An announcement...

I'm probably the worlds worst blogger, and truthfully, that likely won't change in the near future, but I am going to try to update at least every other month coming up, so here is a little catch up info on us.

Ricardo just finished his MBA, we are so so proud of him and excited for him to be done with school! He is enjoying all his free time by doing projects around the house, including building one awesome chicken coop (or chicken mansion as my mom calls it) for our 4 new chickens, Harriett, Cubby, Fluffles, and Lady Gaga (yeah, we aren't even fans, but we thought it was a funny name for a chicken.)He is working for IHC in West Valley doing some accounting work for them and he really enjoys it.



Allie just finished preschool, she turned five in January and she will start Kindergarten in the fall. Where did all that time go? I swear just yesterday she was a baby. She will be attending Gramercy where I work so I am looking forward to being able to see her during lunch and have her with me before and after school. She is such a smart kid (though I am a little biased) she is already starting to read, which makes her school teacher mama proud. She is also taking ballet and will have her first recital next week, and she played soccer this spring and kickball this summer.




Hannah just turned 3 in April, she is our bubbly bundle of energy. She makes friends with everyone she meets and makes them laugh. She will start preschool in the fall, which is really hard to believe, she is so so excited to go to school just like her big sister.




As for me I am home for the summer, which is fabulous! I'm loving spending time with my girls, and having a break from getting up early and the school year rush. I'm also enjoying the extra time to work on my yarn and knitting business a bit.

And now for our big announcement! We have put in our adoption application with LDS Family Services. We are hoping to have our adoption application approved by mid August, and for now we are just working on paperwork and getting ready to attend the required classes. We are so excited and also nervous for the road ahead of us.

Once we are finished with our paperwork and approved we will have an adoption profile on itsaboutlove.org. With LDS family services there is no wait list and no set time frame to wait for an adoptive placement. The expectant mothers choose the family that they feel will be best for their baby. We would like to ask for your prayers during this process that has so many ups and downs, we can really use them! We are so grateful for supportive family and friends, your thoughts and prayers are really very much appreciated!
