All Together!

I am enjoying all of my family being back together. The Lord is so faithful. We picked up right where we left off and with the addition of Nolan and Oliver-- well our family is just all the more blessed.

The boys are transitioning into our family wonderfully.  Just look!

John saw how much Nolan liked the pools at the babyhouse that he wanted to have one waiting for Nolan when he came home.

It was a great ice breaker.

However when the little boys stripped down to their underwear, Nolan used it to go pee-pee.

John quickly emptied the pool and filled it back up never missing a beat.:)

I am overwhelmed by the excitement and love in each of my children.

Julia had a wonderful dinner waiting for us when we got home.

She is so happy to have us all home!

For Fourth of July, John took all the kids that wanted to go to the local park to watch the most spectacular fireworks show.  Oliver and I stayed because we were more than ready for bed by 8:30pm.  John took Nolan so I could rest, he could bond with Nolan some more, and to introduce Nolan to fireworks!

All the little boys 7 and under slept with John and I last night.  By 6am we were downstairs after a full night's sleep.  Not bad considering the time change.

Dennis is such a proud big boy.

Galina is an amazing big sister.

Nolan can already say Anna!

Adam and Oliver have bonded in a way that makes my heart sing!

Caleb entertaining Oliver.

Oliver loved, loved, loved the pool.  Did I mention that he loved the pool? :)

He could have stayed in all day!

Paul and Nolan getting to know each other. 

Oliver is officially a Reed!

Looks like Nolan is too!
