Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Had court last week. The biological parent's of L & D had their parental rights terminated. We are officially the adoptive placement for them! The bio family does have 30 days to appeal. We are hoping they won't as it will add another year onto the adoption process. At this point (if no appeal) we hope to finalize the adoption in October. Thanks to all for the many, many, prayers!

-- I am waiting to hear from my social worker if I can now post their cute little faces on my blog...

Last Day of School Party!

I am not a big birthday party kinda girl, so decided we would start a new tradition and throw a Last Day of School party. I put on the invitation that rain canceled so I am not a COMPLETE nut. Only hitch was that it started to rain right as children were getting off the bus. Several children did not come because of that, but those who knew me called and had them come on over since we seemed to be on the very edge of the storm system. Between those children and the one's that got off the bus with my children we had about 20 in attendance. We ate our ice cream sundae's while it rained. Weather cleared up just after we had finished up so went outside for slip-n-slide races, water balloon fights, a cheese maze, and a water game. Had a blast. Could not have pulled it off without my Mother and Sister-in-law, Elicia who also got to come watch L & D's preschool programs that day. I have to say Drew was the CUTEST plum (from the book The Hungry Caterpillar) ever! Lauren's group did a cute little song.
