It is final!

We finalized Heidi's adoption on Thursday! We feel so blessed to have her in our family.
As you know this adoption was full of delays and final court was no different. After waiting 2 hours it was finally our turn and the fire alarms went off, and we had to evacuate. Can you believe it? It was actually a perfect end to a not so perfect process, but Heidi was worth it all!!!!

Also, this week we went to the Deanna Rose Farmstead with some friends of ours. It was so much fun. The kids got to fish, bottle-feed goats, mine and ride a pony. It was so fun watching Ethan and Devin catch fish! Heidi was so excited to finally ride a pony. She just loves them. Below are a few pictures from the day - it was so much fun.

Have a great week!

Happy 4th of July

We had a great holiday!

The kids got to see their Uncle Jeff, Uncle Brad and Aunt Dawn. They love to see them.

My Mom and I had a surprise shower for Brad and Dawn. They are expecting their first baby in November - a little girl. They are naming her Dylan Lucille.

On the 4th we went to our friends. Each year we go to their house for good food and fun. Their neighborhood always has an elaborate fireworks display. The kids have fun playing with all the other kids.

We also found out this week that we will be finalizing Heidi's adoption on July 13th! We are so excited to finally be completing her adoption. It was a process full of many delays, but she was sure worth the wait! She is an amazing little girl that fits wonderfully into our family. We are so blessed with our three children.

On that note, for those of you who may not know - we have started the process again! We are now officially waiting for another daughter(this time from South Korea). We can't hardly believe we are starting this process again, but we would like the kids to be fairly close in age. We are hoping for a referral in the next couple of months, and she should be home 4-6 months after that! We are praying for a smoother process this time.

Until next time...
