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.

Nothing is Safe!

Well last week because I said Abby couldn't crawl yet she must have heard my thoughts because the very next day she took off. I guess next time I don't want my child to do something I will keep my thoughts to myself. The boys think it's funny to put treats around the house on the floor and watch her crawl to each one. Well now she thinks everything on the floor is edible. Who knows what she has eaten this past week. Everything is fair game to her now.

Side note: I have my christmas shopping done for the kids. I found great deals at Shopko and got it done. Now all I have to worry about getting our families and Brad done. Yipeee!

Wright Happenings

In her walker with her helmet on to make sure she doesn't get hurt. Zack took the picture
Zack's first day of school.
I have kept everyone in the know on Abby and have neglected the rest of the family so here is an update.
Brad: He is working 50 hours a week and going to school. His company just got a huge project and we are very excited about it. His classes haven't been to bad this semester. We are both really enjoying his materials management class because it is a pretty easy class. He has also found time to go bird hunting and to a BYU game.
Becca: I have been busy teaching preschool, walking Zack to and from school, and doing all the other running around that moms do.
Zack: Started Kindergarten. The only thing I ever here about school is recess. I guess that is the only important part. He has made a lot of new friends,(many of them are girls) and he is really liking his teacher. He is also reading books every night. His teacher sends home books as well as the school sending home a book every night. It is fun to here him read. He is pretty smart and I am proud of all the work he is doing. He likes to read to Abby but she just wants to eat the books.
Abby: She is still trying to figure out the crawling thing(I'm glad it is taking time). She likes to attack us if we are sitting near her. She has figured out how to get her walker to pretty much anywhere she wants. My toes are bruised from her running over them. She is still a happy little thing.
So that is some basics on all of us. We are busy and enjoying life.

Abby's Sealing

So the sealing and blessing were wonderful and we are so grateful for all of our family and friends that have supported us through the whole thing. Abby's dress was gorgeous and the whole two days were a special time for us. Abby's dress was made by my aunt Lynette and she used some of the material from my grandma's wedding dress. As you can tell my thoughts are all over the place. I will have to write more about it but I did want to get a picture or two on here.

Officially Ours

Well Abby is officially ours. We met with the judge this afternoon. It was a neat experience. The judge was very friendly and visited with us afterward for a few minutes. He talked about his own children which was kind of fun to hear. All in all it was a great day for our family. We are having Abby sealed to us On Sept. 18th. I look forward to next weekend. I can't wait for it to happen. I know that Zack is so excited to go the temple he can hardly sleep at night. Thank you to all of you for your support.
