Dossier....check!

Our mac-daddy adoption paperwork is DONE and in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Woo-hoo! We are beyond thrilled and somewhat relieved that it is out of our hands! Now it is just up to God to decide when we travel to meet sweet Olivia and then when we will travel to bring her home. Thank you, everyone, who has been praying for us.

All packed up and ready to go!


We were even able to track the package through FedEx....pretty cool!

Owen Turns 3!

Last Tuesday, was Owen's third birthday. He chose to go to Chic-fil-A to celebrate....


And because his birthday is so close to the Fourth of July, we always have a hard time planning a party. We ended up having it on Sunday. He wanted a baseball party at the pool...and that's exactly what we did. Thanks to Duane and Suzanne for allowing us to crash their pool. Everyone had a great time eating hot dogs, peanuts, chips, and of course cake and ice cream. Here are a few pics from the party.....
