Adoption Journey

I just wanted to share the news that our adoption file has officially been turned over to the adoption specialist in our county.  From what I understand of the process, this means that we are ready and eligible to adopt.  To read about our adoption journey you can look back at my previous post entitled, The CALL.  (I know there is a fancy way to  put a link here to that older post, but I don't know how to do that.)  It has taken us almost exactly a year to finish the process. 

And here are a few pictures, just for fun.
This is Tori with her cousin, Nora, when we went to visit them in Austin, TX over New Year's.
This is Carson playing with his Batman Cave.  And yes, my son has on shorts and a sleeveless shirt in the dead of winter.  The minute he gets home from anywhere, he immediately goes to his room and changes into summer clothes.  It drives me crazy, because then I have to wash all those clothes!!!  It must be a boy thing.  Does anybody else have that problem with their sons?


I took this picture of Tori tonight because she is about to loose one of her top front teeth.  It is so loose, that I was sure it was coming out tonight and I wanted one last picture of my baby with her two front baby teeth.  The tooth made it through supper, though, so I guess it's going to make it at least one more day.

Carson got a tool set for Christmas that the tools are real, just miniature.  I found him in his room with his safety goggles on unscrewing a screw in his wall that was left there from his old book cabinet.   I love this kid!!
