What we have been up to in "the wait"...


  
We have had a lot of GREAT memories in "getting everything in" before 2 big trips to Ethiopia and bringing a new baby home!

 Ellyana getting to go to a fun birthday party painting her first pottery...turned out so neat!


 Swimming with cousins
 These 2 determined to be in the Olympics...he's got the strength to do the high lifts...she's got the graceful moves...it is a funny duo!
 Fun egg hunt with cousins.
 Loved this one!



 LIVING UP Spring Break...ordered their personal pizzas they got for Reading Month.

 Having a great time with the Adoption Playgroup.
 Cowboy/Chef
 2 favorite games of Spring Break
 A couple of GREAT parent reads...on top of adoption books and devotional books we have been trying to get good reading done.

With Symonne coming home this summer our summer family vacation is off, so we did an overnight trip to the town nearby on Spring Break.  Great fun was had by all, just wish it was a little longer!
 The kids loved the arcade.
 Boys first time playing laser tag...they loved it!
 Out-to-eat.
 Hotel pool swimming.
 Joining into the other kids' races.
 Pizza party at night. 
 The free breakfast and more swimming, we were so thankful for our great little trip!
 And now that the weathers warmer, Zach's been having a great time playing with the neighbor boy.  He's quite the little cowboy.
  Brian and I are living by the motto "get another thing off the list" while trying to make the most of our time with our kids, each other, family and friends.  It has made for some late nights but it feels good and we are having a lot of fun!  
As for our "loose" trip planning...we may go to visit Symonne in June and get to pick her up in July!
Can't wait to bring her home!!!!
