Yep! We're a FOURSOME!
Okay so I'm in no way able to share what the past few weeks have been like for us here in the Angle home, but I thought I'd shed a little light on the fact that we are now in fact a family of FOUR because I realized that most people haven't a clue what has happened, and rightfully so since we haven't told many people, merely because it all happened so fast!
Every child's journey to their parents is different. Ezra came to us through the courageous love and sacrifice of his brave birth mom. Our sweet Ainsley fought really hard to find us, and it took her almost a full 10 months.
We were happy with our life as the Tri-Angles's, and besides going through the steps to not let our state certification lapse, we were't really thinking much about adding to our family (I mean seriously, Ezra isn't even 2 yet!) But after being contacted through a friend of a friend of a friend (and we have to thank Brielle AGAIN for being our baby match maker), we had the chance to meet the sweet girl who in fact was our daughter!
She had been being loved and cared for since birth by an amazing foster family, and they wanted to help their case worker find this precious girl HER family. And they did! So about 3 weeks ago we met her and got to spend lots time with her since then. Just last Friday we were legally able to start the adoption process and Saturday (yeah, yesterday) she was placed in our arms & hearts. How amazing right!?!
I'm going to rest here, I'm not even close to being able to process this whole experience. I love adoption, I know that our child are ours--they find us--sometimes by any means possible! We're so grateful for all of the love and support that's been poured out upon us so far in this super short time! I'll share a few more pics of our little peanut, sweet Ainsley baby. She's us. In all ways possible. And boy is she loved!! Ezra is already such an amazing big brother too! It's as if he remembers her, it's so amazing to see them together!

Serious Picture OVERLOAD (No, Seriously! And random!)
So don't worry, I don't consider myself a "blogger" anymore, I mean, how could I?!? I haven't written or posted anything consistently in forever. This multitude of pictures dates back to August 2011! And boy there are A LOT of pics!
Pre-First Haircut at The Roose
Ezra did such a great job and honest to goodness loved getting his haircut for the first time! He loves Ashley though and is super comfortable with her. It was so awesome that Timmy could be there too! He's such a great dad! And LeAnne took some awesome pictures! (I was video tapping the grand event.)
And who coulda thought that this kid coulda gotten any cuter??? But he DID!
The Caped Crusader... getting ready to carve pumpkins for the first time!
We had so much fun carving our pumpkins and playing with the gunk! I love that Easy Love wasn't afraid to dig right in!
Christmas Eve & new PJ's!
Santa brought E bomb presents this year! A motorcycle & work bench!
{Early} Christmas morning at LeAnne's & Ben's. The kiddos made out like bandits! Spoiled a bunch by Gram Cracker & Grandpa Angle!
Seriously I have like 13 pictures of Tim from Christmas mornings exactly like this one... This will be the first one that he's holding a rake while he's sleeping, however!
Christmas day was a little crazy for us... Phoenix in the way early morning, home to change outta PJ's and load up the rest of our presents, and then off to my Dad & Jenny's for the rest of the day. Ezra wasn't even aware that Santa even came to our house too! As soon as we got home that evening we showed him his loot! He ran straight to the bike and hopped on!
Backwards at first :)
But it took him seconds to figure it out!
Then he ran over to his work bench and grabbed a hammer. He knew just what to do!
But then of course it was right back to the motorbike! Just like his Daddy!
Getting ready to go outside to play!
He's such a worker!
Outside has to be E's favorite place! He wakes up asking to go outside, "Peeze" of course!
He's got a good arm...
...watch out, Daddy!
We love when our friends Joey & Raynee & their kids come to play!
This was them ALL DAY!
Yep, he just had to test out.
We spent New Years Eve just the 3 of us this year (we had a mini celebration the night before with friends). It was such a great way to ring in the New Year! Ezra LOVED the fireworks!!!
At the dirt bike track.
Of course he had to have his bike ready to ride too!
I love these pictures of Timmy's dad & Ezra. So precious!
He sure does love his grandpa (ALL of them!)
That's pure emotion right there! Playing with the mud scraper!
So as you can see by the like 50+ pictures, we've been busy having lots fun! And Ezra's growing like crazy! More to come soon...

Francis E. Harper said, “Every mother should endeavor to be a true artist. I do not mean by this that every women should be a painter, sculptor, musician, poet or writer, but the artist who will write on the table of childish innocence thoughts she will not blush to see read in the light of eternity and printed amid the archives of heaven. That the young may learn to wear them as amulets around their hearts and throw them as bulwarks around their lives. And that in the hour of temptation and trial the voices from home may linger around their paths as angels of guidance, around their steps, and be incentives to deeds of high and holy worth.”
