My kids adoption case worker called to let us know that he and his supervisor picked an adoptive family on Friday. 🙂
We are hoping to meet them and have a Q/A this week. Hopefully tomorrow if the couple can swing it.
Feeling happy/sad about it all. Big things. All the feelings….. We really are going to miss them when they go.
Also this little lady LOVES watching the monsoons whip the trees around. It’s fascinating and exciting.
We had this awesome fun family United for Adoption BBQ to go to. Jon got sick so I decided to Mom up and take the five solo. Because I’m an idiot.
Holy crap. I was trying SO hard not to cry driving home after. I did curl up in my bed next to my sick hubby and just cry it out with lots of whining. LOTS.
I cannot take R anywhere without Jon. He doesn’t like me and thinks it’s funny to hit me and throw things at me, and just plain not listen. Ever and at all. I was SO emotionally/mentally/physically drained after this party. I did not have fun.
The kiddos had lots of fun so for that reason alone I am glad I Momed up and took them to play.
He doesn’t look terribly scary does he? But boy, oh boy is this one exhausting. He had fun in between meltdowns which where always….
Olivia knew I was coming and asked what pinata I was going to make. Because a party+Janice= pinata. BWHAHAHAHAHA! I asked her what kind of pinata I should make. She chose a cornucopia since it was close to Thanksgiving… Reasons I love Olivia.
This is me making an effort (I did promise Shannon) to be IN pictures and not just take them. And little Monkey slept most of the party. She’s good to me like that. 😉
Jake and Cole's hotel had an indoor pool. So we of course HAD to go swimming. Nothing like a cousin snow day followed by a cousin swim day. I love family vacations!
We spent more time in the hot tub than in the heated pool. And this was the day we kidnapped Barry. I really like how his shirt turned out more every time I see it. I need to make ones like this for Jon and Regan. 
Kaylee was steaming coming out of the pool. Also I love that she insisted on wearing her little shorts. "I just don't want my tushie to show."
