peeking into the future

So, you may be wondering what is happening with adoption #2. Well, we are too! ha! Just kidding. 

We had originally thought we would go back to get a baby girl in 6 to 9 months after getting Joseph. Well, we're still going back to get a baby girl, but our time line is getting pushed back a little. We have some paperwork to get in, of course. We were disappointed to learn yesterday that the social worker needs to fly out here to do another home visit. He wasn't going to need to do this, but since we moved he needs to come see our new place. 

In the mean time we are peeking into the future and dreaming about our little girl. We are loving our time with Joseph. He's learning and growing so much. He's such a joy to us. :)

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have actually been updating our family blog more and I'm almost ready to turn this blog back into what it was supposed to be for....adoption blogging.... more to come soon. 

We've been busy lately. We moved to a new city, new apartment. We're settled in and we're finding our way around. Needless to say....it's been a big adjustment. 

We always try to find time for couch time! Once in a while Joseph will sit with me on my lap to watch some Baby Einstein. He doesn't just sit and watch TV on his own, but he loves to watch it when he's sitting in my lap. :) Gotta love it!!

4th of July

We want to wish you a happy 4th of July from the other side of the world. We are feeling pretty festive in our USA shirts! 

We're thankful that we are all three Americans. We found that just having an American passport is such a privilege. We won't be seeing any fireworks today. We plan on picking up some KFC and going to the beach...just a regular Friday in the Arab world!! :)

We have had fun playing Peek-A-Boo with Joseph lately! He covers his eyes with his hands and then open his hands up and we say, "peek-a-boo!" He smiles real big when we do it!!! 

He also still likes it when we ask, "how big is Joseph?" He holds his hands up....so cute!! 

Here's a video of Joseph showing how big he is:
