Happy Halloween

Before and after shots of Halloween #5

Quite a haul for this little one!

I wonder if all this candy will last until next year????

Her first trophy!

Her first trophy! Soccer season is over.

Abby really enjoyed playing soccer this fall. She met new friends and learned some basic soccer skills. She is looking forward to doing it all over again next fall.

Hopefully she will gain a bit more confidence and have a bit more interest next year. She is only 5 after all and socializing with her friends is more her "thing" right now. Even her coach commented about how Abby knows "everybody" LOL

We will miss soccer, but not sitting out in the cold!

Winter is approaching, we will be looking for an indoor activity to keep us busy!

Jumping in the leaves!

Fun Fun Fun.....................for Abby!

Kevin raked the entire back yard today. This is 1/2 the leaves he collected!

Abby enjoyed the afternoon jumping in the pile Dad left her at the bottom of her slide!

We love doing this every year!

update!!!!!!! :)

Well, things are going just as planned with the Thailand program. It is still consistent to when we started and we are so happy about that! We should be hearing about Shaun sometime between March and June. Too many factors to know for sure, but I have a good feeling! I have been saying March for a few months now, I just feel it.

So we gladly take the good news! Sure we have to re-do some things, but we've done it all before! It's hard to believe we started the process for him long, long ago. It's amazing where time takes us. From Mongolia to Thailand...................

Abby told me the other day that Shaun was born in June..........? What do you all think? Any feeling out there yet? I do feel him in my heart. I am starting to "miss" him, just the way I "missed" Abby before we met her. He has entered my dreams, and I love him already. I just cannot wait to see his face, see his eyes and hear his sounds.

We talked about him with Abby yesterday, about the update. She seems so comfortable, so healthy and honest in her thinking. I am no longer sorry for telling her about the adoption. She is a big part of why we are doing it and to hear her thoughts, just adds to mine. She is feeling him in her heart too..........

Here are some silly, cute adorable pics of Abby yesterday in the yard. Kev and I think she is just so beautiful and seeing her in these pics makes us realize the size lock we will have to get when she turns into a teenager! (SCARY)

Enjoy!
