Bradley's dedication!

When Bradley was almost 2 weeks old, we dedicated him to the Lord in front of our church friends and family! We are so blessed and thankful that God had given us Bradley! Pray each day for his spiritual upbringing and that one day, he will surrender his life to the Lord! That same day, I was blessed to have a baby shower! Thanks everyone for all of your generosities!!

My BFF Kristin had her baby boy just 2 weeks before Bradley was born! His name is Kyden! Kristin and I are only 2 weeks apart as well, so this was pretty darn special!

Oh I love my boys!!

Brody and Bradley...name confusion at it's finest!

Cute boys!

Meeting my family!

When we came over, Bradley's family came over to meet him! Grandma Cheryl did have a hard time sharing him however! We are so blessed to have the honor to care for another one of God's children!

Bradley rooming in with us!

After spending 3 nights in the NICU, Bradley got to spend the night in our room!! Yay! He was hooked up to cardiac monitors (big ol noisy pain in the rear if you ask me!!). But it was worth it cause we got to pick him up whenever we wanted to!

Me with my boys!


Grandma Cheryl! My mother was simply amazing! She came to Tulsa with us, spent long nights and days taking care of Shelby and Charlie at the hotel and was a big help to us! We could not have done it without her!

Our friend, John drove to Tulsa to meet our boy! Thanks John! We appreciate it!

My handsome guy!

Bradley meeting his brother and sister for the first time!

Bradley was 2 days old before he got to meet Shelby and Charlie. Since he was in the NICU, we had to scrub their arms and put gowns on them before they could see them. When Shelby first held him, she only did so for about 1 minute and then informed us she was done. We told her to wait for a few minutes, so she fed him! Charlie asked Bradley if he wanted to play playdo with him! We (and all of the nurses) were rolling on the floor laughing! Too cute!

Welcome to our Family Bradley!

Well better late than never, right!! Our 2nd son and 3rd child, Bradley William Mark Cleary came into our lives on August 24, 2009 at 935 pm! We got a call unexpectedly from his bio mom that monday afternoon saying her BP was through the roof, so we instantly packed and headed for Tulsa! We packed in about 30 minutes and hit the road! He is so beautiful and perfect! We are so blessed to have him! The following pics are in reverse order...you'd think I'd have it by now!

Our sweet little son, Bradley! He is so darn cute!

Yes...I am here world!

Big Brother and Big sister waiting anxiously!

Bradley weighed in at 6 pounds, 14 ounces! He was 19 1/4 inches long! He spent the first few days of life in the NICU because he was breathing really fast. Praise God he is doing so much better now!

Shelby starting her 2nd year of School!

Our sweet little daughter started school today! She will remain in the Developmentally Delayed class until her 4th birthday and then she will be slowly transitioned into a regular pre-school class! We are so excited for her amazing progress and are shocked of the transformation she has made in this past year! God is so good to us!! Charlie will start at Mustang Education Center next week...he will be receiving speech therapy 2 times per week! He is excited about going to school! They both will receive head start homebound services this year! I'm looking forward to some structure!
