Big Cousins Meet Little Cousin

Today my kids get to meet their 4 day old baby cousin. I can't wait to see how they will react.

Finally an Email

This had to be its own post because today I finally got an email from our social worker letting us know that she is starting on the approval process for our homestudy. I am really hoping it will only take another three weeks and we will FINALLY be on the wait list for a child. I would be thrilled if we were placed with a child by the end of the year but have a feeling it might not be until next year (probably March sometime). It's been 14 months since we've begun this process. I am hoping we are more than halfway there!

Yesterday we ran errands, had breakfast made for us by our out of town friends and went to bed early. Oh, and my youngest had his first jazz class. He loved it. It was the first time I left him with someone I didn't know since he was three. I was a little nervous since he starts Kinder in the fall but he did great!

Today we have swim lessons and dance for the older two boys. Should be fun. It's extremely hot over here though and humid. UGH.

The boys did really well in their swim lessons. K is really good at the breast stroke and butterfly and D is really good at free style and back stroke. B is completely swimming now!

The older two had their first hip hop classes for the season and loved it. Can't wait to see them in the concert next year.

Happy Fourth of July!!

My sister had her baby on the 2nd. I got to spend eight hours with her yesterday. It was so nice. The baby is very beautiful (of course I am biased).

Today we have friends from out of town visiting. We are going to watch fireworks at the top of the hill.

Should be fun!!

Officially in Labor

My sister is officially admitted. She has been contracting since yesterday but wasn't really making any progress. She went in at 2am and they sent her home at 3am saying she was only 1 1/2 cm dilated. Now she is 2 cm. but they can feel the head so they admitted her. Didn't know you could be 2cm dilated and feel the head!! So excited. Can't wait to see the baby girl.

Going to our friend's house to celebrate her birthday. Getting cupcakes from Sprinkles. Yum!

My sister might be in labor!

My sister may be having her baby tomorrow! I am soo soo excited. Can't wait to see the new little one!

We went to the beach again today. The kids are getting really good at navigating the ocean waters.

Boogie boarding is so much fun. We went out as far as we could. The kids were very happy I went with them. My bathing suit only almost fell off about five times. Good times!

I didn't write yesterday.....we went swimming....little one is getting really good at swimming. Would love to go somewhere for the summer!

Today we went swimming again. It is our friend's b-day today. We are making cards and going out tonight. I have to work again...just a few hours.
