Update

So, I know that it has been a while since we have posted, yet again. A valid excuse would be that it is busy being a parent of an almost 2 year old, but that doesn't fly becuase we love every minute of it. I guess that we were hoping to be updating you on the happenings of the adoption of our little girl by this time. Truth be told we are at a dead stand-still there. We have been DTE since Feb. 4th, and I think there have been 2 referrals since that time. Unofficially, we are about 40th in line for an infant girl. We are truly hoping to have a referral by Christmas.

The wait this time around has been easier because we have little Yiah around. He amazes us every day. While he is getting close and showing signs of the terrible 2s, he is such a fun loving, happy and bright little guy. The other week he walked up to a sign and started telling us what letters there were. We had no idea how he knew that, but we have been working with him since! His favorites are still tractors, choo-choos, and cars n trucks. Daddy has taught him to draw his bow everytime he sees a deer (with all the John Deere logos around), but our favorite is when you ask him who loves him. His first response, "JESUS!" Then when asked who else we get "Mama" and "Daddy".

There are so many more things I could tell you about, but I figured those of you still following the blog or checking in from time to time might like some updated pictures. So here they are, the joy of our life!
