Wow Time Flies

So the last time I posted anything was in February and that is telling you a little bit about how beusy my life has been. Brad finished spring semester and has now started summer. I just pray he does well. We have a court date for Maggie and a sealing and blessing date. We go to court on May 23rd and are doing the sealing and blessing the first weekend in June. Zack has lost a tooth and the second one is hanging by a thread. He won't let me pull it because it hurts when I do it. He is also almost done with kindergarten. He can't wait for summer. I will finish teaching preschool for the year next week and am looking forward to not having to teach for a few months. Abby is a big girl now. She has a big girl bed. I am hoping she will potty train this summer. She is interested and likes sitting on the potty. She is also getting so big. She now says milk, purple, uh oh, and up.
We had a lot of fun for Easter. Cousins got together and looked for Easter Eggs and we went to Smiths for there candy hunt. We came home with so much candy we are still trying to get rid of it. Other then that we are just busy trying to keep track of all the kids and help Brad with school. We have decided that they should put my name on his degree. I wasn't planning on getting a degree in construction management. We hopefully only have a year left. I will be so glad when it is done. I am tired of dealing with the University. Anyway that is about where we are these days. I will have to post some pictures soon. We took some cute ones at Easter but will be getting some done with the sealing.

Pictures

Here are a couple of pictures of the girls. I will have to get some good ones posted. When I find the time to do it. We have been dealing with the flu this last week. Zack started with it and continued most of a week and then I got it and Brad got it. Luckily the two girls haven't gotten it. I am knocking on wood that they stay healthy. Maggie is 3 months now and still in newborn clothes. Some day she will get out of them. Abby is walking and a menace to society. Zack calls her Dennis. Zack is busy with school and looking forward to warmer weather.

Crazy two months

So the last 2 months have been so crazy. Between getting Maggie and the holidays we have been a little all over the place. I think we are finally getting into a routine. Maggie is doing well. She will go to the Dr. next week for her two month check up. Abby gets to go to for her 1yr check up as well. Zack is back in school and we just celebrated his 51/2 year birthday. I am celebrating half birthdays because Abby's birthday is so close to Christmas. On Abby's birthday we kept it low key and she got a present and then on June 30th we will do a big celebration. So on Zack's half birthday we went to McDonalds and he got one present and on his real birthday we will do the big celebration. It makes it easier on our budget around the holidays. Especially because we have two birthdays right around the holidays. I have taken some cute pictures of the girls. I will have to get them posted.

Maggie

Here are some pictures of Maggie. She is doing well. She finally has decided that eating is a good thing. She is now five pounds and we are adjusting pretty well. I think it has dawned on Abby that this thing is not going away. She tries to sit on her and all that fun stuff.

Unpredictable

When I have more time will write out the long version of the story. Right now I will give the fastest version. 3 weeks ago our adoption agency called and said that our birth mom was pregnant and wanted us to take the next one. Miracles happened and she was born on Nov. 18th and was premature. Her name is Maggie and she is in the NICU and will be there for a little bit. Like I said I will put the long version in later.

Halloween

Here is Zack and Abby in their costumes. She was so cute in her tiger costume and Zack was so excited for the trick or treating. He had such a good time with his cousins.
We really had a good time at Halloween with all the cousins. It was a little wet but that didn't stop us. We had lions, and tigers, but no bears. We should have thought through that one. Woody and Jesse came along with Iron man, Spider man, a Jedi knight, and butterflies, and cats. It was a lot of fun.

Abby's sister

Just a quick note. Our birthmom is pregnant again and wants us to take the baby. It is another little girl and she is due on December 15th. She and Abby would be 11 and a half months apart if they get to the due date. We are so blessed to have wonderful family. My mom has offered to loan us the agency fee and we are trying to come up with about 6,000 more for the medical and legal fees. Please keep us in your prayers. We feel like the Lord has put this right in our laps and we need to take the opportunity. And if any of you out there know any people that would donate to our cause please let them and us know. I know that the Lord will make this all work I just don't know how yet. I guess that is the biggest part about faith. We just have to keep working having faith that it will all work out.
