ZACK LOST A TOOTH!

My baby has finally lost a tooth!  He has been agonizing about being the only second grader who has not lost a tooth and now he has finally joined the ranks of the the toothless crooked smiled kids ;o)  He did have to have the dentist pull it because the tooth behind it was really coming in and he was kind of reminding us of a shark.  Here is the after shot ...

Zoo and Pumpkins

I worked a half day today so I picked the kids up early and we went to the zoo.  I know this is something our North East friends can not do right now given all the SNOW!  (hey got to hold something over all your heads)       We had a wonderful time and there  was a couple of new babies and an addition

                                                    to the play area!                                              

                            We also did some pumpkin carving.

No News...

Hey all no news yet on the adoption.  There has not been any referrals the last two weeks I am just hoping we are not going to go through another dry spell!  Keep you fingers crossed :o)

Pumpkin Patch

Here are the pictures of our wonderful time at the McCall's Pumpkin Patch...

More Referrals!

Our blog buddies Kane and Dawn Webber received their referral for a 7 week old baby girl!  I am supper excited for them they waited 6 1/2 months.  We have now been waiting 6 months and 4 days I am feeling very anxious that we could be next or very soon, but at the same time I feel it may never happen...  I know it must be close because even Jon my cool calm and collected man is jumping whenever the phone rings :o). This wait is making me a little nuts!  I know after we know who she is this ache will finally subside, oh but wait then I have to wait to go get her.  I am guessing this wait will be just as tough or even harder.   

Our Tucson Family is in town so we are going to the Pumpkin Patch today.  I will post pictures soon. 

Referrals...

Referrals have come in this week 4 were baby girls and one baby boy.  Congrats to the families!  Two of the girl referrals were for families that submitted their dossier 2 weeks before ours.  I hope that this means soooooon!  I am kind of bumming today this process has been a lot harder than I thought, with all the emotional up and downs of the WAIT.  My boys keep me so busy but I find my mind wonders often when it comes to when will that phone ring and it be OUR turn.  I know the wait is nothing like other countries but it is still a tuff one.  I feel at this point she is out there somewhere needing me and I don't even know her yet.  It is also hard on the boys they ask all the time when is my sister going to be here, can I put this toy in Hasina's room for her, when Hasina is here  I am going to show her how to play this, or when my sister is here she can sleep in my bed or I will sleep in hers :O)   They are just so sweet and are going to be amazing big brothers to their sister!  That's all for now but cross your fingers it's soon, I don't know how much more I can take... (JK)  It's all in G-d's hands and I know he has the perfect match for our family somewhere out there.
