Time for an Update

For those of you that follow this blog occasionally, I do think it is time I owe you an update. In the beautiful world of adoption, not much has changed. Referrals are coming at about the same pace and number. So we are still looking at a 14 - 16 month wait. In the meantime we have something else to get our minds occupied, the new little baby we are expecting this July. Yes, I am pregnant and we had our first ultrasound on Monday and everything looks good. We are very excited but I am having a hard time wrapping my head around four children. I always wanted four but now it is very much a reality. So we are actually expecting two children, one through pregnancy and one through adoption. We are going to love both the same and are equally excited about both! It may end up that they babies are only a couple of months apart in age, which will be great for having a playmate, but might make for some crazy months while they are young. Our girls are also doing great, they really enjoy playing together. We will begin really focusing on homeschooling Gracie once the holidays are over. We are very involved in a co-op group here in town and they both enjoy going. Jeremiah is still working hard with the bank and really seems to enjoy it. I am just taking it easy, as this first trimester has kept me eating and sleeping quite a bit. I don't have a lot of energy to expend these days. If I don't get a chance to update before Christmas I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. We will be thinking of our two children yet to join our family and anticipate what this next year may bring.
