Birthmother's Day

Yesterday was Birthmother's Day! We are so thankful for Sylvia and Latrice, for allowing us to love their babies and be Dad and Mom. These two ladies love their babies so much! We are so glad to share "our" kids with their birthfamilies--we are parents because of the love that these two ladies had for their babies. Allen and I love David and Kassy even more than we thought possible. Thank you, Sylvia and Latrice, for being a part of our family and adopting us too!!

We celebrated Mother's Day with Allen's mom and dad last night at Perkins in Watertown then went to my folk's. Kids both slept all the way and Allen was able to carry David in without waking him up. He slept on the floor in my brother's room and I worried that he would wake up and not know where he was. He only slept until 6:30 this morning, but woke up happy and was headed to the living room (where the toys are!) when I caught up with him. Kassy was Grandma's girl, which gave us the opportunity to keep on sleeping. Breaks like that are wonderful!

After church and dinner at Godfather's (my favorite!), Allen and David went to help my dad haul cornstalk bales home from the field. David loves going anywhere and everywhere in the tractor.


David drives anything with a steering wheel!

Grandma Laabs, Matthew, Sabrina, Jonah, and Caleb joined us this afternoon for a fun afternoon of laughing and entertaining chaos. I'm so glad that our kids will grow up knowing each other!
