Our Newest Addition!!!

Well we've had a very big day around here!  I've known since we announced that we were adopting that this day would come.  Honestly, I can't believe it already has!!  We have looked at several pictures, read profiles of a few that are available.  It has been a little overwhelming at times, but we finally made a decision and it became official TODAY!


So, without further adieu, I'd like to introduce everyone to our new (to us) . . . .

'07 Honda Odyssey!




I can now haul all three kiddos (and their friends) comfortably.  It was a little sad to say goodbye to the Accord- I've it had for 10 years and all 130,000 miles!  But it was definitely getting a little cramped in there and it was time to move on.  The kids are IN LOVE  and having a great time climbing all over the place and discovering all the hiding places in it!

On the adoption front, I still feel like I need to wait a few more days to make any BIG  reveals, but I will say that yesterday afternoon I got to hear the words "Congratulations on your match" over the phone and we are now anxiously awaiting our acceptance paperwork package to be in our mail box.  This evening I got to see something really fun.  For some reason, I went back to the waiting child photo listing site (don't know why I thought anything would have changed on a Saturday night).  But, to my absolute delight, there was our precious little one's face with the words "I have a family" written across their little picture!!  Yes, sweet one, YOU HAVE A FAMILY!  And we can't wait for you to get here.
