Long Time!

I know....I know!!!!!!! You are all yelling at me! Sorry ( - = We have been a little busy around our house since Christmas! January began with signing papers and when I say papers I mean PAPERS! With all of that taken care of we received a phone call from our DHR worker with a scheduled appointment for Gage's finalization of his adoption! Little did we know that that day was going to be a VERY long VERY happy day! After the proceedings we went back to DHR to celebrate Gage having a forever family! My camera died so my mom took most of the pictures! (Mom I love you alot....could you send me the pictures?) When we got home and got ready to go to WOW Wednesday we were surprised by our wonderful church family(and when I say family I really do mean family...Thanks you guys! I don't know what I would do without you) with a party for Gage! You all really have no idea how much that meant to us as a family! After that we were preparing for our first LONG trip as a family! Gage hates to travel so I was really wishing away the fact that the trip was 10 hrs 1 way! Gage did GREAT! He never complained. He mostly played his "DS" and slept! We got to hear so really great lessons and learn all about L1 (Love God) and L2 (Love others) These were the Elements of living! We are grateful that we had such a large group from HXR go to Winterfest. We really had a great time of Bonding and Spiritual Growth! Guess that I better go for now! Please continue to pray for us as we pray for you!
