More big news!

We've been so preoccupied with the house, that I haven't posted about much else in our lives. Our big news is- we are adopting again! We started the process in December, in the midst of packing and preparing to move. We knew when we brought Belachew home that we would start the process to adopt again pretty soon. We don't want a big age difference between children, we saw the reality of how many children are waiting for families in Ethiopia, and we felt a peace about moving forward. We completed all of our paperwork a few weeks ago and have been matched with a baby boy! We can't post any pictures of him until our adoption process is complete, but he is 7 months old and he is beautiful! If you see us around, we'd be happy to share a picture with you. We now wait to get assigned a court date, which can take a few months. Our hope is to have our baby home by the end of the summer or early fall. We'll keep you posted!

We love our new house!

We've been in our house for a few weeks now and are getting things settled. I haven't posted much lately because I've been spending every spare minute unpacking and organizing. I'll share pictures as we get things settled. We LOVE our new house! It has been a long, hard process at times, but is so worth it.

My favorite 3 year old in the world


Seriously, I love this kid. Our life is feeling a bit more settled and we are having so much fun together. He loves to make me laugh and he is an awesome kid. I am so blessed to be his mama.
