Happy Thanksgiving

I'm not intentionally neglecting my blog - apparently I've reached capacity for photos!:)!!
I'm trying to figure out the solution...if there is one. Stay tuned and I hope to have it figured out soon.

Forward Progress

We received word today that we will be getting our "official" adoptive placement of Isaac on Friday Nov. 30th. What does that mean you ask?? It means there were no appeals to the termination of parental rights and we get to move forward from foster placement to adoptive placement for finalization!! Yippee!! Maybe he'll have our name by the end of the year! And we'll get a little more of our time back!

1st Day of Preschool

Most boys and girls have a nice picture of themselves,

usually on a front porch all excited for the first day...

Surprise, surprise, our boy decided to be silly!!! 

Fail of a photo shoot did NOT equal a fail of a day 

Noah did great at his first real day of "school" and has done nothing but ask to go again. Teacher Marty said he did great and even went potty by himself!! We are very excited and proud of out big boy Noah. He's going T-W-Th for now.
On the potty training front - I would say we're pretty much trained but are still a bit from being accident free. We're very very excited and proud of our big boy Noah for this milestone.

Pumpkin Day '12 = A BUST

We made it home from Indy in time to carve pumpkins 

and get in enough trouble to lose trick-or-treating privileges

***sad face***

I'm sure it had to do with the grueling day of travel

and time change but I had to stick to my guns.

 They did wear their costumes to go grocery 

shopping and visit daddy at work where a little

candy was exchanged!

Noah is not a huge fan of the pumpkin ick - he's turning into a bit of a sissy

 BTW - I don't always pick Noah's outfits...

 We were prepared for the a lot of go-getter's

sadly we only had 26 knockers.
