1 Little, 2 Little, ...

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm pretty sure our Thanksgiving lasted about 3 weeks. Kicking it off at Maxwell's school with the Feast of turkey and goldfish. Then moving right along to my side of the family. After fun times of playing in the leaves, we attempted a group shot. Not so successful. However, you will see we actually had much success the second time around! Pretty impressive huh?

We then moved on to Nashville and Charles' side of the family. Maxwell and Elliott are currently the only 2 grandchildren so you can imagine the attention ;) Well this year was no different. Welcome to the authentic Indian outfits and headdresses from Oklahoma (Jill you could probably find these somewhere...) So I introduce you to our 2 little Indians. (and if I hadn't already ordered Christmas cards, pretty sure one of these would be our picture):

(christmas card would probably the one above. it's just too funny.)

maxwell's war call

and finally elliott's magnificent rain dance. where do they learn these things??

Anyways...let the craziness of Christmas begin and enjoy it!

Here We Are

Well it's about time for this blog to begin. And mostly this is for me to remember our life at this point, as my mind is pretty full.I can barely remember to take my boys to a birthday party, much less all of the details of our life. This will somehow become our life journal I'm sure.
What to expect from this blog: Fun family updates, pretty cute pictures, adoption updates (which I know is why most of you are here anyways), and maybe a good book or 2 to read (since that's my only hobby i love). What not to expect: Craft projects, recipes, money saving tips on grocery shopping (that would be my sister's blog) or how the cute pictures were taken and with which camera lens (I have no clue), or anything else you might find on some crafty mom site. So welcome, have fun and an enjoy!

And yes, I'll go on and get to adoption update number 1 which is pretty minimal to most, but big for us... we turned in our application to adopt a little girl from China on last Tuesday, November 16th. Let the roller coaster begin... Can't wait to see how God unfolds this journey to bringing our little girl home!
