Rainy Day Ramblings

January seems to be zipping by at a rather speedy pace! We are so thankful to be back in school and in our routine!!! Last week was crazy cold!  It would have only been worth the trouble if we would have gotten a little bit of the powdery white stuff, but NOPE....we just froze.
At the beginning of the month, we took this large stack of paperwork....
stuffed it all in this envelop and sent it on it's way to global!  Our Dossier is being authenticated now and should be completed this week.  They will then submit it to the Chinese authorities and we will officially be waiting for a match.  Our organization does all referrals at the end of each month, so we will be receiving emails each month on the 30th saying either we did not get matched that
 month, or we will be given a file to review that will hopefully be our perfect match!!!   WOO HOO!!!!
Some of the students from Hattiesburg came to stay with us one night.  They took EK ice skating and she loved it! She's a bit too young/small, but she didn't seem to mind.  They just all had to hold her up the whole time!


For anyone who knows my children, you know that I have some terribly picky eaters who prefer to only eat yogurt, fruit, cheese, and Chick Fil A.  Well, we have decided that this year, they will try new things.  First up, spaghetti.  Walker man LOVED it and EK ate what we made her.  She didn't love it, but I am just proud that she actually tried it.
The Nelsons came on Saturday and the kids were thrilled that the weather finally was warm enough to ride and play outside...in pajamas of course.
J and I went to Hburg to see our friend Taylor Parsons in Jr. Miss while the Nelsons kept the kids.  Taylor won for Lamar County! We had such a nice time watching her do her thing and also seeing so many of our precious Hburg friends.

And let's just take a minute for this!!!  I mean, congrats to the basketball team for beating TSUN on Saturday, but let's be real.....it is time for BASEBALL!!!!!  I am so excited for this year!!! The road to Omaha is about to begin!!!!
