Category Archives: Day in the Life Those of you who have gotten to know us–know that the Young’s are always looking for a reason to celebrate! Life is just too short…SO this weekend we are celebrating the LAST weekend of summer…for US the last weekend before school is officially in season. Laney will start preK on Monday (WAAA!) and Parker will […]  FIRST…thank you for all you INCREDIBLE families who commented on my last post about adopting first!!! I encourage you to go check out the comments and amazing blogs of these families! Be encouraged as they follow the Lord in adopting first!!! And absolutely…I think our next adoption post needs to be about families who started […] way to go Parker!!!! i must admit, i hated losing teeth… i liked the tooth fairy, but did NOT like to pull out a tooth! So cute!!! Love that little Frank! Our little monkey didn’t seem to talk FOREVER…but finally we’re getting hilarious little sayings out of him too….I really should blog those before I forget =) Picture of Isaac and Frank is AWESOME…and I love the feetsies of all four…and I’m super jealous of your house BTW 😉 i LOVE Isaac’s butt…its so big and cute! :0) Hope you dont mind me saying that! also i am in love with the pic you took of all four of them on the chair and then their feet! LOVE it! Adorable photos! Parker…you are Evangeline’s hero! She has watched you pull your tooth over and over.She wants to loose a tooth SO BADLY! Yup…there she is now…trying to wiggle one loose:) Frank is looking so much like Parker to me in these pictures! So sweet! Ha! That is the SAME tooth that my Cheru just lost yesterday! It was his first tooth, too! Precious photos and priceless updates on your adorable family! we had so much fun yesterday…look forward to many more morning just like it (minus the big kids). thanks so much for having us over…and for the donuts 🙂 ♥ Oh, there’s nothing like the early talking of a toddler. My 1 yr olds favorite words until recently were trash and bulb (meaning light bulb), and he always said them with such gusto and twang it would crack us up. Months later, he is still obsessed with all things trash related and changing light bulbs (too bad we have so many compact flourescents). Love all the pics and updates 🙂  (turn music off up top before watching – click bottom right play button to watch the slideshow…) I love that there are 4 sides to the kids table…but they only use one I love playing with my little man’s hair…here is a new line of fun that I found at Whole Foods… We have been […] sweet, sweet, slideshow! and the kinky-curly worked GREAT in his hair! i can tell a huge difference and that’s just in pictures! thanks for trying it out for us! Awesome slideshow…thanks for sharing! And good work mama on educating yourself with the haircare…its looking GREAT! =) it looks like everyone had a great time, especially isaac temesgen! :)) Love the b-day pics! His hair looks great…I’m sold! We’ve tried a zillion things and there’s still some frizz…plus the chemicals are starting to scare me! Thanks for being our tester/reviewer. 🙂 Cute slideshow! Looks like it was a very happy birthday! happy birthday isaac T!! can’t wait to meet you sweet boy! he is a doll! love his beautiful skin. I used to doubt anyone could fall in love on-line.  I took about 300 pictures during the party…which I think I can narrow it down to half that many for a slideshow of fun–but I thought these told a fun story and gave another sneak peak into Isaac’s FIRST birthday so I just have to share! The yummy cake (made by the Cake Shoppe)…Isaac’s invitation […] LOVE these birthday pics!! And I am so glad you got a pic of Jett! Haven’t seen her in years…she looks great!! And you and your sis look so much alike! How fun to have a sister so close in age…and proximity! 🙂 love all the pix of that sweet, smiley ONE YEAR OLD boy! so glad that frank is feelin’ the love. LOVE the bday pics! But the brotherly bond and learning more about you and your sis is priceless! Andrea these pictures are BEAUTIFUL! Happy Birthday ITY what a FUN birthday!!! i am SO excited to see Frank LOVING on ITY! oh my word..what adorable pics of his bday party! he looked SO happy and i LOVE the cake. so adorable! Our 10 month old baby girl has kindey reflux, she just got diagnosed last month with it after going through some tests. As of now the doctor wants her to be on meds for a year and than they will retest her again. The best of luck with your little man, I hope that you get good news!!! oh!! i would LOVE for you to homeschool…I can’t imagine all the great ideas you would come up with!! =) we are on day #2 of homeschooling and it is going really well. next year i hope to be adding a new student to the class;) These pictures are adorable. Funny story…I had Caleb with me at our school’s new families pool party the other day and Harris and April’s kids were there too. The cute thing was that April’s littlest looked at Caleb and called him Isaac. 🙂  Ok…may take me a bit to put our birthday fun into a slideshow for your viewing pleasure—if you want a sneak peak though…go look at my previous post to see our family birthday party. SO SWEET! Of course the Dentons and Aunt Nisia’s crew are always here—they ARE family to us! Aunt Nisia has not […] Thanks for the great hair advice. I was at Sephora looking yesterday and came home a little dissapointed. The product I was looking for wasn’t available. I’ll have to look at my local stores for Taliah Waajid products. Love this photo of you, Frank and Aunt Nisia! God is so good with His provisions! Yay! So excited to know about really good hair products for Caroline Faith…these sound great! oh yay…thanks for telling us about these products! i will definitely check them out. Has she told you anything about what age you start doing anything product wise for boys hair? Our isaac is 7 weeks old and his hair is still silky soft wave curls but I notice the day after his bath it seems drier and flakier and didnt know if I need to do anything even at this age? |

