Well, I guess it's official. I am a lame blogger. I don't know what happened to me...all the sudden I just stopped blogging. The truth is, I am on my computer about 20 hours a week for work and between that and the baby, I'm pretty much busy every hour of every day!..and after all those hours on the laptop all week, sometimes I just can't bear to stare at my computer screen any more!
Anyway - I figured it's about time to post some pics of the baby and a couple important updates. Here they are...our adoption became final on December 15th. It was a day that we were very excited for. There was a snafu or two with our paperwork, withour attorney, etc, and so it finalized a few days after it was supposed to. But, overall, it went okay. Now we're just waiting for our decree to arrive in the mail...it was supposed to get here two weeks ago...so, hopefully it arrives soon.
The baby had her first Halloween - she was a bumble bee. Her first Thanksgiving which we spent at my parents house...and her first Christmas and it was so much fun. We spent a lot of time with family, friends, etc over the holidays and overall it was relaxing and enjoyable.
Cameron had time off school and we both had two weeks off from teaching our classes, over the holidays. So, that was a much-needed break. Of course Cameron still worked, but working - without school and teaching - seems like a breeze! :)
Now we are looking forward to our sealing to Stella in the Mesa Temple on January 31st and her baby blessing in our ward on February 1st.
Here are some pictures of the last couple months...
