Here We Come MAY!!!

This has been an exciting week for our family. My niece, Lily, was born on April 30th.


Things are back to normal now with our health and I was fortunate enough to avoid becoming sick. I guess eight years of teaching does do something to building up immunities to sicknesses.

Jaden and I planted strawberries for our weekend project together. He was excited about it, especially the dirt. There was one point where he actually decided to eat some of the potting soil. Yuck.


One year ago today was a very important day for our adoption. We receive our PA (pre-approval from the United States Embassy in Guatemala for us to adopt Jaden). A few weeks later we were done with family court and submitted to PGN. I am so glad we are past that!

I'm Back!!!

So I kinda forgot about the blog...Now Jaden is running everywhere and getting into everything. We are getting over a bad stomach virus here. Jaden got sick on Friday and Jeremy got sick in the wee hours of Sunday morning. I stayed home from work today to be the nurturing mommy and doctor. I hope that I don't get sick. So far so good and I feel great. Jaden and I planted a garden (kid's version) on Saturday and we had our first sprouts today for cucumber and lettuce. Hopefully I won't kill anything, my thumb is a little brown.
