Busy Day

Friday the kids didn't have school. I filled the day with appointments. First the older two got their teeth cleaned, then took the dogs for exams and shots, then off to the post office to apply for all four of the kids passports. After the post office we ate a quick bite of lunch with dad, then went home for about an hour, then back to town for Chase to get two of his teeth pulled. He has teeth coming in behind other teeth and his mouth was too crowded. He's going to have several appointments coming up to make room for all his teeth. Conor just got his braces off in December and now Chase is starting early his Orthodontics. Later Conor had a game against Lincoln City and they Won! Steve left early this morning for Ireland and my in laws are here for the week to help out. Wish I could have gone, I have always wanted to visit Ireland.

Adoption update: We should be receiving our I-800a approval any day now. I plan on calling on Friday if I don't hear anything before then. Once we get that approval we will send it for certification and authentication and then our Dossier will be complete. Still hoping to be DTC by the end of February!

Parker's first basketball game

Parker had his first two games of the season this week. The first game he got to play point guard and did great with the ball. His team ended up loosing pretty bad in that game. Then the next day they played again and won.

Chase last dual meet

Chase had his last Dual meet this week. I always get so stressed watching him because I know how much it means to him. He ended up pinning the kid in the second round. I love watching him with his teammates. He's got some good buddies that are 8th graders and will be moving on to high school next year.

Chase Basketball

Chase had his first game this weekend. It was quite the game. Chase got hurt at one point, a scratch near his eye. He did really well taking the ball down and passing. He scored 6 points and assisted several other ones.

Conor Basketball

The last couple games I didn't bring my camera and always feel bad, so tonight I brought my camera to Conor's game. They played Yamhill and they won by over twenty. They all did good and played hard. Conor is #33

My top 12 favorite pictures of 2013!

I seen another blogger do this and thought it was a good idea. I take so many pictures throughout the year and it is really hard to just pick 12. I'm going to choose one from each month and try to include one of each kid.
