About Me

My name is Tracy and I am married to an amazing man, his name is Thomas! We are a busy family that is always on the go between church, school, work and sports.... we are not a sitting around kind of family. We have 4 amazing children and are working on bringing home Elias to make 5. My hubby is Deaf and I am a sign language interpreter,we are very involved in the Deaf community and are excited to be adding another Deaf member to our family. Our kids, Aaron-19, Luke-11, Tommy-10 and Paige-5 are anxious for their new brother to be home. This is our second adoption and we are learning more everyday to lean on God, this journey is already strengthening our faith! We are working on learning how to turn everything over to God and know that He has a perfect plan and all will happen in His time! Good things come to those who wait.

    My little sick boy

    Well Luke is sick for only the 2nd time since he has been home which is now 14 months (WOW!! I cant believe it has been 14 months.. he feels like he has always been here...)

    I wont type much just let his photos speak for themselves... WE do truly truly LOVE this boy with every ounce of our bodies and every ounce of love we have. What a great addition to our family he has been. Praying for him to wake up healed tomorrow!

     This was Luke and I last weekend at Tommys soccer game (we froze our butts off!)
                          Dad, Aunt Amy and Luke during half time of the game
    My Blanket pal!
                                     My beautiful kids before their haircut day!!!
    Paige, Tommy and Luke

                                                                    Brothers!
                                                 The brothers sporting their new haircuts!!
    Luke practicing his math (I had just taught him triple digit multiplication and he SO GOT IT!)
                                 Hanging out with mom while fighting with his fever
                                    Not super happy to be sick, but still super cute!
                                  Getting more pathetic as the days roll on.. Day 3 of being sick....
                         Resting in moms arms  ( I think he could stay there all day! not that I mind!)
                                                             Just chilling and trying to sleep but it isnt working..

    Today is another PROUD momma day!

    Luke came home with his report card today and this momma is THRILLED!!! I cant beleive how far Luke has come in such a short time! It truly is mind blowing! He has become an amazing son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and in such a short time. He is an amazing student and his character in school is incredible! I love his work ethic and self motivation. Those qualities are qualities I would love to see more of in myself! :) He got 9 (yes I said NINE!!!) A's and 1 B.... WAHHOOOOO! How about them apples for a child that just one year ago and 10 1/2 had no language or education! Take that research that says the window of language learning is hard to open after 5 years old. HA we ripped the window right off the sill baby!!!!!!  My boy is learning and learning well! He was literally adding single digits in September and now just yesterday came home multiplying fractions and doing perimeter and such! The boy knocks my socks off!  He came home the other day with a Science test that he got a 21 out of 22 on and it was all about Conducters and Insulators  and Magnets and such and I was like.. '"ummm you dont really get this stuff you have 1 year of language under your belt.... " Well needless to say I was schooled by my boy as he gave me a huge lesson on how those worked! HA I love his brain! I love his heart and I love that boy!  Just wanted to give a shout of praise for my boy!!!!!! GO LUKE!!!


                                                     Here is the precious report card!!!!!!!!!
                                  Paige and Luke at the park yesterday! We had a ton of fun!
                                   My handsome boy, he is getting so grown up!

    Our fundraiser for Luke's brother is almost over!

    Ok Guys just TWO and a half days left of our fundraiser! Thats right it is AlMOST OVER! If you are thinking about buying some Thirty One products NOW IS THE TIME!!! We could use the help (not going to lie) and you could use an awesome bag or two (that might be a fib depending on if you need a bag or not!) But seriously we are hitting the end of our amazing Thirty One Fundraiser! Consider helping us out! THANK YOU!!!!

    Some sign language videos of Luke to share!

    I am uploading two recent videos I took of Luke. I am trying to document his signing progression. I did voice his signing so those who do not know sign language can watch too!

    The first video is one of Luke signing some of his sight words. These are old sight words that he has not practiced in a long time but he knows them and he wanted to document them on video. We will do some newer words soon. He is signing so well and learning so fast that he is quite an impressive young man!




    The next video is one of Luke and his 5 year old sister, Paige. Every night for at least a month now the two of them meet in either Paige's room or Luke's with me and they read stories to me and each other. Paige signs her story and then Luke signs his. It is so cute and precious to watch that I had to share. They are normally much more animated but they also knew mom was recording and I think it added some pressure and stress so they are not animated, but they are signing well. Luke's story is below his reading level now but I was trying to keep it short so that I could upload it. We will try a longer one later! Enjoy, I know I do!!! Plus I just love the special bond that Luke and Paige have, they are ALWAYS together and such amazing brother and sister together.


    Hope you enjoy the videos and we will be posting more soon!!!

    Fundraiser for my brother, Elias!

    • THE WORRELL FAMILY THIRTY ONE FUNDRAISER

    •  
      Where:ONLINE!!!

    • When: March 1st through March 26th 5:00 pm
       
      We are in the process of adopting 8 year old Elias from Southern China. Elias is Profoundly Deaf , and one handsome little boy. We are more then anxious to bring him home to our family.

      As some of you know the cost of adoption is pretty darn expensive, but we cannot put a price tag on someones life. Every child deserves to know the love of a family. We scraped and saved and scrimped and fund-raised and applied for grants to bring Luke home and now we are again saving, scrimping, scrapping and praying and praying and praying for the funds to bring our precious son home to his family that cannot wait to welcome him with loving arms!

      From this fundraiser: 100% of the commission from all sales goes to the Worrell Family Adoption Fund to bring home precious Elias!

      Make sure you check out the March Customer Special when you are looking at your order. For every $31 in product a customer purchases, they are eligible to purchase a Mini Utility Bin (item 3787) for just $8. This is a $14 savings! There is no limit on the number of customer specials. So, $62 in purchases qualifies for 2 customer specials, $93 qualifies for 3, etc
