Birthday, Last Day of School, Father's Day, ETC...



It's been 11 days since I posted! I try to post something atleast once a week, but with a birthday, last week of school, Father's Day and everything else, life got a bit too crazy for me to do it... here are some pictures of what we've done in the past week and a half!

The boys are out of school (which, I LOVE). The last week of school was hectic with lots of different activities between the 2 boys classes... Calvin had a First grade AWARD night last monday night where he was awarded "The Most Optimistic". Noah was awarded the "Best Encourager" award in his Third grade class. Even though these are things we know are true in our children, it was kinda nice to see that their teachers saw those qualities in them as well. Friday was last day of school and summer vacation officially began TODAY! It's soooo nice to have the boys at home. They have begun their summer schedules (I keep them busy with summer workbooks, reading, playing outside, etc.) Last summer, I spent most of it on the computer and phone since we were paperchasing... this summer, I intend to ENJOY it with my boys. I know I sound like a broken record, but they are growing up too fast!

Enjoy the pictures!

Portland Marathon 2013 (My First ever Marathon Recap)

I wanted to capture my moment by moment FIRST marathon experience so here goes: I'll start with the night before: We went over to Aaron's parents house to have some dinner with them as well as Micah & Danielle (Aaron's brother and wife) and their kids, Gabriel and Grace, and Mathew and Taylor (cousins of our kids).   We got back to our hotel (Hilton downtown) around 7:15pm and I organized my outfit for the big day while Aaron took the kids swimming at the pool.  I agonized back and forth about whether to carry my Nathan hydration vest or not for a week and Aaron finally helped me make the decision that although the aid stations were going to be plenty, I should go ahead and carry my own water.... because he knows that  1) I don't like stopping to get water even if it's a moment because I feel like I lose momentum 2) I am really BAD at drinking from the cups and have gotten multiple water sloshes up my nose (which hurts!) and water on my shoes (which, is BA...

Much has happened...

It's been exactly one week since we were given our bad news about not being able to adopt the girls from Indonesia. God has really comforted us alot during the past week... I still have a hard time not crying when someone asks me when we can go get the girls.... In my excitement, I showed so many people at church and friends the pictures of the girls because in my heart, I really felt these girls were ours. But, God is not done writing our story ~ I know that this will have a Godly outcome and we will move forward. We have had lots of support and encouragement ~ most people we know well have expressed their sadness over this. I returned the bedding I bought for the girls at the store and when I did, I was sorta in a sad mood.... the person handling the returns said "Are these not going to work out?" to which, I replied "No, it's not" and then she felt like she had to push the issue with me and said "Is there anything wrong with it?" By then, I...
