14 years and counting...

We celebrated 14 years together on April 18th

Happy New Year to You!

A night spent with friends and family, looking forward to all our new adventures in 2011!

1 year and counting...

Dear Emma Paige,
You have had three mothers in your first 9 years of life, that alone is rough, but without the first sets of mothers, you would have never came to us. One mother gave birth to you in far away China and another adopted you and brought you to Idaho. Both mothers knew a better home awaited for you and August 14, 2009 you came 'home' to us. Even though this year has had some ups and downs, we think we have made that turn-around. You have finally found your forever family, Happy Gotcha Day.

O Christmas Tree II

The Fab Five was so excited with their decorated tree! No lights or ornaments at the bottom this year since Jacomo ate them, maybe Santa will bring us a better behaved cat this year?

O Christmas Tree

The kids stand proudly with their choice tree, now where are those lights....

RooMS To Go!

Our kitchen and livingroom got a make-over!

Somethings Happening Over Here....

There's something happening in our neighborhood......I really can't go into details today. But, our nest has some pretty exciting things happening right now. Things that could change our family forever. Would you keep us in your thoughts and prayers for the next few weeks? Would should be able to announce our big news within 2-4 weeks.
My facebook friends thank you for the warm wishes keep them coming until Nicci's News can be shared with everyone.

For Us?

From This:

To This: On our two year anniversary since moving back to Florida we gave our house some 'curb appeal'.

Please Mr Postman

Mister postman look and see, You got a letter in your bag for me....

I have always wanted a designer mailbox and for our anniversary Ed and the kids surprised me with a southwestern coyote!

Tuesday Treasures: Sisters

Hey girl it's me I just called to tell you hi

Call me when you get this

Haven't talked lately so hard to find the time

Give the boys a big kiss

Tell them that I miss them

By the way I miss you too
I was thinking just today
About how we used to play
Barbie dolls and make-up
Tea parties dress up
I remember how we'd fight
Then make up and laugh all night
Wish we were kids again
My sister my friend

Oh yeah before I forget I met someone

I think I really like him

I was just wondering if I'm jumping the gun

Like going out on a limb

And invite him home for Christmas

To meet the family

Oh yeah before I forget I met someone
I think I really like him
I was just wondering if I'm jumping the gun
Like going out on a limb
And invite him home for Christmas
To meet the family

Seems like just yesterday
You brought home old what's his name
He had been drinking
What were you thinking
After dinner he passed out
We can laugh about it now
We've learned a lot since then
My sister my friend
Do you think you could come and see me sometime soon
We could just hang out like we used to
It's late and I should go
But I can't hang up the phone
Until I tell you
What I don't tell you enough
Even though at times it seemed
We were more like enemies
I'd do it all again
My sister my friend
My sister my friend

My Tuesday Treasure is to Tyrene, my sister, my friend.
