the Christmas tree or not? All our family is coming for dinner and I'm really looking forward to it. It would be so nice to have the background check thing off my mind!!! Praying for a miracle.......
