A bit behind. . .

We had a great visit (over a week ago!) with Bill and Judy Slease. We visited Temple Square, Park City, a few fun places to eat and finished Addy's swim lessons. Brad and Bill even got to go fly fishing 45 minutes away from our house. We really enjoyed their company and Addy liked getting to know her SOPA and Gramma Juice. Here's a slide show of their visit.


Addy has changed so much even in the last 2 weeks and she's recognizing toys by name, cruising around on the furniture, walking holding onto only one hand and doing LOTS of babbling and funny faces. She has also started a strange fake laugh. You wonder what's so funny. . .



I've been a little slow getting back in the groove since that visit because I've been in a funk. You know how it is when the next exciting thing on the horizon is not that great?! Yeah, like Brad having to go out of town for 5 days soon. :( Bummer.

But, we're getting back into it slowly. After egg blowing up in my face and all over the kitchen yesterday (don't ask!) and a good cry, I'm feeling better. Funny how little things (the egg thing was not little though!) can send you over the edge when you're in a funk. I'm praying that God would work on my emotions because they're all over the map these days.

Anyway, something else we'd like prayer for. . . Some of you know that we'd like to adopt. We planned on starting the process early this year and then we moved. We've been a little stumped trying to start over getting to know the process and agencies here in SLC. We spent several years in Denver getting to know the adoption community, volunteering at adoption events, traveling overseas to orphanages and learning from other people's experiences about adoption. Well, we were hoping to be well into the process by now but. . . we're just barely starting here. We'd appreciate your prayers about how to proceed, how to select an agency and what type of adoption to do.
Thanks!
