The House of God

You can look at this beautiful place one of two ways. A place you want to get into...

....or get out of.

Either way, this is where their story starts. Two beautiful people who fell in love.....

And two handsome little boys..............became a FAMILY.

A Beautiful Family....Forever

Feedin' the Hungry Ducks

A friend of mine (her and I carpool our boys) and I took our boys out to feed the hungry ducks of the lower Provo River. I nearly ran out of Cherrios and freed up my pantry of stale or moldy bread. We had fun watching the little ones in amazement as these ducks walked right up to them.

At the second spot there were literally hundreds of ducks being held at bay by three lone geese. If the even attempted to cross the line formed by the trees sticking out of the river, they were chased off. All of them were forced to make due with the soggy left overs that floated a little way downstream.

Those CRAZY Cousins...Need I Say More?

Wow! What A Crowd!

Remember, none of these have been edited so forgive the bad lighting and the few folk that aren't looking at the camera. I will fix all that when I get home and can work on my own computer. Thank you all, especially all the guys, who came. Well have to do it again in another two or three years.

It's FINALLY over!!

I can't believe that it's finally over! It still seems so surreal!! But it feels o good at the same time. We can't wait for tomorrow morning to be sealed to OUR little boys!! It's going to be such a wonderful experience and I hope that the boys will be able to remember at least some of it. Ryan keeps telling me that we're going to Jesus' house and we're going to see Jesus! Maybe he will? I firmly believe that children have a special bond with Heavenly Father and they know more than we give them credit for!

Anywho, after the adoption we took the boys, my mom and Grannie down to Chandler forour 3D ultrasound. I absolutely loved it! I think we'll do it for all of our pregnancies. It was a really special experience to be able to see our little guy. We could really see what he looks like but we can't decide who's nose he got!

Court Info

So, adoption day is tomorrow! Is everyone as excited as we are? I didn't think so!! I just wanted to post some last minute info about the court hearing tomorrow. The set time is at 9:30am but they could be running a little early or even a little late. So, if you're coming, plan on being there about 9:15am at the latest. Otherwise you'll just see us coming out of the court room! Also, bring your cameras! We'd love to see everyone elses point of view of the proceedings so feel free to bring your camera and snap away! If anyone needs it the address of the court house is 1810 S Lewis St in Mesa. It's off of Mesa Drive and the 60 in the Juvenile Court Facility. From the 60 you'll turn right on Javelina, go past the Maricopa County Superior Court and then turn right on Lewis. If I remember correctly it should be on your left side from there. (Peter and I have only been there once. Everything else we've gone to for the boys has been out in Phoenix.) Feel free to call me if you have any other questions or if I didn't explain something clearly enough! We love you all so much and can't wait to see you tomorrow!! :)

To Mindy et al....

Mindy, here's the link I told you about for the treasurebox grocery site. Reiko, you can look, too, but no one else because you couldn't bother coming to dinner on Sunday. (Just kidding. I hope everyone (at least those in AZ) can get some use from it.)
