House Hunting 2009

We are anticipating moving into our new home around the same time as the adoption is finalized (November). We know where we are going to live we just have not decided on the builder/floor plan. We are moving into the Daybreak/District area. We will either build into a townhome or buy an existing single family home. There are some great deals right now but we have to wait until atleast September. That is when our Subway investment will be paid off. We have toured multiple floorplans and love the area.

Mom and Dad have been wonderful through everything. They will have no idea what an influence they have been Keira at such a young age. I think Keira will go into shock when we move out.

Little of this, Little of that

ADOPTION

Most of you know but some may not - We have been working on adopting a child out of Uganda since August of 2008. Our homestudy was just completed and we are now waiting for Homeland Security to allow us to bring an orphan into the country. This should take around 3 months. Once we are approved by Homeland Security we can start receiving referrals for a child in Uganda. We have requested a child under the age of 2 and they will be healthy based on 3rd world standards. Things are going well up to this point and we pray they will continue to do so.

If all goes according to plan, we will travel to Uganda in November/December (Hopefully) to pick up our little boy. What a Christmas Present!!!

We will try to keep everyone updated as much as possible.

Halloween Fun

Keira had a great time this year at Valley Fair Mall - Trunk or treat. She got the hang of it real quick and was running from one store to the next - "More Canny, More canny!" Creighton and Ally came by and had a good time as well. We then got to hang out at Rachels house for a Halloween feast thanks to Katie and Rachel.

We went to "This is the Place Monument" a couple Saturdays ago for their Halloween Day. Keira got to ride a Pony, take a Hay ride, go through a corn maze and saw the house of her great ancestors. Alex and Josh came along and had a good time as well.

Just having some family fun in Washington and Oregon.
