Back to School

It's that time of year again. The kids are back to school. Lucy is pretty upset to lose her "kids" during the day. She spends a lot of time pining away for them. Here's to another great year of learning and growing!

CCAA Update

AUGHHHHH!!!!!!! There, I got it out. The referrals have been sent and they got through 4 more days. They are now up to November 25,2005. With our LID of December 26, 2005, we are looking at three months or longer before we see our baby girl's face. Congratulations to all who are getting their referrals this month. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to wait. :]

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.
