We went with my sister's family and my Mom to a gorgeous vineyard right outside of Franklin on Saturday night for a picnic supper and to let the kids run and run and get all their wriggles out. The live music and gorgeous scenery were a perfect backdrop to the children running up and down the rows or grape vines and snacking on the sweet (and occasionally sour!) grapes. A lovely way to sit back and enjoy a summer evening in July!

(And yes, I took a hundred photos. Actually, three hundred and fourteen. Be glad I can edit even as much as I do!)

Hazel ate a pile of steamed yellow carrots with spinach,
{and gave y'all a sneak peek at the newly painted black dining room walls!}

we got to play outside with two very sweet and handsome young American citizens,

Oliver may have pushed his sister a leeeeetle too high in the baby swing,

and when they all laid down for a nap, he and I enjoyed a little Veggie Tales movie on Hulu while we both got our craft on.

Oh, and did I mention the weather is warming up?
Yes, those are my tulips breaking through the cool earth to the warm and welcoming sunshine. Come on up, little guys! We can't wait to see you!!

Hurrah! They're ours! Finally and officially ours! We went to the courthouse this morning and had the boys' final adoption hearing along with six other adopting families. What a joyful morning for so many people! And now, Moses and Augustine Faires have birth certificates on the way saying that they belong to their Mama and Papa forever!

We have so much for which to be thankful!

Gusty ADORES his Papa. He is the sun and the moon.

Taking time to admire the pretty ceiling at the courthouse.

Already favoring one another, don't you think? :)

Oh yes, and sweet sister Queen Bea was there.
She is loving having these little playmates at home to dress up. And they adore her.

Praising the Lord with the growing Faires family today!

"For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved."
Romans 8:22-24
