Sweet Feet, Praises, and a Bucket List!

Is there anything cuter than Lily's sweet, little painted toes?
I have a feeling these will end up being the feet of a talented pointe ballerina........if you look very closely, you can see the callouses on top of her toes, because she walks on her toes all the time. Not like walking on her tiptoes, she curls her toes under and walks on them. I've never seen anything like it!
Kaylee wanted Madison to take a picture of us yesterday, because she took that picture of Madison and I the other day.
My friend Bethany, over at Happyascanb, posted her bucket list the other day and I thought that might be fun to think about. It goes along with the whole "One Month to Live" theme we're studying at church too. This is much harder than it seems and I'm sure I'll think of more things later too.

Oh, before I forget..............I have FABULOUS news!!!! Do y'all remember my friend Serena from high school that had a brain tumor and I asked you all to please keep her in your prayers? Well, they operated on her and she's been on chemo and her last report was that the tumor has not returned and things look really well!!!! I see her on facebook and she is one of the strongest, most courageous women that I know, and throughout the entire thing, she NEVER stopped praising God! Thank you so much for joining me in praying for her!

Okay, so here's my list in on particular order:

1. Write a book about my story of adoption, loss, faith, and God's overwhelming love!
2. Visit Hawaii with Morgan and the girls.
3. Take the girls to Disney World, because I've never been either!
4. Have a convention with all of my blog friends! I want to meet each and every one of you!!!!
5. Sing at the Grand Ole Opry. (Is this supposed to be realistic? I don't care! LOL!!)
6. Witness all of my loved ones who are not saved accept Christ!
7. Own a maternity/baby boutique.
8. See my girls grow up and have children of their own.
9. Publish my Mom's adoption story that she wrote to me in some form or fashion. Hey, that gives me an idea! I think I may do that here on my blog. It's a great story!!!
10. Grow old with Morgan and have our home become the gathering place for our children, grandchildren, and other family members to come home to for the holidays.

Cute piggies and I love your list. Adoption? I am new to your blog fairly so I would love to read that story.

I liked your bucket list! I want to do some of the same things on your list.

The adoption story would make a good book. God worked all of that out.

Glad that you and Lily had lunch with your Aunt and that little Zach is doing ok.

And I love those pudgy little feet!

Glad Kaylee had her best day ever.
I like the pictures.

Love, Linda

Well, so far today, the only place I ended up making it to today was Target. Oh well, guess I'll have to get to the other places after naptime!

I LOVED the pics you posted! I'm telling you, you are one cool mama to do manis and pedis. I don't really do all that fun stuff. That's my sister's job around here! :)

So glad that Serena is doing so well! Praise God!!!

As for your list...you have so many great things on there. Maybe one day we can be co-owners to the maternity store. I used to want to own my own maternity store here a long time ago, but seems like in this town little mom and pop shops like that don't seem to stay open for too long. It's kinda sad actually.

And about the idea for a blog friends convention, consider this my RSVP, LOL! You know I'd love to meet everyone in person some day too!!!

Okay...back to work! Love ya!!!

I am so glad your friend is doing well...all praise to God.

I would LOVE to hear your adoption story. I read the one you have linked, but from your mom's view would be beautiful too.

Love the bucket list...I have to write my autobiography this weekend for our next home study appt. so I am thinking more of my past than my future this weekend :) Maybe next weekend I will do a bucket list :)
Blessings,

I love all the pictures you have been sharing with us lately of you and the girls. Very cute!!

I loved reading your bucket list! I hope that you are able to accomplish each and every one of those things!

What cute toes!!!!
Love your list too!
Let me know when the convention is, I will be there!!! :)
I am with you on Hawaii, we just got back from Disney. It was a fun place. Your girls would love it. We ate with Cinderella twice. And, when you sing at the Grand Ole' Opera, let me know too, because I will make sure to be able to experience that with you too. I watch it on Tv some times. But, I may just hop on down there and watch you live. :) What an honor that would be! Dream on though, because dreams do come true!!!
Loved this post,
Christy
