I know it has been awhile since I updated the blog...between general busyness and my dinosaur Sony Viao dying a slow death and replacing it with a MacBook that I haven't learned how to use yet, I'm a little behind on my blogging.
I do have good news on the adoption front: Gladney plans to start giving out referrals again this week! We do not believe that we will be a part of this group, but we are SO excited to watch others who have been waiting for so long and through so much adversity finally get to see their children for the first time and move forward with their adoptions. I plan to do some serious blog-stalking this week, and I'll keep everyone posted as the referrals go out so that you all can share in the joy!
Isaac started his career with Edward Jones last Monday and has had a great first week of studying for his Series 7 Exam. His study guide slides includes a lady literally speaking aloud and teaching the study slides...sounds like a foreign language to me! However, I think Isaac is enjoying learning this foreign financial language and is so excited to be in his career.
Now that I've figured out a way to post some pictures on this crazy new computer, here are some pictures from the LifeCare Ladies' Tea on March 26th. My mom and dad were in town that weekend, and my mom helped me make my table look pretty...it wasn't looking so hot before she got here and added some crafty elements. The tea was so touching...it always is and Ms. Karen always makes me cry...they shared an adoption story that really got my waterworks going and truly helped me better pray for our boys' birth mother in a deeper way. Thanks, Ms. Karen and LifeCare for ministering to me when I was supposed to be helping you!

My table...and no, I didn't sew anything this year! Sorry to disappoint!
I tried to make this year's table easier to set up and clean up...pretty paper plates and napkins from Target and "crystal" Chinet cups were tossed at the end of the tea, my guests cleaned off the goodies bags, and Sam graciously took home the UT Vol orange planter~even though it is orange, I did love it, it just didn't blend with the decor in my home but totally belongs in her kitchen!
I sponsored my table with my professional name and offered some cosmetic specials to attendees...I enjoyed seeing some patients at the tea and seeing those pretty special cards made by April coming into the office this past week.
