December 1, 2004
I just love the holidays, it is even better with children. They remind you of the little things like Frosty or watching Peanuts Chirstmas. The holidays through a childs eyes is precious.
We have passed our 60 day appeal period and we have not heard a thing we are at 67 days so I am asusming that we are in the clear. Our adotion SW is out sick plus they are getting ready to adopt a little boy so I have a call into her to see if she thinks we will finalize before the end of the year, but I still think it will be next year. Austin has really grown he makes more and more sounds he loves to yell especially in the car and then Blaine chimes in. Blaine is definitlly in his twos but we are already half way through the terrible twos so I can make it through.:) He every once in a while decides to use the potty but I don't push it I will wait until Summer when he is closer to three. I just wanted to give a short update on where we are at. We are on the list for a little girl we did get presented with two different little girls but the one that we would have been more apt to adopt was too close in age to Austin so we declined you alwasy feel like such a shmuck. Our little girl is out there in the meantime I enjoy every day with the boys even the days they are not little angels. LOL
Have a great holiday season and I will update when I know when we are going to finalize.
Kim one very happy mommy to, two cute boys
Blaine 2
Austin 14 months
