Santa's "Little Helper" moves in!!!


Well as you can see Santa sent one of his helper elves, Bob,( no offense to you grandpa Bob; Jake took the reins naming our new roommate!!) to keep an eye on the Stark kids and report any naughty behavior directly to Santa!! So Bob the Elf uses his magic to move around the house everyday and take LOTS of notes for Santa! Bob will be coming to stay for the Christmas holiday from now on! Santa knows we need some intimidation tactics around here!!!

Stark's Christmas Tree


















We picked up our tree Tues and had fun decorating it. This is Lila's first Christmas and so far like everything else she loves it!! Since she came home in July she has hit several holidays and 5 birthdays so she thinks life is a party!! The kids all picked out new ornaments this year Cade choose R2-D2, Jake a race car and Lila cute little Hello Kitty's... and they are so cute! We are looking forward to spending Christmas in Charleston with Gigi & Pop-pop with special guest appearance from Grandma & Grandpa Bob, Krystina and Grandaddy Stark and hopefuly Aunt Nana( please come)... even Mable and Lao can't wait to board the Quest!!! We are so happy to have Lila home this year and have our whole family together (finally)!!! Tomorrow is our first post-adoption visit with our social worker Leslie. I can't wait for her to meet Miss Lila!!!!China requires 2 visit at 6mos and 12mos.
Oh and yes the kids are shaving. Last Sunday before church it was VERY quite so I searched out my family to find all of them shaving. Tears came to my eyes as the years had flashed before me.... they were all very serious... and NO they were not using blades!! (In this day and time I feel that I must post all the facts before Dept of Children services are on my doorstep!!!!)
Still no tooth news!!! Jake's rouge tooth seems to be taking it's time fallingout ... anyone shocked! We will be sure to keep this audience posted on any new progress!
