Already December?

Wow! Time sure flies! I can't believe I last wrote in October. We just returned from a cruise to Cozumel and we are trying to regain our warmth! This was our second "last vacation" before the baby comes. (The first "last vacation" was in 2005.) How nice to be snorkeling in December!! Why do we live here again??????

Well, a lot has happened in 2 months. Most importantlly, we have decided to attempt to make a move back to Minnesota. Justin is looking for a new job and the house hunt has begun. We will likely move back into the same general area as before, though we realize it will be impossible to find such an amazing circle! It will be good to be back. The long and short of this decision is that we have enjoyed being closer to family immensely and Justin's job is going great, but daily life around here has not been easy. And, we miss Minnesota so much that we just need to get back! Obviously, there is more to it, but we'll save that for a conversation! We are are glad to have made the move for numerous reasons, but now we are glad to be heading back. We'll see what happens in the coming months!

On the adoption front, we are getting closer. We hope to have our referral (picture and medical info) in January--February at the latest. That means that we will most likely travel in March or April. It looks like we will have a busy new year ahead! Please continue to pray that our little girl is getting everything that she needs to develop and bond. These months are very important for development in her little life and we pray that she is getting the nourishment and love that she needs. She will probably be 12-14 months old when we bring her home, which would make her about 9-11 months right now.

Thanks for checking in. Hope to have lots of updates in the weeks to come!!
