Days a getting few

Well today I am at home again, still waiting to start my new job but not at all in any hurry! We (Evan and I) have been watching Dora and Diego everyday when we wake up 4 shows total, 2 of each. Today is no different but after this we plan on going to the park to ride bikes. Tomorrow we have a meeting with our SW which is exciting because we get to see all the newest children available and their SN so that is something to look foward to!
Evan has been so amazing lately, he is so expressive lately getting down on the floor , looking at me all lost and saying "MOMMY, WHAT R YOU DOONING?". He just says the smartests things all the time. He was asked to be involved in a word psych test at the university to see how he associates words and such, I know he will rock!
I have been updating my blog on my phone so I dont really get the chance to add photos and such but will asap. This weekend we are going to get all ready for halloween and carve pumpkins. I have been telling Evan about it for weeks and he is super ready. Then the weekend after this is pretty uneventful but the next is Evans 3rd birthday at Jumpzone. It is a huge building with all those inflatable thingies in it but they are huge, the best part, PARENTS CAN PLAY TOO. I really must admit I enjoy it almost as Evan they have a 20 ft slide and you can really gain speed on that thing. Evans cousin had his party there and we go once every other week since May it is a blast and so calming.
We did finally get the garage cleaned out and had our anniversary dinner, pics to come soon! I am just so ready for the holidays in our new house, I feel like we can actually celebrate them now that we have a place! Besides Evan is grasping the concept of having a tree for Christmas and the pumpkin for halloween which he did not last year. We are having the whole family up to our place for Thanksgiving and Christmas so I will really enjoy cooking for everyone!
I guess that is all for now I will update after our meeting tomorrow.

Another day....

Well this weekend the boys are our of town; Ethan is camping "guys weekend", Evan is at his "yaya's" and Moses is at my Grandmas so it really is just me. Thankfully saturday night(tonight) is girls movie night so I am alright there.
Last night I watched an adoption journey video and it made me really realize how much I am so ready for Lillian to be here already and today I want clothes shopping for her. I got the cutest little spring Gap dress it is sooooo precious. I cannot wait for her to get here, although we did hit a little snag last week. Our agency said that we could not adopt out of birth order and there had to be a year gap between the two but we got it all sorted out and we are meeting with them next week to talk through our options.
Other then that I dont really have an update yet I am just running around getting all the paperwork done right now so that once I start working it will be easy to just send it in. For example PASSPORT I did not even realize that mine expires next December and since I dont really have any international trips planned till June I better get it done now. Besides it still has my maiden name on it so I needed a new one anyways. Also my marriage certificate is gone??? no clue where it may have ran off to but I have to order another one of those so just little stuff.
We also have to get all of our INS stuff done fingerprints, x-rays, bloodwork ahhhh so exciting but it all come with paperwork so that is my journey until Thanksgiving and then CRUNCH TIME.

I am just so excited that I cannot even type correctly so pardon the mistakes in advance, I am sure you all know what I am going through I just wish it was here already. Hope to have a better update soon but I have a 3 year old birthday coming soon and Thanksgiving so we will just have to see what happens.....

The RED THREAD IS TUGGING MY HEART!

trying not to spill the beans

Well this weekend was the most fun I have had in ages, we actually had a very fun but lazy weekend. We went to pestos on friday night, this very eclectic place in Fayetteville...If your ever in the area check it out and order the self titled pizza yummy. We got to see our friends Adam and Brandi our travel buddies and got to hear their great news, a new trip being planned for Peru next June. It will be number 2 on our list right behind pay off the rest of the adoption fees. For you non adoptive folks on here, they just keep coming and coming no matter what there is always more. I have faith that we will have the entire adoption paid off by then for sure, I just haveto buckle down and NOT GO SHOPPING.
I was so excited this weekend because it was such a fun few days that I just wanted to tell everyone that we are doing al this but I had to stop. Ethan and I talked about it and we know exactly how we want to tell his parents. If we can wait till the referral that would be best so we can have a photo but I dont think I can keep a secret that long!
Evan had a blast at his cousins 3rd birthday it is crazy to think that his is just a short 3 weeks away. He is growing up way to fast and so independent I just hate it. Annie and Bryan were up this weekend as well we grabbed some lunch and coffee but they had family plans so that was kinda a bummer. They are such awesome people I just wish they would move here already then we could see them all the time.....wait then the might find out that I am a goof ball and never talk to E again :)p
It is super late and I should be in bed, busy day tomorrow....JOB INTERVIEW. The summer has come to an end but we had such a great time hanging out together, Evan and I. I just wish I could do it every summer but I am ready to be back at work so we have the memories. The boys are all asleep so I should take a que and hit the sack, maybe 3 boys in the house is wearing on me!
