Memorial Day Weekend





























The majority of our little group (minus the Yankee Hayeses and the Hartmans) gathered at the Leavell lake house to celebrate the holiday weekend. A good time was had by all!

Expecting to expect

Hello Family!
Just to keep you updated, we have finished our adoption paperwork, and are waiting to be matched with a birthmother. It could take a week, or a year, so I'm not holding my breath this time. It'll happen when it should.

The paperwork and home visit (from the caseworker for the state of CT) has had me completely consumed for a few weeks, so it's good to have that part finished.

Katie calls the baby's room "BeeBee's Wooom". Three of her friends' moms just had babies, so she loves babies right now. When we see babies in public, she wants to "hold" them, "hug" them, and "kiss" them. She's in her snuggly phase.

In other news, the weather here is gorgeous, and we'll be swimming in our pool tonight, after Rob gets home. Katie is signed up for swim lessons in June. I am signed up for a painting class in July. It's one night a week for five weeks, and I CAN'T WAIT!!! I figure I'd better enjoy some of my hobbies before there's another infant in the house.

Anyway, just thought you all should know our progress. It's exciting to imagine having two children.

Love,
Christy

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!



Katie is still young enough not to chime "there's nothing to do"...

CAUTION!!! CAUTION CAUTION!!

Our very own Taylor Baumann turns 16-year-old today! His immediate plans call for taking his driving test tomorrow (Friday) and (hopefully) taking to the road without adult supervision. If you spot him, he will be easily recognized by his newly acquired Mohawk haircut.
