Wow...that was fast!

I mailed the documents for Jay-R's I600 form (the authorization form needed by the US government for international adoptions) on October 30th. When we got home last night, Kory went to get the mail and the form from the USCIS was here already! Wow...less than a month. That truly was quick. Now, we are waiting for the visa. My gut instinct still seems to say early January due to Christmas holiday, but we'll see! We really need to get his room finished!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful. As I count down the hours until turkey time (I love Thanksgiving), I reflect on the many things I am thankful for...family, friends, my church, a job I love, my country, even my ever whiny dogs, and most of all, my faith in Jesus Christ. I am also thankful for little Jay-R. God is teaching me patience thru the wait. My gut instincts seem to tell me mid-January, but I'm not sure. We just keep waiting...

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

A message from Ashleigh: Leave a comment to tell us what you are thankful for!

Halloween Fun




The nursing home where I work always participates in community trick or treat. Everyone there loves my little terrier Franklin so I dressed him up as a pumpkin and he trick or treated with Ashleigh, the doctor. I even let him eat a Smartie which he loved of course!
