Adoption update

(The children walking the beam at church.)

I got a call from Hannah today. I missed the call actually, but she left a voice mail. I listed to the voice mail and then FREAKED out. In a VERY good way. I was jumping up and down and squealing with delight. AND very glad I missed the call so I could compose myself before calling her back.

The children where looking at me like, “Oh, boy. Mama’s LOST it!”

We are FINALLY certified. Meaning if a sweet birth mom picks our family to parent her baby we are good to go!

It also means our profile is live. I have added links and buttons to our side board.

IF you would be so kind and willing to help us out by spreading the word that we are hoping to adopt that would be AWESOME! Just grab our button and add it to your blog. We are hoping that it will increase our blog traffic, and there by up the odds of our birth mom finding us, and us her.

So after I calmed down a bit I called Jon and told him the happy news. Then I called Hannah back. We had a lovely chat.

I am just SO SO SO happy to not be in the limbo of waiting to be certified. Now we get to experience a whole new limbo. Waiting to be picked. A.K.A the finding phase.

Which is a better limbo in that I can do some stuff. Like ask for people to help us spread our information. And ask people to keep us in mind if they hear of any situations.

So that’s what I’m doing. Please, and Thank you!

Regan’s PaRtY!

This is Party day.


This picture of Regan sums up nicely how excited he was and how much fun he had at his party.

We did a Toy story theme this year. Regan was briefly Mr. Potato head.

Little Green men cupcakes.

He was also briefly Woody.

I think everyone had fun.

So I didn’t realize until downloading pictures that we didn’t get any pictures of all the other decorations. Bums me out. I found these really neat Andy’s drawing recreations that we printed and hung up. I have them hanging up in Regan’s bed nook. Maybe I’ll get a picture of them there….

Anyway we had a banner, streamers, and TONS of balloons.

We played pin the badge on Woody, and get the snake in the boot. Here I am explaining that they would each get three tosses.

First little guy got it in on his first toss. I panicked at that point as I had promised prizes to all who got the snake in the boot. I thought I was going to run out of prizes… He ended up being the only one to get it in.

Regan was THRILLED to wear his hat and blow out his number three candle.

“Regan, say cheese!”

He did NOT want to stop playing to open presents. Uncle Josh had to get Regan’s little bear to comfort him as he was forced inside.

He got over the trauma of it all quickly. And enjoyed opening (Watching Josh and then Jon) gifts.

He finally got his super cape. He LOVES it. He HAS to wear a cape when watching Super Why.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one Jodi made for him. I LOVE that he has two. Meaning one to play with and one for back up when the played with one is in the wash. He has been enjoying both capes.
