Pictures, finally

We re-scheduled our Disney World trip to April. There were several deciding factors. I didn't look at the cheer calendar correctly when I first booked it and it looks like we would have gotten home Friday night and had to be at a national competition Sat morning. Ugh. Then there has been the stress of adoption chaos lately. We both felt like we needed to stay on top of everything right now and not let anything slip through the cracks. And then to top it all off, I hurt my foot. I have broken it before and all of a sudden it swelled up and became very painful. The docs think it is a stress fracture or inflamed ligament, but either way the treatment is to immobilize it and rest it. If we had gone to Disney they would have had to cast it to protect it. The thought of hobbling around the parks for 5 days in a cast was enough to pull the trigger and re-schedule. Luckily I got the insurance!!

Ellie - I have some info for you about Angelo's bum, if you want it. I am here for you if you need help deciphering geneticist-speak! (We are an odd lot, so don't be shocked.....;-)

Candy - I really think the Guat Tot get together turned our luck around in a huge way! You cannot discount the power of Mommies, joined together in love and laughter!!!!

And now for more pictures. I was doing 3 other things while these were loading and I got them all out of order and am too lazy to fix them. That's the story of my life! hah!

Katie and Kya. These two really bonded. Soon after I took this pic Kya was in Katie's lap. (Note katie is texting.....gotta love those teen years)

Levi and Kaitlyn: Two peas in a pod. Not only do they look alike, but I swear they have twin personalities!
KK and Mina having fun dumping dino dig pellets on each others heads. After we got home I went to change Mina's diaper and all these black rubber pellets fell out. Eeeew! Still, it was better than poo-poo...
Caleb and Kya playing in the groceries. 
Katie, Levi and  Mina on an archeological adventure.
I am apologizing to all of you in the northern climes that are currently socked in with ice and snow. I planted tomatoes today. Sorry! (Hey, you can come visit if you want!!!)
Strawberries, itty bitty baby strawberries. I can't believe it. The deer are just toying with me. They will wait until just before these are ripe then mow down the whole patch. I just know it.
Zoe and Kya coloring. I am totally smitten with these girls. If I thought I could get away with it I totally would have taken them home with me! I loved talking to Zoe. She strikes me as an old soul in a young body. Wise way beyond her years. And Kya's dimples are to die for!!!!
I will try and upload more pics later. Right now I am off to get cleaned up to go out to celebrate our anniversary. Wohho to us!!! (And they said it wouldn't last......;-)
