A VERY BIG DAY COMING MONDAY

Right now our emotions are running wild..We are holding onto a very special blessing coming this Monday...That is when my brother and sister-in-law go to probate to finally have Tyler turned over to them as legal guardian. Then after 6 months he will legally be their son..Tyler is 16 months old and they have had him since he's been about 3 weeks, without going into all the details, he is one very special precious little boy. My brother could not be happier nor could Tyler not be in any better hands than the ones he is in, in this picture. Just look at the two of them.

Here is our little guy walking at our home on Thanksgiving...He has the biggest bluest eyes...

Not only would he be getting a wonderful Daddy here is a wonderful Mommy and a big sister that just loves him to pieces..

So I'm asking for prayers for Monday, that all goes wonderful and that they are finally legally his parents and family...

What a gift it will be this Christmas for us all......

Blessings and Hugs,

Jolyn

LOOK AT ME I'M ONE YEARS OLD

Saturday we celebrated my nephews 1st birthday. Look at those big blue eyes.... All those gifts and he is chewing his sock...

Autumn took Tyler thru the in closed slide, lets say it was not his favorite.. They had his party at their church, and they have this toy room you can rent. It worked real nice for all the kids.

Tyler was not into his cupcake. He is a very picky eater and wanted nothing to do with this at all. So we thought if we put a couple gold fish crackers in the icing maybe he would try it..No way he tried picking the fish out of the icing...My Michael didn't get into his cake either.

Here is his little cupcake. we were all singing happy birthday to him here. I pray for many more wonderful years for him. We love you Tyler...Every time he see's me he just laughs..hmmm why is that...
I pray you have a very wonderful week and as for us here in Ohio stay warm and don't get blown away....with this windy weather...

Till next time,

Jolyn

FAMILY, FRIENDS & FOOD

I am so fortunate to still have my Grandpa. This is him and my Autumn Saturday night. Grandpa is 84 years old, and oh the stories He tells, I could listen for hours. I love when we sit and he tells me all about his parents and when they all came over from Italy. Grandpa doesn't talk much about the war he was in, but if I ask He will and some times he pulls out all the old pictures. Anyway Grandpa has such a scense of humor and loves to make people laugh.
So Saturday night when he came over, he had filled a bag up with jewlery that he has purchased here and there over the years. He laid it all out on the table for Autumn to choose which piece she wanted for her 14th birthday. He had the best time laying this all out, while we sat just laughing and looking at each piece.

Good times, fun, friends and laughter. Here is Sydney my niece in the blue, Kylie a dear friend in the middle and Autumn.

My brother and little sweet baby blue eyes Tyler. My brother just loves this little guy, They have had him since he was 4 weeks old and going through circles with the system, and laws and everyones rights, except what will be best for the child. Please pray for them, and the whole situation. first that the adoption process, that it will finally end and they will know Tyler is definately theirs. Please stand in prayer with us.

Her is my niece Sydney, she was showing us her cheer. She is going through what we went through back in May. Try outs for 7th grade cheer leading is this week. Sydney we wish the very best sweetheart.

Sydney is watching Autumn, Kylie and Kelsey do their cheers and they were giving Sydney advice for try outs.

Have a wonderful week everyone and enjoy every day like its the last..

God Bless,

Jolyn
