So much has happened!

Ok, so apparently I stink at keeping up with the blog! Well my excuse is I have a 8.5 month (yes I can't believe he is that old as well!!) to chase after!  He is crawling and pulling up all over the place, it truly is ridiculous how big he is getting. I want the baby back!!!  I miss cuddling with him, he may let me cuddle with him if he is SUPER tired, but that is about it, sigh...

So back on track to update.... He is ours now....we are so very happy, but at the same time not so sure it has really sunk in yet that he really truly is ours.  We haven't had a social worker visit in almost a month. I keep looking at my calender and thinking I need to call Ryan (our CW) and schedule a home visit, then I remember, Oh yeah we adopted him! It has been nice to be alone and bond more as a family, no cw intervening and telling us what we can/cant do.

A few days after we adopted D, my parents had a big party to celebrate his adoption. It was a really sweet day. A day that I look back on with happy tears! So many people came out to congratulate us on the adoption finalization.

We also just recently came back from a first airplane trip with the little man! we went to Cape Cod for a week. It was interesting, somewhat swore off of traveling with extended family, but D seemed to enjoy his extra time with Gma & Gpa, so that was good!  Some pictures in another post soon! I just wanted to quick pop on & update!!

Vaca recap

The trip was a lot of fun for me. Hopefully hubby had as much fun.  So a quick recap, we stomped the grounds thourally at the Mount.   Looked into college building windows, became saddened by a few things we saw.  We didnt go into the dorms, due to getting weird looks by a few adults...yeah... Went into the actual building, saw that they turned the FAC building site into a parking lot :(  Also added a Walmart - wich seamed fairly out of place.  Checked out the farm stand. Hubby made comments about their being 8 gas stations in the matter of a mile.  We also went on two hikes. One through the reclaimed mines, and one through a farmlandish forestish area in ladysmith. Very nice trails-personally liked the reclaimed mine trail better, but we got some good pictures for xmas cards on the Sisters Farm Trail.  Hmm, we also went to Rice Lake.  I posted a picture of us on hwy 8 on our way to RL. I titled it on our way to RL, which ended up getting a few funny comments!   The reason I posted the pictures is that I am amazed at the lack of traffic their was on hwy 8.  Being used to this area it was odd to have such a long stretch of road with little to no traffic.  Ok so in RL we went through the mall-took all of a half hour, only took that long because we went to Bath & Body Works ;) We also went through some of the downtown shops and went to Norske Nook. This place has a funny kinda inside joke between me, hubbs and a friend of mine, involving a pie... yeah that is as far as I will go!!  Sunday we packed up early, drove out to Exeland and went to my second church. I got hugs by some old friends, reintroduced the hubby to people and chit chatted with some people.  We had come to church on family sunday...not intentional.  This family sunday they were having a chili donation lunch thing. We felt odd going to the chili lunch, so we skipped it. I feel bad in retro spec that we skipped the chili lunch, because we didn't get to chat with PT or others for more than a few minutes :/  Oh well, I am hoping to make it up there again next year. Maybe make a half week trip of it? Start out at the dells then up north.

On other news, our CW asked for yet more papers....He did say that he should be able to issue us our licence by next week. How does one take the "by next week" I have been asking myself and my hubby this exact question.... Hoping by next week means early next week?  Ok so that is it on the update front.
