We are home! We had a fabulous week away. First we enjoyed a few days in Portland with Scott's sister and family and then 4 or so days at Scott's parents house (thanks to Kim and Vaughn and Loye for letting us come). We had a great time just hanging out and being together. The kids loved playing with their cute cousins... it was amazing to watch Meili, Maren and Paige play so well together. (she loved baby Abi (sp? - Abigail)and baby Isaac) And, finally the 5 year old boy cousins played really well together!!! Yeah!!! I love it when they hit the age of enjoying each other.

When we got home we were lucky enough to make it for my niece (on the other side) b-day party (they actually brought the party to us (thank-you :) ) Happy b-day Rylee!!! She had most of her cousins here to celebrate with her. Our kids are going to go through cousin withdrawl when they have to go back to school on Monday.

Today we have waited 80 days since Pre-approval. Our agency was closed Thursday (of course), and Friday so on Monday hopefully they will have 3 days worth of packages delivered and hopefully one of them will contain information for us. Mckenzie is getting very excited to go... Scott and I talked about it today and we are pretty sure she will be the one who goes with me.

I found this pretty song on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSV5xW-NLu8 I love the songwritter and singer... I think he is a Christian singer and he writes a lot of songs about adoption. If you have a second take a listen :)

Have a great weekend!!!
