Summer Fun

We had a lot of fun playing at the Family Fun Center in Wilsonville.

We played miniature golf,

went on bumper boats,

rode go carts,

and bounced on the sling shot.

Happy 7th Birthday Faith!

This last few days have been full of celebrating at our house. On August 7th at 12:10 pm Faith officially turned 7. She had a party at The Gymnest, a BBQ with all of her grandparents, and a dinner out with us. From the start of the adoption she would tell me her sister would come home when she(Faith)was 7. Here's to praying she was right!

Zoo Fun

We had a lot of fun at the zoo with our friends Jamie and Katie.
Say cheese!
Two friends out for a stroll.
We have to get every last bit of cinnamon and sugar from our elephant ear.

August Referrals Arrived

The CCAA has sent out referrals for this month. They made it 7 more days to Novemver 21, 2005. If they keep going at this pace we will be getting a referral in about 5 months. Keep us in your prayers. This wait can be tough on all of us.

We're Off to the Fair!

We had a lot of fun at the county fair. Daddy spent the afternoon working in the Dairy Women's ice cream booth to earn money for the school while the kids and I did some exploring.

Our favorite part of the day was watching the draft horses compete. This group has one named Emma and one named Grace.

Playing in the box.

We recently bought a new patio set. Well this meant we got a really big box. Of course we had to turn it into a house.







I love this picture of Emma. Not many people see the silly side of her. I don't remember why she was laughing so hard. Isn't it beautiful!

Referral Update

The CCAA website has been updated for this batch of referrals. They are now up to November 14, 2005. They made it through another 7 days. If they continue to go 7 days at a time, with a LID of December 26, 2005, we will see a referral in Jan/Feb of 2008. Here's praying they will speed up!
