FFF U-Pick Favorite February Foto

Like Hannah it is hard to just pick one. This last month or so Cameron's personality has just blown up. And I mean literally. The 3's may kill me! This child has such a mind of his own & always has but add that to the terrible 3's and let's just say Mommy has grown some grey hairs.

 

Since it's been cold out and I don't like going outside unless it is above 30 degrees we have been doing a lot of crafts. Cameron is really getting into painting and doing stickers.

I was sick last weekend so Dan took Cameron to the train museum. He is really getting into watching them.

But we did go play in the snow. He loved having me pull him around in the sled.

And even went to see Pappaw T. (my dad) do a basketball shooting clinic at Miami for the local YMCA kids. Cameron was a little jealous. He made sure they knew it was his Pappaw.

Cameron enjoyed a fun sucker!

But I think Cameron's favorite was seeing Sophia. These are so crazy & fun to watch. It is so awesome to see how much they have grown up and how much fun they have together!

I am really loving taking pictures of Cameron lately. He loves to finally show me his big smile and yell cheese really loud! He loves being silly when we take pictures. The closer we are getting to his third birthday (next month) the more personality he is showing. And believe me this kid is bossy and stubborn but is also so sweet!

Opening his Handy Manny bike from Nana!

What is better than M&Ms!

I actually have a couple ones that I just love. Cameron was very into opening gifts this year. He was still careful about ripping the paper off but it was so fun watching him. Once I cried experiencing it through my baby's eyes. And it was even better since we had to wake him at 10:00 to open gifts!

Just a little update!!

Ruthanne passed court! I can't wait to see how her trip to Ethiopia goes.

Come on let's get praying!

Ruthanne's court case is on tonight to find out if she gets to bring home sweet "Bear." You can go see her post here to find out why it was postponed. Please go visit her blog and let her know you are rooting her on. I love this woman & can't wait to go and visit her, Andrew & sweet "Bear" next summer. I am praying she passes so I can go do a little shopping for her boys!!! Hugs to her & her boys!!!

Just a little off subject! But for a good cause!

(Adela is the on the left. She is the oldest in her family.)

I will be posting about our Christmas craziness later today but wanted to really do a post about a very special girl who has touched our hearts greatly. We sponsor a student to go to school in Guatemala through Mayan Families. I love knowing we are helping a young girl get her education. Young girls tend to drop out of school b/c their families cannot afford to pay for them to attend school and need to help their family with their siblings or making money. I love this organization so much. They make sure we receive updated pictures of her all the time. We also get letters, pictures she draws for us and her report cards so we can keep up with her progress. She asked us to send a letter & pictures which I am working on now. We did a garage sale this summer and used the money to buy her an onvil stove (alot of families cook over fires which is very dangerous) and some baby chicks. It was such a sight seeing her smile in those pictures after receiving both. If any of you would like to help just one child, just one family please consider donating to Mayan Families.

Please pray!

I met Ruthanne via the blog/FB world. She is a wonderful mom to Andrew also adopted from Guatemala. She will find out tomorrow if she passed court (which actually happens while she is sleeping) for her 2nd adoption from Ethiopia for her son named Bear. As a bonus you all can finally see how gorgeous he is. (I already know! Hehe!) I so hope she passes and gets to go pick up that baby. I don't know how she is going to do it raising two boys by herself but she will be rewarded with more love than she ever thought possible.
