Got Anything That Needs Fixing?

Christmas 2008

It was pretty much all about Bryan and everyone was in agreement that Christmas is all about the little ones--we all enjoyed his Christmas morning enthusiasm. Joey is giving Bryan a little help in this photo.

Bryan's First Trip to the Dentist

This picture represents Bryan's attitude before they tried putting fingers and tools in his mouth. The attempt at ex-rays brought crocodile tears and then gagging. Needless to say we'll try that again another time. The $160.00 teeth brushing he got from the dentist was a success. Yeah!

Referral Today!

At about 3 pm today I checked my phone messages at work at it was Amy from Children Home Society. I new this was it. I returned her call, but I had to leave a message. I had to leave work. I didn’t want to get the news then. I drove home quickly and grabbed Julie, the dog. The sun was shining and the snow was crunching and my cell phone started ringing. I took the time to breath before answering the call where after cordialities I was told, “I have good news.” It was a moment that I’m sure has been imprinted on my soul. I hung on Amy’s every word. After she told me about my son I was concerned about his birth mother, so she told me more. After I hung up I just walked and glowed with the knowledge of my son. I knew a picture was waiting for me when I got back to work and I wanted it to wait because I already new and that was more than enough for that moment.

Leaning Towards Blogging

The snow is finally falling and I'm obsessed with the forum on the CHFS website. It clues me in to who are are getting adoption referrals in relation to us. It's all about your "officially waiting" date which is related to when all your paperwork was approved. Our magic date in 12/27/07, so we should be getting a referral anytime, but there are the holidays and who knows what else going on other than my little life.

My obsession has lead me to peruse many beautiful family blogs, which is like peaking in someones windows. My peeping has inspired me to try this again, so I to can share my family and exploits.
