Family Pictures

A dear and sweet friend of Chris's family took some family photos for us. An unusual amount of wind kept us inside, but we were still delighted with the outcome. I've always loved seeing how families change and expand through the years as displayed in their family pictures!

Growing by Two Feet

Our family has done a lot of living this past month including a girl visit from the Hanlon side, a week in Hilton head with Chris's extended family, and my trip to NJ to be with my mom during her surgery. I'm looking forward to posting about our adventures but this post is dedicated to a different adventure.... the Kirk family adoption. Chris's aunt and uncle (Stephen and Amy Kirk) are in the process of adopting a little boy from Ethiopia. We cannot wait to welcome this little one into the family! In anticipation of his arrival, the Kirks have started a blog to document the process. All I can say is you are in for a treat if you have not seen this blog yet. Please check out their blog. They also have some sweet giveaways this week (can I say Vera Bradley?!? and an adorable baby quilt?!?). Here's the link for "Growing by two Feet" Check it out soon (especially if you're interested in the giveaway....it ends soon!).

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
