Risky Business and Feet

After Church on sunday Isaac was channeling a little T!m Crui!e. I was loving it and had Michael snap some quick photos.

Then today I was holding Miles as he was falling asleep; I was struck by the fact that he was growing up so fast. I looked at his nose his hands and his feet. What can be said; I love baby feet.  I love how they are soft, how they are chunky, how the pinky toes look, how they wrinkle, and how babies laugh when you kiss where the arches should be. So after the boys woke up I got out the camera and took some pictures of their little feet. Years from now I will hope that I remember these moments and the way their little feet felt in my hands.

Soaking up the last bits of fall.

Not that I don't love snow, but I just love being outside with my boys. Michael finally got the yard in and we have been living it up well the last week we have had unseasonably warm weather so we have had a few great outdoor moments. 

Ok So I screwed up!

What you see on this blog is what happens when a husband is given the reigns to dress up the blog. As i was searching for backdrops, i found a couple before this one.   The first one was really cool, and when I put the script in to use it, I lost all of our gadgets and our adoption timeline.  So yeah I suck pretty bad at this.  So to forewarn any of you that might think about letting your husband near the blog, DON'T!! 

I chose the Blog Background!

So Ari gave me free reign on making the blog the way I want! Yes!!

Fall Fun

The boys and I are in major celebration mode as Michael has some time off work right now. We are having family cuddles and "group sugar" all over the place. We really love spending time together as a family I am living it up having a second set of hands to dress, hold, and corral the kiddos. 

Miles is a lover of all things party related and has an incredible memory. Last year in October we went to the Harvest Festival and corn maze close to our home. Miles was in heaven. He didn't really care about the corn maze but the party atmosphere was like caffeine for him. He ran pin-ball style all over the place. For the last year every time we drive by the corn-maze location I hear "hey mom when are we going to corn-bellies again." About 6 months ago I started answering "in October baby." Three year olds don't know their months right so he would just kinda wait for October forever; YEAH RIGHT! He has asked since then "In October I get to go to Corn-bellies OK?" Well Sept 26th he informed me "Mom Corn-bellies is open cause it is almost October." I don't know how he came up with that but he was right. We packed up and went to Corn-bellies for a night of total ecstasy three year old style. Above is visual proof.

If the Army would just give me that bonus!

So, Michael here.  I just called Adoption for All Children and found that if we were able to get our formal application in today, we would be #26 on the list.  The receptionist also told me that from the time the formal application is process the current average wait time would be 15 to 18 months.  THAT IS CRAZY!!! Just really wish the army would give the bonus that I was supposed to receive in June!!  We are trying to pay as much as we can with our money prior to getting any loans!
