Mannie gives Nantie a hand bathing Little Miss Sunshine. He's such a good helper! Our little angel girl LOVES the water and is happy as a clam splashing in it.
Your photo reminds me of when I would bathe the twins...I had one son in one sink, and the other son in the other sink...with their older brother (by 17 months) "helping" me. What a great memory!
Mannie looks like a wonderful helper and big brother!
Through a little blog-hopping and trying to find blogs to offer up support and inspiration as we embark on our foster-adopt journey, I landed here. So far I love what I see and will be back to visit you often! We had a disrupted placement this summer, but are pretty 'new' when it comes to this foster thing! Thanks for all of your inspiration!
An ongoing tale of our most excellent (and terrifying) adventure yet.. adoption via foster care. This is a journey Darling Husband and I started with Nantie ("Nanny-Auntie" - a blessing from above) in 2007. Although she moved in 2010, we miss her dearly and so appreciate all she did while here.
We also have a herd of rescued canines, fear the Lord and laugh a lot.
August, 2011: Seven amazing placements and a week after we were told LittleBuddy and SweetPea were available for us to adopt, my husband passed away unexpectedly.
April, 2012: I had the honor of adopting my darling 7 year old son (Little Buddy) and 3 1/2 year old sister (SweetPea). I awoke the following day a 40something, widowed single mommy... and couldn't of been happier.
In 1999, a year after my own mother passed away I found out I, myself, was an adopted county baby. Life has some ironic twists but we all seem to come Full Circle
This is our story.

I love seeing older kids helping with their younger siblings.
Talk about good, clean fun!
