Lilypie Waiting to Adopt tickers

Thursday, July 15, 2010

Hello! We have been busy here enjoying the sunshine. We got a little pool (10 feet in diameter, over 3 ft deep) that barely fits in our little backyard and the kids have been having fun with it. Dason and Caden are officially swimmers, due in part to bigger pools we have visited. Brett just celebrated his 30th Birthday and I surprised him and took him to San Francisco for the night. It was so relaxing and fun. We walked across the golden gate, had lunch in Sausalito, went to Chinatown, Union Square, ate dinner at Cheesecake Factory overlooking Union Square. Brett insisted on buying the boys fake nunchucks at China Town which of course broke immediately. So being boys, they invented a new use for them where basically Brett and them just whack each other while they wrestle. It's foam and so you can smack someone as hard as you want and it doesn't hurt. Ky loves her little Chinese dress up dress we got her. So fun having a girl after the two boys. Can't wait to see what two girls will be like. Enjoying the summer before we start school for two kids for the first time. (one in first grade, one in Pre-K) As far as the adoption goes, we are really praying that we can bring her home by Christmas. The more time that passes that more unlikely that seems, but we can hope and pray. Just found out we are sixth down on the referral list. So hopefully we can see our baby girl's face for the first time very soon!

Maybe we need a bigger pool...

Thanks for stopping by. Wish we could share a cup of mocha together and just talk. It's hard when everyone decides to move away and start their only family after college. What's up with that? Me and Brett are working on buying our own island and then everyone we know and love could come live there and we would never be apart again. Until then, we will communicate through technology like the rest of the world. If you know Jesus we will all be reunited in heaven anyway and that's way better than the whole island plan because those cost a lot of money and Brett isn't good at saving it. I am always trying to get him to save money and not spend it but he always blows it on frivolous things. (if you know Brett, you know that's a total joke; the man could be in the middle of the desert parched and not spring for a glass of water)
