Well. It's official. We have a 6 year old in the house. I no longer have little ones! While I love chubby cheeks, developing language, and toddler clothes... I am really enjoying the stage of life our kids are in. Even though we've had a Spider-Man themed birthday before, Israel was 100% sure he wanted to do it again. Thankfully we have every ...

The First Day of School
Well, here we are. All back to school. You know what that means. It's time for all the first day pictures. I, for one, absolutely LOVE seeing everybody's pictures on Facebook and Instagram because it truly is just such an exciting time. I love that parents celebrate the First Day. I love that kids are excited. I just love when people love ...
Getting Ready for Back to School
Can you believe it’s time to go back to school?! Our children have been counting down the days until they get to step foot inside of their school. They love everything about being in school which always makes going back a little bit easier. This year we have a 4th Grader and a KINDERGARTENER!!! That’s right... both children ...
Joelle’s 9th Birthday Party!
It's been a good three years since I've blogged about Joelle's birthday. I'm not real sure how time has gone so fast, but it definitely has. And blogging definitely went to the wayside! Before we get into the good stuff, let's talk about Joelle's birthday: 1. It always falls during the first week of school... also known as the BUSIEST time ...
Joelle’s Baptism and a Family Update
Well this was an expected and very unexpected week all in one. Lets start with the good because God is so good. This past Sunday Joelle followed Christ in baptism. In July, at our Vacation Bible School, Joelle really began to understand sin and God's good love. She has been asking about 'becoming a Christian' for over a year now, and until ...
We’ve got a 4-year old!
Well, our littlest little turned four last week. He had been anticipating his birthday for quite some time. He decided on a Spiderman party a couple of months ago and asked where his Spiderman cake was approximately 6,000 times. He checked the mail several times as if it was going to come through the postal service, ha!His ...
Christmas :)
At this point I am 9 months late to posting, ha! But, let's back track and talk about what Christmas was like with Israel home!First of all, I'm sure he had not a clue what was going on. He hadn't been home long and our house had red and green EVERYWHERE. Sparkly lights. Presents Galore. Big Fat Man with a Red Suit. ...
The 1st Day of School
Today was a pretty big day in the Lemons' household.This little guy started preschool today! He has been talking about going to school for weeks now, so he woke up and immediately wanted to get dressed in his school clothes :))) And Joelle is officially a 2nd Grader. I can't even believe that my baby girl is old enough to be in 2nd ...
Happy Birthday Joelle!
Things have been pretty quiet here on the personal blog. We've had literally zero news to share about our two adoptions. Things just aren't moving at all. BUT, we have so much to celebrate still with Joelle. She is just such a blessing in every way possible. She's kind-hearted, sweet as pie, well-mannered, and truly a ...
Life Lately
Well, I am just going to throw this out there... I'm terrible at updating this little blog. Unfortunately, time just gets the best of me and Instagram/Facebook is so much quicker than writing out a blog post. BUT, for the sake of memories, I decided to do a "what's been going on lately" write-up! So, in no particular order, here's ...
