Bethany's first snow January 2010

Can't believe we have had snow three times this winter!

Adoption Finalization

We finalized the adoption on December 1, 2009. It was a great day! Bethany was great during the court hearing and we got to see and spend time with Bethany's birth mom, Mandy, too.

Christmas 2009

Christmas was lots of fun! Bethany loved eating the wrapping paper, tissue paper and bags. She liked all of her fun new toys too.

Baby Dedication November 2009

Well...since it has been FOREVER since I actually updated my blog I will try to do several posts in one.

Updated blog- finally!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it has almost been three months since I last updated the blog, which also means that Bethany is almost three months old!!! Time really does fly when you are having fun. She is such a sweet baby and we are loving being her parents. We are so thankful that God gave her to us. She has grown a lot and she is cooing and smiling more each day. Here are some recent pics.

She's Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bethany Michelle was born today, June 4th at 6:15 pm. She is a big girl- 10 lbs and 2 oz. She is absolutely perfect and I must say, the most beautiful baby I have ever seen, but I'm sure I'm biased. We laughed because every time we commented on her weight she cried. One nurse said she not chubby she's "LGE" (large). Thanks for all the prayers!

The Room!

We are almost done with the room! We got the dresser and bookshelf last week from a great store that my sweet friend, Libby, recommended. We are still waiting on the glider, but it should be here in about four more weeks. I can't believe the due date is exactly two months from today! She will be here soon! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have been taking advantage of the fact that our lives are about to change forever by eating out several times this week. We enjoyed eating at Longhorn (yay for gift cards!!) last weekend, Tuscany, an Italian restaurant on Monday night, breakfast at IHOP yesterday morning and Canyons Burger tonight. Nothing like not having to cook on your Spring Break! We've also been told to sleep in as much as possible by many friends so we have been lazy this week too(like we really needed an excuse). We were somewhat productive most days. Cary worked on cleaning out the basement and I cleaned out our closet. I love Spring cleaning! Crazy, I know, but it just makes me feel good to organize and throw things out. I guess that's why Cary calls me Monica. :)
