Friends, Family and Football!


 It's September in the South and that means football and this weekend was full of friends, family and football! Friday night Matthew and I enjoyed going back to my high school alma mater to watch our nephew in his first official home game of the season. They may not have pulled out a win, but they played a tough game. Not only was it the first home game of the season, it was also a rival game. It was fun for me to see how the rivalry between the two schools has continued all these years. Cheering on the home team and catching up with friends was a great way to wrap up the work week. We ended the night at the local Sonic eating ice cream with our other nephew and niece. 



As big as high school football is in the South, college football is even bigger. In Arkansas, SEC is king and come game day you better be calling those hogs! Woo Pig!! Today was the start of Razorback football and we enjoyed getting together with friends and watching the game. We look for any excuse to party and the start of football season was the perfect opportunity for some finger foods and fun. The Hogs even pulled out a 31 to 24 win over the Cincinnati Bearcats. We also soaked up the last of Summer and enjoyed some pool time. Football has only just began and we look forward to many more weekends full of friends, family and football!


Woo Pig Sooie!

Puppy Love

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love animals and that I am just slightly obsessed with our dogs! Here is just a little about each of our fur babies. Lady is our oldest at almost 13 and is a Pekingese/Pomeranian mix. Lady will always have a special place in my heart, not only because of her gentle manner and fun spirit, but because of the way she came into our family. I had just graduated with my associates degree and moved back home when we had to travel to Missouri for our extended family Christmas. Once we reached our destination we had to make a Walmart run in order to purchase the supplies needed for the party. As we entered the Walmart parking lot, I was immediately drawn to a small litter of puppies for sale. I somehow convinced my dad to pull over so I could "just play with them." When I entered the pin that the puppies were secured in, Lady left her litter mates and ran straight to me!! She stole my heart right then and there. After some begging and pleading, my...

Family

                                                                         (LeAnne's Family-Christmas 2021)  Family is a large part of our lives and a huge reason we continue on our adoption journey. Our biggest desire in adopting and growing our family is giving a child the love of family we were both blessed to experience. Growing up in a large family definitely had its challenges, but I would not change it for the world. Even though we all have busy lives, we make getting together a priority. I have especially enjoyed watching our nieces and nephews grow over the years and how close they have all become. My youngest sister has even started a tradition of hosting "cousins camp" each Summer. The past couple Summers all 17 kids, ages 18 to 4, spend a few days at her h...
