One Month Waiting...

Today marks One Month on the Waiting List for our babies! This month has been MUCH less stressful than the months before! We've enjoyed the cooler weather in FL, spending time with family and friends, and doing a little bit of nesting...

We started replacing some of the carpet in our home with laminate this summer to help our cat Gracie get over a little habit she struggled with and to prepare for easier clean-up of kid messes, too...here Isaac is relieving the stress of waiting on Immigration and practicing his ninja skills by kicking down the silly half-wall in our entryway which we were both so happy to see gone!
After getting tile-removing acid in his eyes and cutting open his arm on a shard of flying tile, Isaac got smart and put on some protective gear for the rest of the project.

Bebe sent the first UK apparel for the boys and made UK blankets for them, too. Mom is looking forward to taking the boys to Rupp, and Isaac is dreaming of them playing basketball for UK-no pressure, kids!

Saturday, we visited with the Lillys...Adelyn and I matched in our pink shirts and jeans, and she was so proud of her leopard shoes...so cute! Isaac and I enjoyed learning all about Thomas the train and friends from Adelyn and beating her parents in spades while she napped!

Saturday night, we met up with (l-r) Donna and Gabe and Katie and Aaron at a Brazilian steakhouse in Orlando. If you can't see the resemblance in the picture, Gabe, Aaron and Isaac are brothers. Gabe and Donna are getting married in May and live in Jacksonville. Aaron and Katie got married last December and are currently living in Alaska. Aaron and Katie were in Orlando to visit Reformed Theological Seminary where we are hoping and praying they will start attending next summer! We had so much fun catching up and are looking forward to "meeting in the middle" in Orlando at Katie and Aaron's place soon!
