About Me

My name is Tracy and I am married to an amazing man, his name is Thomas! We are a busy family that is always on the go between church, school, work and sports.... we are not a sitting around kind of family. We have 4 amazing children and are working on bringing home Elias to make 5. My hubby is Deaf and I am a sign language interpreter,we are very involved in the Deaf community and are excited to be adding another Deaf member to our family. Our kids, Aaron-19, Luke-11, Tommy-10 and Paige-5 are anxious for their new brother to be home. This is our second adoption and we are learning more everyday to lean on God, this journey is already strengthening our faith! We are working on learning how to turn everything over to God and know that He has a perfect plan and all will happen in His time! Good things come to those who wait.

Our trip to the playground

Yesterday we went to the local park while Tommy had soccer practice and I took Paige and Luke to the playground.  It was obvious Luke has never been to a playground and he LOVED it! I think he could have stayed all night if his stomach didnt tell him it was time to eat! Luke is growing stronger and more brave by the day and he has gained quite a bit of weight in the month and a half he has been home, 7 lbs to be exact and he is no longer the skinny boy we met whose ribs were sticking out. Actually he has a little belly now hahah! What a joy to take to the playground, we laughed hard and he played hard and he is such a good big brother that he kept a vigilant eye on his sister when they were seperated on different activities. What a beautiful day it was!


                                             My Paige, she is such a joy!
 I am pretty sure Luke thinks he is a high fashion model with all the photos I take, he loves to pose now (oh and this pose was his idea not mine hehe... such a change as in China I had to trick him to take pictures of him!)
                                                    Luke and Paige posing for mommy!
                                                      Me and My girl! (photo credit to Luke.. he is quite the photographer!)
          Paige hanging on to her big brother as they get ready to go down the slide together!
                  Watch me go head first mom!  She is such a riot and a  gorgeous little girl!
     Luke learning how to swing on his own ,nope they didnt teach him that in China either! :( 
                                                        I think he could swing all day!
