It takes a village to throw a Hammons birthday party!

Greetings -
So last week Teddy turned 5 and Tariku turned 6! Hard to believe that the boys were about to experience there first birthday in America! With the invitations sent, the cake ordered and the fun all ready we waited for March 26th to arrive! On March 24th and 25th family began to arrive from around the country to share in this experience with the boys! The boys were lucky enough to stay at Gaylord Opryland the night before the party with Nana, Papa, Uncle Josh and Auntie Megan (allowing Mommy and Daddy and Nana Pat and Auntie Kristin time to get ready for the party!) At 1pm the party bus arrived and shortly after so did the kiddos! We are soo blessed to have such amazing friends to pull off a MAGICAL first American party! Thanks thanks thanks to Designs in Paper, Cakes by Shara, Sweet Face Cakes, Connie Duglin Linen and Master Creations for helping us create this experience! So here is a recap of our day!

Wishing you a MAGICAL Day~

Where does the time go!

Greetings -
Where oh where does the time go! It has been 7 months since we have been home with Tariku and 2 months that we have been home with Teddy! It feels as though they have always been here! It is hard for me to remember what time was like before they came. So many things have happened in this window of time and I promised myself I would be better at blogging so one day the boys would see their whole story unfold! And yet where did the time go - I last posted in February - how is that possible! There is so much I need to share and want to share! So starting today I am going to be a blogging fool! I want to remember those moments that go so fast and are so dear! So until tomorrow take a moment and enjoy the time with your kids - before you know it months will have passed and life will be different yet again!

Wishing you a MAGICAL Day~
