January 10 on the 10th

(Blog post slightly edited. Was falling asleep writing this last night.) 
**********
Hello. My name is Amy and I don't have any original ideas so I'm copying off of my friend, Kathy. :) Just kidding. The truth is that Kathy is A W E S O M E and I loved this idea so much that I knew I had to try it for myself. :) The problem has been REMEMBERING to do it. The past 2 or 3 months I've remembered halfway through the day and by then it's too late. (If you want to read Kathy's blog for yourself you can see it HERE.)

So, here it goes. On the 10th of every month you are supposed to share 10 pics that document your day.

First I woke up and got breakfast for everyone. Just cereal.

Then we did a little school. (Didn't finish it all but will for sure today.)
 
Then we made signs to welcome Phin home. Our college friends adopted him.
Then we went to the airport to welcome home Phin Smith from Ethiopia. Dad James went and got him. Mom Kelly had already met him in Ethiopia a month ago. Sister Halle and Brother Judah met him for the first time.

After dinner the kids played a little hide & go seek.

We went to church a little early tonight so the kids would  be able to play basketball for a while. Here I am playing with Alison. I love this bball. :)

During Awana we sang Happy Birthday to Caleb Manwiller.

When we got home from Awana, and all kids were in bed, I did Cardio Party.

 I read the passages in the Bible that I needed to read today so that I can finish reading the bible in 1 year.

Finally, I popped some popcorn and got a super book- Forever by Karen Kingsbury. I finished it. YAY!! I ♥ happy endings. I feel like I AM a Baxter.

Great pics, Amy! :) so glad you joined us!

Don't forget to go to the original blog and link up! I can't remember the website off the top of my head, but it's on my ten on ten blogpost from yesterday!

It's so fun just to add that different twist to the day, isn't it! :)

I LOVE this idea! I'll have to see if I remember to try it next month. I might need a reminder. ;)

We have friends who just made trip 1 out of 2 to Ethiopia to meet their son. Ethiopia changed their laws so they have to travel 2x now. They go back next month, I believe, to get him. I'm so completely excited for them to get to enjoy parenthood! It's so cool that you got to be there when your friends flew in. :)
