Halloween 2012

We had a pretty low key Halloween this year. Nick was out of town for the Halloween party that we were going to go to... We were going to go as Gnomeo and Juliet, but I decided even if my Gnomeo wasn't here that doesn't mean I can't go by myself! So Miss K and I dressed up and went!

We carved pumpkins on Halloween this year! We were cutting it close! With Nick being out of town, that seemed the only day we could all join the fun!

A New Bed for Miss K

We looked all over trying to find a bed for Miss K, but we could never find exactly what we wanted. Nick decided that he would build her one. Unfortunately it's been pretty slow going. Work tends to get in the way of such things. We should be able to move the bed in her room soon and then he's going to finish the bookshelf and dresser to go underneath it.

Drawing out the plans

Getting started!

Looking good!

K is so proud of her bed!

Each of the steps has a drawer in it

All finished!

Changes

We are going through quite a bit of changes. After the delivery and meeting of the sweet little baby that we thought was going to be ours, we have reflected A LOT on our adoption path.What is that saying "If I only knew then what I know now?" Well we would've definitely proceeded with adoption differently. We still are very certain that adoption is meant for us, but unfortunately we see it VERY differently now.

After our unmatch with K, we decided we needed to do some serious updating to our profile. We are starting with what's called the "Task Force Review." Which basically means that a team at IAC will be reviewing our letter and making suggestions for improvements. We never had a personal web page, as it was not mandatory, but I am currently in the process of finishing that up. We are going to start our own advertising specific to our personal page versus our i heart profile on IAC's website.

We also have decided to go on the LMHL with our agency. We really don't think we will benefit much from this, but we now feel that any little bit of exposure may help.

Here's to 22 months of waiting and ??? more!

Love

Miss K and I went to a pumpkin patch with the school. I love this pic that I snapped of her! 

Look Ma No Training Wheels!

We are so proud of our girl! Yeah! No more training wheels!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the same pumpkin patch this year as we have the last couple of years. We picked out some huge pumpkins. Usually we go with a group of people but this year it was just ourselves.We had a nice time. Lately it seems we've been doing a lot more just the three of us. I guess we are just soaking up all the time with each other that we can.
