Oh Yeah, Babies Change Everything

Well, let's see. Time since September has flown by so quickly. Our days and nights are filled with being mommy and daddy to Caroline and learning as we go. And learning some more. And some more. Lots of tears, some hers some ours. Our adoption was finalized in May. Here's a photo of Caroline and her daddy on her special "Gotcha" day.






She had no idea of the magnitude of the event, she was just Caroline as usual. We celebrated with the family the next weekend.

We moved into a new house at the end of the school year. Here are some photos of her playing in her new, much larger, space!

Both of us are enjoying our summer off with her!

When I look back to my post "The Lazy Days of Summer" from last year, I can't help but laugh. Yes, babies really do change everything. But I wouldn't want it any other way!

Lazy Days of Summer

It's been pretty nice, I have to say, to be enjoying time off so far this summer. I've been working here and there, Kevin has just been relaxing. We have been very into The Sopranos, and have watched six seasons worth of episodes since summer began. Needless to say, we are going to have to really clean up our language before school starts next year.



I'm taking a photography class and am learning how to "play around" with digital images to adjust settings and create effects. Here's a photo of the kids I played around with. It's from Easter Sunday.

It pretty much sums up their personalities right now, Jack worrying and Mack just being cool with it all. Gotta love em.

Tomorrow we go to the Diocese Office to bring all of our paperwork and see what's missing, pay another $1000, and wait to hear that we are officially "in the pool". Fingers crossed.
