We've been on the go this past month. We've had so much fun, but it'll be nice to 'rest' at home for a while... at least until Thanksgiving!
Scott and I were able to get away for a few days and meet up with friends from St. Louis in Ft. Lauderdale at the end of September. It was so nice just to relax, just the two of us. We didn't have to rush anywhere, get anyone ready but ourselves... and sleep in! The boys stayed with my mom and her husband, Big Mama and Jim Daddy, and had a blast. I'm sure Mom and Jimmy were exhausted by the time they got back home in Houston, but we were so grateful for them coming up.

Being Forest Gump. We passed by Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. one morning, and Scott couldn't resist.

Not long after our trip to Ft. Lauderdale, I was fortunate to go with Brannen to 5th grade camp. I'm not sure who had the most fun, me or Brannen! I'm already hoping I can go with Griffin when it's his turn.

The weekend after 5th grade camp, Scott and I went back to Southeast Missouri (the college we went to and actually where we met) for homecoming. Scott's fraternity brother Keith, from Houston, and our friend Christine, who lives around the corner, both went with us. It was a
fun trip, but a short one.

I had forgotten how beautiful the campus was during the Fall. Lots of trees turning colors.... something we don't get in McKinney! |
This was definitely a fun filled month, but the MOST exciting of it all, we got 4 new pics from China yesterday! We had asked if they could send us one, but we got 4! We aren't 'allowed' to post her picture until certain paperwork is processed. Once we get that, we will introduce her to you!
Happy Halloween Y'all!
Hi Courtney - I came upon your blog from a mutual friend of ours jennifer coco. :) We have a little girl who has been home from China almost 6 yrs! She has CL/CP. I wanted to stop by and tell you congratulations! Our little girl is the sunshine in each day! :) praying y'all travel sooner then your agency is guessing! We are praying to travel prior to Chinese New Year (Feb 10th) to bring our two boys home. Also, if your location is near Jennifer - we have an adoption ministry to support adoptive families. We'd love to have y'all join us. :) let me know if you would like to join us. soccermom@tx.rr.com