these pictures are BEAUTIFUL…as usual 🙂
oh.my.goodness. i sat here with tears in my eyes watching the little video. all the kids’ faces are PRICELESS and then there is my little wiggly wild man. LOVE IT!!!
thanks for capturing these moments, andrea!
can’t wait to capture so many more with the littles while the big kids are at school!
Gorgeous pictures. Can’t wait to meet you someday. Love those Carley’s yes we do!!!
oh i love the pics and love how you celebrate stuff like that! I want to do the same! i just love the way you take pics! Is your room that white and beautiful or is that effects? also i just giggled when I read your comment about Isaac’s belly touching the cushion…that is WAY TOO CUTE! :0)
Oh April, this momma doesn’t have time for effects…so that room is really that WHITE! It is the ONE place in my house that stays white! How? I have no idea…but it has so far:). The kids say, “The white room!!! Quick get out of here!” So funny!
Oh, how I wish we had a Krispy Kreme close by! After living in Georgia for almost 9 years we came to LOVE them. Now living in NE, the closest one is 90 mi. away. 🙁 Our kids LOVE your children and like to watch the videos of Isaac over & over (eating green beans, the popsicle..) When I say – come look at the pics of Frank – they immed. know who I mean!

Love the pictures! Andrea, I always look forward to seeing your posts. I love how you make the most of each day and truly enjoy these times with your kids. They grow so quickly! My oldest just turned 20! Not sure how that happened so quickly. It’s sad to have her off to school (in CA and we live in OH), but know that she is in God’s will. Continue enjoying and thanking God for the blessing of each day!

Those Ethiopian babes are just about the yummiest thing I’ve ever seen! And Frank with the donut is hilarious. You must save those for his first date. Or wedding slide show. Good luck, Mama! I’m sending one off to preschool soon, so I’ll probably be crying in my coffee too!
Andrea! I just love your blog! The pics are too cute and that sweet little Frank. . . I could eat him up! Hope you are doing well. Jenni (1in17)
WOW! What a blessing to have the family of friends from church. I love how God provides.
And your photos make me want to enroll in a photography class NOW!
What gorgeous shots!
Love & Blessings from Hong Kong,

loved the spider lesson…see, you are a natural homeschooler! =)
yesterday while out 2 lunch after church i spotted a family that had a couple little adopted loves and i went up to the mom. i told her we are adopting from ethiopia and she invited me to an ethiopian adoption support group here!! i didn’t even know it existed. so glad i ran into her!
So sad Krispy Kreme went out of business near us! Probably better for my waistline. So makes me want a KK and a Mild and Mellow coffee (think that is what it was called…it’s been too long)! My mouth is watering!!! Love the pictures!!!!!! Thanks for chatting Sat.!
