Our Oldest!

Our wonderful friend, Brooke of Brooke Holland Photography, took these amazing pictures of Paizley for her sweet 16 and new adoption! Brooke did an amazing job of capturing Paizley's personality! She can be so much fun! Thank you, Brooke!
This is my favorite picture of her!! It shows her beautiful smile! We have been told by more than one person that she even looks different since coming to live with us! I agree. There is a peace and a calm about her. She looks nothing like the picture that we saw of her 7 months ago...the one on TARE that introduced us to the girl who was to become our daughter! Can you believe we didn't even know she existed 8 months ago???? Craziness!!! God works in mysterious ways! And in less time than it takes to complete a pregnancy, we became legal (and spiritual way before legal) parents of a 15-soon to be 16- year old! Wow!




Can't believe I have a high school student in my home! We are looking forward to dance team trips and football games to cheer on our Bulldog!!!



Her funny side! It's my favorite!

























































Our Princess!








She writes amazing poetry and uses journaling as a way to deal with all that she has been through! Girl after my own heart!
