NYC for Thanksgiving

A Day of Family Bowling

Weekend get away to Philly

Going back a bit

I know I'm going back a bit but I just can't help myself.

We have two little turkeys now or will soon when our little Haitian angels get home. Noah and Beth both have birthdays in November (22nd and 24th). This year Noah turned the big double digits, 10! I cant believe it has been 10 years since this little turkey gave us one of the biggest things to be thankful for (he was born thanksgiving day). This year, we gave him the best birthday surprise by giving him his very own laptop. Clint set up a great scavenger hunt to find it and Noah's face was priceless when he opened it! We probably heard the words "thank you" over 500 times the whole rest of the day. He was so cute about it! I know it is a bit insane to buy a 10 yr old a laptop but he uses it everyday for school so that is how we justified it in our minds ;)



Beth celebrated her birthday this year on Thanksgiving Day. She turned 5! Here is a recent picture of her that some friends who went down to visit their boys took for us. We cant wait for her to be home!

Haiti is ALWAYS on Our Minds

We have recently finished up all of our paperwork for our adoption! The next step is to get all of it translated into French, that process is almost done also. There are a few more steps between translation and turning everything into the Haitian government, particular papers have to be authenticated then everything has to be approved by the State Department and the Haitian Consulate. Once all that is done it becomes a waiting game. We are constantly thinking about our little Haitian angels and dreaming of the day we get to bring them home with us FOREVER!

Our Two Fall Blessings

In the Clifton house, we have two September birthdays within 10 days of each other, Isaiah and Moses. It makes for a very busy month! However, next September we are hoping we get to make it even more crazy and add a third September birthday all still within the same 10 days. Our little Haitian angel, John, also has a birthday during this time. We are hoping and praying that he and Betchina will be home by next fall but until that time comes we will keep on celebrating the two fall blessing we already have to love on, Isaiah and Moses.

Isaiah Naethaniel ~ Sept. 6th

Moses Owen ~ Sept. 16th

Thankful for my little ones
