Photo Shoot in Maubeuge

We decided to squeeze in a photo shoot while we are still nine... Yes, as I said recently, things are "blooming" here, which means change! And not just because the children are growing up.

First, Stéphane is getting married July 30, so that means we will no longer be 9 in the family, but 10 or 8 depending on how we count!

Second, we have an adoption project in the works! We spent the last two years trying to get a home study here in France to be able to adopt. We finally have it! So now we are asking God who would be right for us, and for whom we would be right. More about that later.

Here are a few of the pictures of the 9 of us...

Things are blooming at our house!!!

Springtime might just be my favorite season!! Seeing the miracle of life emerging from seeds never fails to fascinate me.

Thought it would be fun to play a little guessing game to see how many flower experts we have among our friends. Anyone able to name all four of these flowers in our garden?

And as the flowers blossom in our garden, our family is also in the process of "blooming" or so we hope (in a couple of different ways)!! Anyone want to take a guess as to how?
