League and tourney champs

Tameka's right in the middle of her coaches. Tameka's team won both league (9 to 0) and tourney (10 to 8) championships. She had such great coaches this year. She had a ball. The team is going to have a pizza party in a couple of weeks. She is so proud of her two trophies. She is starting bible quizing Sunday. Noah did it last year and did really well.

Be praying for Rob and Emily. It is tough on them. I just pray God gives them the strength to get through each day. We are doing all we can to help but after our shifts we get to go home. Emily is there pretty much non stop and I know it's hard on her. You guys in Vincennes are really missing out. These babies are changing everyday. Ethan is really starting to smile and giggle. Sydney is right behind him. Can you believe they are 4 1/2 months old. Come on up and see them, get to know your lil cousins. We would love to introduce ya-all. Anyways, I'm gonna go.

Talk to ya later........

Hello all! Sorry, I know it has been awhile. But, I check the blog everyday to see what is going on.

Missy, love the pictures. The kids are getting so big. It's amazing how fast time goes.

Mel, the pictures of the girls are so funny. Your summer is always full of adventure, isn't it?

Talk to you all later!!

it's off to the Dr. we go

What a big day. The kids all five went to the Dr. to get some .............THREE.....shots. That was fun. All are gaining weight and doing pretty good. Little issues here and there because of being preemies but nothing big. It is so funny to be out in public with them. It's like I'm with a famous group or something...................a lot of people with smiles on their faces or disbelief. It's really fun to see their reaction. I'm glad your out there Missy. I think everyone else is on vacation or something........ha,ha.

love your house by the way. It looks so great. I would love to make a trip to your home. Finding the time before school starts is the issue. I hope we can work it out somehow though.

Love ya all,

MEl

We had a good time this afternoon outside. Thought I would show you some pics. Plus, the "Lake" is done for the summer.

The invitation is still open for you guys to come for a visit.

Love, Missy

Summer

Wow, loved the pictures of the girls. It is good to hear from you. I check each day to see if anyone has anything new to say.

My kids are VBS this week. It is so weird to have them there by themselves and having some down time. They are being more and more independent.

We have so many things we need to do and not enough time or money to get it done. Can any of you relate to that?

Love to you all!

Missy

Look at this mad house. You can tell it's summer time at the donnells because we always have a new face each night. From left to right....Anna (Tameka's BEST friend), Ali, Tami, Taylor (our foster daughter), and moni mae. Girls, Girls, Girls.........giggling.......makeup..........laughing........face masks..........baths........more giggling. Never a dull moment. Anyways.....I haven't heard from any of ya so I'm just checking in. I'm going with Rob and Em tomorrow to take all five in for three Dr. appts. I'll talk to ya all later.

help,help,please help

We are getting two more babies Wednesday. This weekend Rob is taking Emily away for around 24hrs. We need people to come and help with the babies Saturday starting around noon and ending Sunday around that same time. If any of you could come up that would be a life saver. We have vacation bible school this week. I'm cleaning the church while the cleaning guy is on vacation. I have three softball games Wednesday. Noah starts allstar practice for baseball Saturday. The girls start softball tournaments Saturday. Oh yeah and we have a new foster daughter. Taylor is 12 and a sweetheart. We are going to have her for awhile. So now I'm up to six kids. Anyways, if any of you would like to come and help saturday and or Sunday that would help out a bunch. Just call Em or me for more info.....em 386-8445. Me 385-5655. Got to go. I'm on my way to the 10pm to 7am shift with those beautiful babies.
Love ya all,
Mel
