Catching Up

Sorry about the lack of posts lately, I just haven't been feeling very bloggy lately.
We've had a lot of stuff going on, some big, some small...so here's a quick rundown!




*Lucy had her first dentist appointment on July 1st, and she had cavities on four teeth. :( We went in on Friday August 5th to try to take care of the cavities with nitrous, but it was a no-go. Lucy fought like a tiger, so we had to take her back in on Monday and have her put under general anesthesia. That was a very difficult day for me, but praise God, it went wonderfully. The dentist and anesthesiologist were both wonderful, and Lucy's teeth look perfect. The whole thing took about 45 minutes, and she woke up quickly, a little pissed, but very alert!


*We're getting ready to start homeschooling with Riley (I can't believe he's kindergarten age already!) at the end of this month. I'm nervous, but excited about this new adventure!


*We've started discussing adding another baby to our family again. We still want to adopt, but that's looking like it won't be a possibility for a few more years. Now that our hearts have healed a bit more from our early loss in May, we're considering trying again.

*We have friends from Oregon coming out on Monday! They are bringing their daughter out to go to college near us, and I can't wait to spend some time with! This brings me to my next thought...

*I have a ton of housework to do! And I need to go grocery shopping. I should probably get on that, huh?

*My sister and her husband had their homestudy visit this past week, and things are moving right along with their adoption. I can't wait until they get their referral, and I get to see my sweet new niece's face! I *think* it'll be about 4-6 more months until they get to that point, but I'm praying things come together more quickly than that.


I guess that's it for now! I'm going to try to get back in to the swing of this blogging thing...I have a huge backlog of pictures I need to get through and post, but how about one for now?



My kiddos had so much fun with their cousins in Oregon!
