if ender sees water, there is no getting him away from it (we’ve even found him IN the toilet, literally…GROSS!!…there is a video somewhere on twitter…)
it was raining outside and daddy brought him outside to play!

So E doesn’t crawl anymore really…he’s such a big boy now!  He is totally attached to his blankets these days, he walks around with them everywhere he goes (as long as it has silk on it, he’ll take it)…it’s really cute now, but I am sure when he’s walking around with a noopy and blanket [...]

Ender is 15 months now…and he has finally decided he feels like walking!  He started last night…we were eating dinner w/josh, nichole, steven, ashlyn and mitch trying out a restaurant for Josh and Angela for catering ideas for their wedding (yay!).  Me and Ashlyn were outside with E b/c he was cranky in the restaurant, [...]

Here is Ender’s reaction to the pictures of his new little sister:  april-09-olive-referral-073.JPG.  He loves her!

We received our referral yesterday and are THRILLED!!!!  She couldn’t be more perfectly beautiful!  Her eyes are big and gorgeous, her lips are so cute and pouty….she is more than I could have imagined!  She and E will only be like 11 months and a week apart…yay for having 2 two year olds for 3 [...]

So last night was crazy!  Michael was at a wedding and I put E to bed at 7:30 and watched tv for a while.  At around 9:30 I went to check on him and he was sitting up in his bed wheezing and couldn’t catch his breath.  I rushed around trying to find my phone [...]

Our dossier is almost finished, just waiting on our completed homestudy and it can be sent off, YAY!
I talked to our case worker at the agency today, and she said there are a few other families ahead of us waiting on an infant girl, so it looks like it could be up to 3 months [...]
