Staying Busy

We are so excited that our case is now in the India courts awaiting scrutinization and then guardianship. We're trying not to get our hopes up too high about potential travel dates since this new 800 process is still so unknown but with the arrival of spring weather and news of things moving along, we can't help but feel hopefully cautious. :)

The kids and I spent last week in Texas with my family, celebrating my grandad's life and just enjoying time together. We soaked up every minute of the warm weather and wonderful time with family.

Lucy especially loved seeing all her cousins.



This is where Nate was happiest - in Pops' arms.


My "Cole" shelf in the hall closet is becoming more and more full! My aunt blessed us with this amazing handmade quilt for him along with a sweet horse stuffed animal.


Here is Cole's backpack for church and other outings from Aunt Michelle. Nate has a matching one that is a monkey.


Cole's lovey blanket - can't wait to see him clutching it in his little hand.


And finally, I've taken advantage of amazing shopping deals lately and got a few packs of diapers and lots of wipes for free or close to it. Today, I got all of this for 27 CENTS (would have been around $30).


Thankfully, our calendar is filling up with fun trips and visits which are sure to make the time fly! Disney is next in just 5 days!

I am glad you had a good trip and have Disney to look forward to next :). Praying you get scrutinization soon.

Love all the Cole goodies :)

27 cents?? Please share your secret! Glad you had some time with your family -- looks like everyone is eager to welcome him home.

No secret, Nancy! I just follow www.moneysavingmom.com. She (and others) do all the research and work on where to shop and which coupons to use and then off I go! It's been great fun to get lots of items for little to no money!
