Summer Fun...

It has been an absolutely crazy busy summer for us.  I can't believe that it is already August and some kids in our area will be starting school again next week.  We started home schooling Am again, beginning in July.  We have a busy school year ahead of us so we decided to get a jump start!

This summer we also have been working on our home study for our adoption.  We have finished our home visits and are waiting now on the finalization of our home study!!  This is so incredibly exciting for us and means we can start finishing our dossier for all of the necessary things it needs.

So far this summer we have experienced an unexpected gall bladder surgery, a trip to Arkansas for two weeks, 4 home study visits, A weekend visit with Aaron's Dad and his wife, and we began school in July!  It has been so busy and summer isn't over yet!  We still plan to hit the pool a few more times despite it being much more chilly than we expected it to be for summer and have a couple of more weekend vacations planned.

We are in the midst of our Freezer Full Adoption Fundraiser and are excited about the interest!  You guys are helping us bring home our little boy!  Thank you so very very much from the bottom of our hearts!

Here are a few pictures from our summer:

Amariss rode a horse like she'd been doing it her whole life!
Truly, this is her first time riding horse by herself and she loved it!

This little girl takes after big sister and absolutely loves water!

Her roller blades are her absolute favorite! (even though it doesn't look like it in this picture)

I couldn't resist!  She looked so cute on the 4th of July!

These two sisters are always making me laugh with their silly ways.

In true Amariss fashion, she was able to find a baby blue jay and show him much love.
I was able to coax her into putting him back although she insisted we needed to raise him.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!  We will keep you updated as our adoption plans continue to unfold!  We cannot wait to meet our little boy!  Thank you for all of your prayers and support!!!
