Snow day!

It finally looks like days of old around here! We were just hit with 2 feet plus this past snow storm. So, what better to do on a snow day or two?

Play outside! Thankfully no one got lost in the snow.





And bake! I'm not so sure Daddy enjoyed our new song, "We're making.....brownies!"

Two Years

This week we have been very busy. Colby had to visit the doctor for a flu shot and we had a visit to the eye doctor. Both went well. We also had to go to Hartford to the adoption agency. We filled out paperwork for our 2 year post-placement report. The reports used to be just a quick phone chat and we would send the required ten photos but new requirements mandate the adoption agencies must see us. So on Wednesday night we went to chat with the social worker and we had the opportunity to share our story with couples at an initial informational meeting. We did this early in 2010 as well. It is a little strange standing there talking to them and remembering how we felt when we went to that initial meeting in September 2007. Boy how that day changed our lives. The couples looked so unsure but they had lots of questions and seemed to like the photos we shared. I left my information for them and I really hope that they call or email. I received some amazing help while we went through our adoption and I love helping others too.

So, almost 2 years ago we brought this little baby home. Now he is such a little man. How did he grow so fast? Although I love eery minute of it, I wish I could keep him little forever (well, maybe without the temper tantrums!). Colby has now been home a little longer than the time he spent in the baby home. I think that is a huge milestone. He's almost 4, loving preschool, learning more and more everyday, and becoming such a loving, caring little man. I guess I can step back a little and be proud. Wouldn't you?
