Ryan is doing great! The second time I dropped him off he cried for about 5 minutes. The 3rd time I dropped him off it was about 3 minutes and he stopped crying before I left the room. The 4th time I dropped him off he cried about 1 minute and said “goodbye, [...]

Ryan started preschool today!!! He woke up at 5:45 am and wouldn’t go back to sleep. He wouldn’t eat breakfast either! All I could think of is, wow, he’s going to have a heck of a day!!
We got to the school and put his back pack and lunch bag away and he immediately started [...]

Tuesday, August 26th was Mike and I’s 14th anniversary. WOW! I can’t believe we’ve been married that long. I remember thinking I was SUCH an old maid at 22. All my friends were married, I literally was the last one! I NEVER thought I would find Mr. Right.
We met at Oklahoma State University. We [...]

We are doing better. Every day gets easier. Knowing we made the right decision helps. We are almost ready to go back on the list. My heart still aches and I still get teary eyed. Today, I asked Jennifer to go with me and together we took back all the clothes I [...]

It is with a very heavy heart that we’ve decided to discontinue the adoption of our precious Evie. We consulted a specialist and it was found that she had more issues than we were prepared to deal with. We know we’ve made the right decision and she will ALWAYS be in our thoughts [...]

4th of July at the Hav’s was a great success. Everyone had a great time and the fireworks were awesome. SO glad the neighbors are so cool about them!! We had about 5 families all around the cul-de-sac setting off fireworks. The kids were yelling OOOH AHHHH! Here is Ryan and his buddy Ian [...]

For our great friends the Conners!! They are leaving this week for Vietnam and their beautiful boy Drew!! I am SO happy for them. They, of course, are on cloud nine! This call took TOO long and even though it was hard, we all know it was in His timing. Thank you Lord for our [...]

One of our forum friends, Deanna, also a Korean Heritage family, received their referral of a handsome little boy today. I asked if I could share his picture with all of you and she said I could. Can he be any cuter?

Congrats Deanna and family!

to decorate baby # 2’s room in greens, with small accents of pink and blue. I think that will satisfy my need to nest and decorate and not be gender specific. I love some of the things I’ve looked at so far. I just have to make a decision and buy it I guess. [...]

So I am feeling the need to nest. However, I don’t know HOW to nest. I could do the nursery in greens and yellows. Or I could just decorate in blue and change it later if we get a girl referral. Because I REALLY want to go pink if we get a girl. [...]
