My step children then and now.

Here is a picture time line of sorts of my kids since I met them. It is always fun for me to remember how little they were when I met them! My life has changed so dramatically since becoming an instant mom. I love them both so much more then I ever thought I could. It is amazing the many things we have all learned from one another. There have been ups and downs but I know for a fact that God led me into these kids lives for a purpose, and I intend to do my best to influence them in a positive way.

This was Takoda and Autumn at our wedding in 2005. When I met them Autumn was 4, and Takoda was 5. (Autumn is younger even though she looks older). In this picture Autumn was a month away from 6 and Takoda had just turned 7. This was before Takoda grew a bit, he always gets mad when I point out how tiny he is to people! :)



This is a picture from their first day of school for 2006-2007. Takoda was going into the 3rd grade and Autumn was going into 1st grade. Sooo Takoda was 8 and Autumn was almost 7.


This was taken this past Christmas at our apartment. We were just about to put together one of those gingerbread house kits. This is the most recent I have of the two of them together as of right now. Takoda 9, Autumn 8. We just got family portraits done yesterday so I will post those as soon as we get them back. I think they turned out adorable!

They really are cute kids, and I KNOW you're the bestest mommy around. You've been so patient in waiting to get pregnant and everything, it's nice to know that when everything's in God's hands that it will happen when it's best for you.
