Today is the day before, the day before, we leave for WDW!! Chad and I decided back in the cold days of February to treat our family to one of the 8 wonders of the world that is DISNEY. We will be there over Malia and Cole's "Gotcha Day", 4/30, so we hope this will be a special forever family day that they will not soon forget.
We also decided that since we are expecting baby #3, that we might as well go ahead and make the trip as a family of 4 and wait a few more years to go again when the baby will be out of diapers!
I think we are all packed and ready. After Malia's soccer game Saturday, we are OUTTA here!
We will be with out a computer for a whole week (yeah!) so I hope to have some new news on our adoption progress when we come home...a girl can hope, can't she?! Till then, have a Magical week and I'll go ahead and post new pictures of my kids here since that's what ya'll are looking for anyway! Ha!
Cole on a cool Spring day...
Malia and cousin Paige in the back of a 911...eat your heart out!

One tiny step closer...
Chad and I both recieved our letters from CIS for our fingerprinting appointments today! We are scheduled for April 1st...hope this wasn't their idea of a April Fool's joke!
It's a tiny step, but I'm thrilled to have something scheduled to get me one step closer to our next baby!! Please pray that my fingerprints pass the first time. It seems my prints are difficult to read and for Malia and Cole's processes, I've had to go to OKC to have my prints redone. Oh how I would love for them to be processed and approved the FIRST time!!! I've read that cornhuskers oil might to the trick...off to go get some!!

We're On The List!
Yahoo! Chad and I started our adoption process for baby #3 late last August and we can now proudly say, OUR HOMESTUDY IS APPROVED AS OF FEBRURARY 12, 2008 AND WE ARE ON THE LIST!!!!
It's crazy, but it's a true relief to know that we made it this far and now we can settle in and wait. Our agency has told us that we can have up to a 12 month wait for our referral, but things have been moving and we are hoping to know who our next child is by mid to late summer. We'll see. For now we'll be content to wait (I might need help remembering this!).
Our next big step is waiting to hear from CIS to come to Oklahoma City to be fingerprinted. We hope to see this in the next 2-3 weeks.

Cole's weather report...
Our conversation at lunch while Cole watches the noon news today:
Cole: It's gonna rain!
Me: Really? When?
Cole: last night!
Me: Oh..hmmm, that's cool!
Cole is truly fascinated lately with the weather. This morning he asked "why do we need tornados, mommy?" "Do tornados like to eat trees?" Good questions, my boy!
I love three year olds!!!

Halloween Par-tay!!!
Tis the season for some good ol' fashion costume-party-family-fun! My good friend Tracie threw quite the goolish bash this last weekend! I struggled all week trying to find just the right costume...well, the best that you could buy for less than 10 bucks, anyway ;-)!
Chad on the other hand didn't think a thing about it until the day of and he walked away with "Best Costume of the night" award...granted, the only ones who apparently voted were 4 little girls under the age of 8, but hey who can compete with that?! Here are some funny, and scary pictures below! Enjoy!
Here is one of our pumpkin that Chad carved...Pretty impressive if you ask me!

Flying high on his big day...
