Day 107 - Cleaning the church

April 17th, 2009





We went to clean the church today. Liam tried the Urinal on his own. I just thought it was so cute ans snapped a picture. Dave wasn't so happy with me taking a picture of his son peeing. LOL

Day 106 - "Key-low"

April 16th, 2009




Cleo is a strange cat. She often will take her naps laying straight out on her back. Liam used to call her "KEY-O" missing the "L". We tried to teach him to put the "L" in. Now he does put the "L" in but just in the wrong spot. "Key-Low".

Day 105 - Yoga

April 15th, 2009




We got the Wii Fit and Liam loves it. He watched so intently and we realized he can copy everything we do. His favorite is the yoga. So he found this black flat piece of plastic and he calls it his "balance board". Today he did yoga with daddy.

Day 104 - Liam and his cars

April 14th, 2009




Today Liam lined up all his cars. It was a little parking lot. He wouldn't let Gabriel touch them. He was SOOO proud of himself.

Day 103 - oh Monday, Monday

April 13th, 2009




Mondays are not always the funnest days. Dave works in the morning and then I meet him at the church in the afternoon to clean. Liam normally misses his nap. So, once we got home Liam was playing in the yard, got an owie and wanted his daddy to hold him. In now time, Liam fell asleep.

Day 102 - Easter Sunday

April 12th, 2009




It's Easter. The service this morning was WONDERFUL. Liam went to children's church and learned about the resurrection. Gabriel was an angel and napped in Dave's office the whole morning. Dave had to run the media board so I sat alone but it was a wonerful time for me to just focus on the Lord. The youth did a drama and the sermon and music was just amazing. I really felt touched by the Lord.

Day 101 - Saturday

April 11th, 2009




Today was Saturday. We didn't do much at all. Liam tried to give Gabriel a hug at lunch time and Gabriel didn't react idealy. LOL

Day 100 - Yard work

April 10th, 2009




So, today we worked in the yard. We picked all the weeds in the front yard, raked out a lot of the wood chips left behind from the mulch we used and then I planted all my flower bulbs and Dave planted his cherry tree which is now starting to bud. THe boys had fun hanging out in the yard with us.

Day 99 - walk to the store

April 9th, 2009




Not much happened today but when Dave got home and after dinner we decided to take a walk to the grocery store. It's preyyt close and a nice walk. It was good to get fresh air.

Day 98 - Dinner?

April 8th, 2009




Nothing happened today. It was Dave's day off and we did nothing which was actually a good thing. So, I took a picture of dinner. it was great.

Day 97 - Swimming Lessons

April 6th, 2009





Liam's been taking Swimming lessons. He HATES going under but LOVES being in the shallow end where he can walk on his own. I think he'll continue to get braver and more confident. We're going to do the next level of lessons later this summer.

Day 96 - The boys house

April 5th, 2009




Dave's mom sent some money for the boys to get some outside toys so we bought them a little house. It's been sitting on our porch in a box for sometime. The weather had been cold so we hadn't put it together till today. The boys had fun watching mommy and daddy put it together and Liam tried to help Dave.

Day 95 - Sunday

April 4th, 2009




It's Sunday. Nothing too exciting.

Day 94 - BIG DAY

April 4th, 2009




So, today was an exciting day! We went to my nephew's birthday party and right before leaving to head over there I started getting a migraine. I toughed it out. I should have stayed home. Once we got home I went straight to bed. Dave took the boys with him to church to clean so that I wouldn't have to deal with them or hear them downstairs. I slept for a couple hours. I woke feeling WAY better and to a great surprize! Dave came in with an envelope in his hand. It was from the US Citezen Imigration Services. We'd been waiting 8 weeks for this to arrive. We opened it and WE WERE APPROVED!!! It was a pretty for sure thing that we would be so we weren't worried but getting the letter made it so official and meant we could move onto the next step. So, we're that much closer to bringing our baby home.

Day 93 - A full day

April 3rd, 2009




I went to lunch with Becca and Lexi (high school girls from church). Then after dropping Lexi off Becca and I went to the mall. I got a cute new pair of heels and a black hat. In the picture Liam is wearing my hat. After shopping and dropping Becca off I went home, put the boys down for a nap, Dave went to the grocery store, we had 2 couples from church over for Pad thai and egg rolls, then we ended the night with some Wii. Fun day!

Day 92 - Swimming lessons

April 2nd, 2009


No picture today. :-/ Sorry. Nothing exciting happened. I took Liam to swimming lessons. He HATES going under but otherwise he's doing well. He LOVES being in the shallow end where he can walk around by himself.

Day 91 - April Fool's Day

April 1st, 2009




Today was our monthly Aftershock. I am pleasantly surprized that we didn't get pranked.

Day 90 - Tuesday

March 31st, 2009


Today was Tuesday. I didn't get a picture but here's the run down. Dave worked most of the day. He came home and then Liam and I left for swimming lessons. When we got home a new couple from our church came over for dessert. We had a nice time getting to know them.

Day 89 - Wii!

March 30th, 2009




Dave took the day off because last week was a tough and very long week. We needed some family/marriage time. We spent a good portion of the day shopping with the boys but in the afternoon we took the boys to Greg and Andrea's house. They watched them for about 5 hours while Dave and I got to go to dinner and some more shopping. It was a GREAT day!!! We bought the Wii Fit while we were out and I'm very excited about it! Woohoo!

Day 88 - Sunday

March 29th, 2009


Sunday, Sunday. . .it's always the same!

Day 87 - SNOW!

March 28th, 2009




It's the end of MARCH and we're getting SNOW! What in the world?! Yeah, so Liam wanted to take his little cars out to play in the snow. Poor kid, I couldn't find his gloves.

Day 86 - Forgot to post

March 27th, 2009


I am posting this days after and honestly can't recall what we did on Friday the 27th. I don't have a picture either. :-(

Day 85 - Bought Liam a new quilt

March 26th, 2009




We bought Liam a new quilt today. We also got two sets of bright orange sheets so the boys beds can match once Gabriel moves into Liam's room. We'll use Liam's old patchwork quilt for Gabriel's bed but both will have the orange sheets. We still need to buy a mattress for the other bunch.

Day 84 - Out to Lunch

March 25th, 2009




Today was Dave's day off. We ran some errands and then went to this new little Asian restaraunt. It was really good! The waitress loved Liam. She kept coming over the our table to play with him. She had a little rubber bouncey ball and they would throw it back and forth.
