One Year Ago Today

One year ago today our lives were changed in the most amazing way as our daughter Haylee Mei was placed in our arms. What an amazing adventure adoption has been! We are so truly blessed and words cannot express my feelings on this day as we celebrate our one year anniversary together. She is so amazing and we are grateful that we've been allowed to add this brilliant girl to our family!!!

To celebrate we went out to dinner at a Chinese restaurant. (I know it isn't much considering what a momentous occasion this is but we still have four little kids so we can't do anything too crazy.)

A Hole in the Ground

Our little lot now has a giant hole in the ground. Yay! It has begun! We went and checked it out last night and it is starting to feel real. We were surprised to see how far our lot actually went back and a little disappointed to realize that we will have four giant trees on our property. But it will give us a little bit more space. There is quite a drop off but our builder will be installing a retaining wall so that all of our backyard will be useable. Me and Kev are very excited - the kids not so much. They just wanted to head to the park like we'd promised.

Permits are in!

So it is official. Permits were turned in last Friday. Our builder is saying that it will take about two weeks. We are anxious to get started.
