This past weekend we were able to celebrate Christmas with my brother and his family. We celebrated by opening gifts saturday afternoon after the kids took naps....which was followed by a jaunt in the snow. This was Leahs first time playing in the snow. Last year she was too little..and the snow was too high. She had loads of fun...and didn't seem to mind the cold! We all enjoyed spending time together and alas the weekend flew by without a blink of the eye. Tomorrow is my last 1/2 day of work before a 11 day stretch off at Christmas. These are the days when working in academia truly pays off. Of course I will checking my email and voice mail and making sure my students are all geared up for their fieldwork placements...but I am thankful I can do that at home in pajamas!
On the adoption front we are in the process of getting our homestudy started and I have begun filling out the 7 applications for all the agencies we are working with. We have taken a much different route this time...and it entails a lot more paperwork...but hopefully a shorter wait. I am so excited to find out who this next addition to the family is....but am also cherishing the time with Leah as an only child. She is so gentle and sharing with other children....I think she will make a perfect big sister. Hopefully her demeanor won't change too much as she ages and her will becomes stronger.
So...here they are...the long awaited pictures from this weekend!
Dad...I'm not so sure I know what's going on?
Forget the sled Tanner....lets go!
