FIRE


Mom and Dad had a fire in their attic last night. They were in the process of moving to the house Cliff was living in. They just moved in sooner then expected. The fire was where the smoke stack connects to the roof. Nobody was hurt Praise the Lord. It could have been a lot worse.

Christmas

PhotobucketWe had a really nice quite Christmas this year. David played Santa until 3:00 am. He watches movies and wraps presents. The kids and I went to bed pretty early in the evening. We had to wake the kids up to open their gifts. That will all change when we get Hannah. The kids where happy with their gifts. David and the kids had the most awesome T-shirt made for me. Jacob had a cute idea that I have had a baby every way possible. He was my rock baby (natural), Emily was my scissor baby (C-section) and Hannah is my paper baby(adopted) so on my shirt it has their names under the picture of rock, paper, scissors. It brought me to tears. We ended our day with dinner with my parents, grandma and my aunt. I was a nice day!! We hope you have had a nice Christmas too!

Christmas Shopping

Tonight was our annually Christmas shopping night. What we do is I take one kid and David takes the other and they Christmas shop for each other. It is really exciting to watch them think about what they are going to get each other. They have to pick out the perfect gift for each other. After we shopped we went to Starbucks. I have to thank Teresa for introducing me to peppermint steamers they are awesome.Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

One year old



One year ago today we were delivering puppies. We have had contact with all of our families that have the dogs and they are doing great. They have all grown up to be beautiful happy goldens.

15 months

It has been 15 months since our dossier has been logged in. I NEVER dreamed that we would be waiting this long for our little one. We are hoping that is speeds up soon. The last batch of referrals that where sent out were only 6 days. Please pray that China matches all of December 2005 in January of 2008.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Ever had one of those days that seems like it never is going to end? Today has been one of those days. I am so worn out! I am need of a long nights sleep, just like this kitten. I think it would be awesome if we could sleep like cats once in a while 20 hours out of 24. Good night everyone!

Funny!

Football Season is over. . . . .

Yes it is true. The football season is over for me. The frosh-soph Eagles ended with a outstand losing streak of 0-5. However, I did have a good time playing. I am now looking foreward to the baseball season starting at the end of January. Go Eagles!Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
