Whirlwind Adventures!

First Snow
Merry Christmas!
New Scooter :)
Welcome to Washington Weather!




So I realize that we have not updated our blog for over 8 days! Quite a long stretch after updating daily for 2 weeks! We came home at 3:30 am on Thursday, December 20th and tried to rest (HA) before everyone "started" the day. We were not successful! Thursday we had so many friends and family stop by and greet us... so wonderful! Then Thursday, everyone was in bed at 7:30 pm. By this time, Phil and I had been up for 47 hours!!! Friday we had Christmas at my parents's, Saturday we had more Christmas at my parents's and we went to church, Sunday we had church and Christmas at my grandma's, Monday we had church and Christmas Eve dinner at our house (hooray...home) and Christmas morning we were at home then we were off to Phil's parent's for Christmas afternoon/evening! WHEW! By Wednesday, we were ready to stay home and try out our new scooters :)
The last few days have been WONDERFUL as we are all settling in and getting to know one another. We have had some great times(snow:)and also some not so great times (bedtime), but overall, we are starting to feel like a family and not like "we have guests over" (Lukas' words).

Congratulations on your beautiful, beautiful children ... May I ask through which agency you adopted? We have adopted domestically/transracially and are now seeking God's direction about an African adoption. GOD bless, Stephanie
