Whew....that's about all I got to say about THIS weekend. Don't get me wrong- it's not really been a bad one, just EXTREMELY busy and I've been flying solo since early Saturday morning.
Before this crazy weekend began though,
Shane and I were able to sneak off for a couple of hours on Friday night and enjoy a belated anniversary dinner.Saturday morning came bright and early as Shane got ready to participate in the "Breakaway to the Beach Experience". This is a HUGE road bike race which raises funds and awareness for MS. He rode his bike for a total of 150 miles over the course of two days. He started just outside of Charlotte, and rode all the way to Sunset Beach, N.C.
He did great and was able to finish strong!
We are so proud of him and all his hard work!!!!

The kids woke up VERY early on Saturday morning in order to give Daddy lots of good luck hugs and kisses.They were very excited to see him off.
After we got Shane on the road, it was off to the soccer fields for the rest of us.
We had three soccer games on the docket for Saturday.
Cor, Ri, and "A" each played GREAT, and the babies and I had fun cheering them on from the sidelines!After the games were over, we were then birthday party bound.
"A's" classmate, Bella, invited our family over to help her celebrate her 6th birthday.Lots of kids from "A's" class were there and we had a GREAT time hanging out and getting to know these sweet families better. Bella's family hosted a wonderful cookout in their backyard and everything was delicious!
The kids were well entertained with the bouncy house, scavenger hunt, and pinata!
Everyone had a BLAST, and by the time we got home, everyone (including this mama) were WIPED.We called it a day rather early and by the time every one's head hit that pillow Saturday evening--they were OUT!
Sunday we went to church and then headed home to host some sweet, unexpected out of town guests. We enjoyed a nice visit with Shane's grandparents, dad, and aunt and uncle. Of course, everyone was bummed that Shane wasn't there to visit too.After they left, it was BACK to church again for children's choir and Wee Praisers.
By the time we got back from church Sunday evening, Shane was home from his race!
Everyone was so...........glad to see him--especially ME;)!!!!!
Whew...What a weekend y'all. I'm kind-of glad it's Monday.
Happy, Happy Monday everyone. I pray it's a great one!

I've been following your blog for a while and I love it. I was an adoption social worker for 5 yrs so I'm passionate about that. Please thank Shane for doing the ride for MS. I have MS and raise a lot of money but am happy to know others are out there helping too! Feel free to check out my blog at jodibeansblog.blogspot.com
I have loved your blog for a long time. You have such a beautiful family!
I live in CLT and am beginning the training to become a foster parent. (this weekend!) I wondered if I might be able to email you to learn more about your experience?
Thanks for your blog. The love you have for these children (heart and tummy babies)is inspriring!
