Update

I guess it's going to be a normal situation to have people ask, "how are things going with the adoption." I feel like we are at a snail's pace, with not much to report... It's a blessing to know that so many people care and pray for us as we slowly move forward toward gaining our dream of parenthood.

We have just decided that part of this journey for us is going to be a bit more financial freedom. We have some debts that we want & need to dig out from underneath, and feel that doing this is part of our first initial step in this process. We will, for the next few months, be working hard and diligent toward cleaning up some old debts and putting money into our savings account. Until we feel more secure in this area, we are going to hold off filing out the adoption application. Although this makes both of us a bit sad, we feel this is the right step to take. We are focusing on trusting that God will honor us by the way we are attempting to honor Him with being more responsible with the resources He has entrusted us with. We know this will put us back a few months, but really feel this is a very vital and important part of this journey for us personally. We would ask for prayer cover during this time to make wise decisions and that we would not be discouraged.

Easter Egg Hunt!!

Yesterday Darren and I had the extreme joy and pleasure to participate in a very simple tradition... an Easter Egg hunt !!! (THANK YOU Tania and Dana!!)

We hid some Easter Egg's outback at our house for Olivia and Meghan to find... we look forward to the day we begin to celebrate these small, but joy-filled traditions with our own child...or children!

Sometimes the smallest and simple things... hold the most special memories!!!
