Where the heck did the time go???

You probably thought that we had fallen off the face of the earth. Not so...We are just super busy. Where to begin, I am working full time in L&D and loving it! I work nights so flip flopping is a challenge, at times. It seems to be working well for us though. Troy has had some interesting job developments over the last few months. He lost his main client back in July and that has really put us in a bind. We basically have been living off of my income, which is less then half of what Troy was making. So we have been cutting back a lot. We have also had some really generous people help us out. I don't think that we could have survived the last few months without these people. Thanks you to those that have helped! A month ago, we decided that Troy should start looking for full time work. He has been on several interviews and thankfully God has blessed us. He started a job today! Praise God!!!

Where are the kids in all of this? Well, we enrolled the kids in day school at our church. So, on Tuesday and Thursday they are there and loving it. That leaves us with just one day every other week that we need a sitter. We have that all worked out already! On Friday we have our homeschool co-op. The kids are enjoying this as well. Collette has been playing soccer and loving it. She has her last game this Saturday. So far her team has gone undefeated! Dakota is getting ready to be 2 years old. I can't believe he is that old. He is still such a sweet boy. But man, is he ever a boy. He loves playing ball, cars, blocks, or guns. He keeps us on our toes. He is talking more, except Troy and I are the only ones who can understand him.

Adoption update: We are 4 months in on the waiting list. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Average wait time is 8 months, so we are more then half way there. It is really a quiet time and it helps that we are so busy. It makes me look back at the last 4 months and think, Where did all that time go? We are ready to see our baby and find out if it is a boy or a girl. It will happen in God's time. We are just praying for a healthy, happy baby.

I will post pics as soon as I get a chance. In the meantime enjoy the update. Hopefully, I will be back on her sooner than 4 months.
