O Come All Ye Faithful

Hope loves music and she was playing her piano while the globe was also playing. We think she is pretty talented.

Hope is getting a brother!

Just wanted to update and let everyone know that we are adopting a boy from China. Still working on when but we have accepted a referral. His name will be Levi so pray that he can come home soon. If you would like to help bring Levi home please check our store front at www.justlovecoffee.com/TheSetzers and consider buying some coffee. We receive part of the proceeds for the adoption. We will post more as we are allowed.

Brother or Sister for Hope

We are in the process of completing paperwork for our second adoption from China. We have found a way to help us raise money. Just love Coffee Roasters is a business founded by a family that adopted and they wanted to help other families with their adoption expenses. Please visit our online store and consider purchasing some coffee. A portion of the sale goes to our family toward bringing home a brother or sister for Hope. Thanks.

Fall Festival 09

We had lots of fun at our church's fall festival. Hope loved the bounce house the best. I loved Hope's candy bag the best :)

Happy 3rd Birthday!

1st day of School

Hope started preschool today. She did very well and seemed to enjoy it. The best part was picking her up and getting a huge hug from her.

Don't you love our new aprons. My friends, the Tyndalls gave me these for my birthday. They have ladybugs on them. Hope has started helping me in the kitchen and I was wanting to get her an apron. I think they are cute!

Happy Father's Day

We are thankful to celebrate Father's Day. Hope loves her Daddy and knows he loves her. Scott is a wonderful father and takes very good care of us.

Happy Mama Day!

This was a great Mother's Day weekend. Friday night Scott & Hope took me to dinner. Saturday morning we went to the Farmer's Market on the waterfront and had ice cream Saturday night. Sunday morning I was given a gift certificate for a pedicure and a beautiful card. Also had a good Sunday afternoon nap :) My family takes care of me.

The videos are a treasure. Scott worked with Hope to say Happy Mother's Day and it was hard for her to say Mother's so she would say "Happy Mama Day". The video of the three of us is before church and we were trying to take a picture with the camera on the timer. I didn't realize that I had it set to video instead. That is why we are saying "cheeeeeeese" - too funny.

Fun at the Waterfront

We had fun walking at the waterfront yesterday.

Relay for Life

Our church participated in the Relay for Life. This was Hope's first time and she had a blast. It rained at the beginning so Hope decided to play in all the puddles as she walked. She is so funny.

I was cleaning the blinds in the house by letting them soak in the tub. I thought Hope was in her room playing and I found her "helping". She was in the tub fully clothed including her shoes!!

First Sunday at Second Baptist

These are pics at our new house. We had a good first Sunday with our new church family. Hope found her way into the baby swing and was pushing herself. She made herself right at home!
