Good morning princess

The next day we woke up and took the girls to see Ariel! When we got there we realized Cinderella came first, so all were happy:)! Lots of sunshine, swimming, slide riding, eating, eating, eating, and smiles:)!!

Disney Cruise, part 1 of many

We were so so blessed to go on a Disney Cruise for a week with my entire family. 9 grandkids (#10 on the way!) all 6 and under was pretty fun! Thank you mom and dad for the vacation of a lifetime! Here is the first of many blogs showing all the smiles and sunshine and fun!! This was the second night, formal night. The ship was all decorated for Christmas:)!

friends and family make it all fun

Because we have such good friends who are also our close neighbors it is fun to get together with our families, eat chili, watch the kids run around like crazy, and then walk in a huge group to all the houses. Having family here is a blessing and after all the kids were in bed we played games and ate the candy and talked. In everything I want to be thankful, even Halloween, my least favorite holiday. We are blessed blessed and thankful for family and friends!

Love is Waiting

Graciously through a friend of a friend, we were chosen to be one of "Love is Waiting"'s four families who will receive a % of sales from her T-shirt sales. It all started when Heather was adopting her son from Ethiopia and, being a graphic designer, opened a shop to raise support for her adoption. Now that he is home she has a heart to help other adoptive families. November is adoption awareness month and she is picking 4 families to give proceeds to...we are the first family! You can read more here! There will be future fundraisers for us Hunters as we still have a lengthy wait time, however every little amount helps, plus you get an awesome adoption awareness shirt, today through Nov. 7th:)

We know we cannot save every orphan, but there are 147 million orphans...soon to be minus ONE! Blessings Shelly

Canon is 5!!

Absolutely love this precious boy. What a wonderful 5 year old he will make! So thankful the Lord blessed us with him: his puppy dog eyes, love for the bible and sports, all boy aggression, ease for learning, intense connection to Daddy, silliness; praise the Lord for this child!
