Getting Settled

Here is a quick overview of our past month. In some ways, the month went so quickly. In others, it seems like we have been home for a year vs. a month. Lots of runny noses and colds this month, but even buggery noses are sweet!

Isaiah LOVES to play in the dirt.
Hanging out with Sydney
Isaiah having fun wrestling with Jackson
Getting a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch with Raegan
Hanging out in the Ergo. (Note: This has been the greatest carrier. I tried the wrap, and Isaiah just didn't seem to "fit". It was tough for me to carry him on my front, so this has been a great alternative. When he needs to be near me, I can still get things done like cook supper, vacuum, clean bathrooms, fold laundry, etc! If you are adopting an older baby--over a year--I would encourage you to at least check this out.)
More dirt!Lots of my sweet friends threw me a baby shower this past month. My camera battery was dead, so I only have this picture. (If any of you have any pics, can you e-mail them to me?) This was such a sweet, sweet day for me. It was one of the most meaningful baby showers I have ever been to, and I was so encouraged and blessed.
The serious look. I just love this face.
First taste of Gambinos with Uncle Marc and Aunt KatyCarving Jack-o-lanturns!

Bedtime stories. That's it for now!

I am so happy for you and loved following your story! It seemed like this time would never come so it's hard to believe it is now a reality. God Bless! We are looking forward to meeting Isaiah when we come to Wichita soon!
