October Update

Hello Everyone,
Not much has been happening on the adoption front these days but we've been busy with other exciting news!  We have decided to move!  We have loved our current house and all that it has to offer (the lake, our dock & pontoon, and just the cute house and yard) but we have not had good luck with neighbors.  Many of you know we've had ongoing issues with crime, bad renters, noisy neighbors and then the main problem, no other children in the neighborhood.  As Eli has gotten older, this has become more of an issue.  Currently his best friend in the neighborhood is our very nice 50ish, Harley riding, AA member, junk collector next door neighbor.  I think it's time to find some friends his own age to be playing with!

We're moving about a mile from our current house, to a neighborhood that was built about 8 years ago...it's where I run & walk a lot and we know lots of families from school and church there.  We are super excited for many reasons!!  As most of you know, I love to decorate, so this will be FUN for me!!  We'll have 4 bedrooms, which will be great since we often have out of town visitors.  We'll have a guest room for them and space for a new baby!!!!! There's also an unfinished basement for my wild, loud boys to play all the sports they want & I can stay sane this winter!!!! And look at that cute front porch!!!!! We'll be closing on October 23rd, and will start moving a few things, but have painters coming in to do some major painting for about 2 weeks.  We haven't listed our house yet, but will do so after we move, probably around the beginning of November.

Eli has been giving us a run for our money with his behavior lately...we're trying to be consistent with our discipline, giving appropriate consequences, etc, but it's tough!

So, I'd been thinking I should write a quick update to say nothing was going on, but we just got a call about a Birth Mother who will look at our profile soon!  She is due in January, so we are excited!!!  Please be praying that this is THE ONE!!  We still have been feeling ok with the waiting, but would love to have a baby soon!!!!!

Thanks for reading, checking in and for all the prayers!!
