A lot of news and few pics





I know it has been a while since I've updated. It has been a busy two weeks or so. I haven't been good about taking pictures of Anna these last two weeks so there aren't a lot of pictures but there are a few of her playing this morning with some of her bling on. But there is a great deal of news to share:

WE GOT INTO SHRINERS! That is probably the biggest news. We go for Anna's first consultation with the craniofacial team on June 24. We are going to make a mini vacation out of it and visit some of Chicago's hot spots. We have wanted to go to Chicago and now we have a real reason. We don't know when Anna's surgery will be. We will meet with about 9 doctors on that day and then they assess her case and let us know. I don't think it'll be this summer. I figure more like October. We'll see.

Secondly....I'll be working next year. We have prayed and prayed and prayed about this and once we sat down and really put pen to paper we just felt like the most responsible thing would be for me to work. Our goal is to pay off some bills and really save this year and hopefully I'll be able to stay home the next two years with Anna before she goes to school. We feel this decision will put us in a much better place to possibly start another adoption for a brother in a year or two. That is something we're starting to pray about.

Anna is doing well. Actually that isn't entirely true. The last full week of school she had a cold...which I was lucky to get as well. And this past week she caught a stomach bug. Hopefully we're getting to the end of that and then hopefully she'll stay healthy. We are going to make the most of the summer and have a great time together. She is a blessing and we are having a ball.
