We had a ball on Christmas Eve!!! We had 26 people this year...the usually bunch and we add a few extras. Here is our traditional P.J.'s pic with the deMarini and Russell kids. We have done this for the past 4 years....If I get me act together...I will post all the pictures in one post! More pictures of the night to follow!

We finally made it to a BSU game....the very last one...but at least we made it! The Bronco's won and we all had a great time! Here are a few pics of the boys and their new hats.

thank you notes

So.....just throwing this out there; has the art of writing thank you notes completely gone out the window? I was raised to show appreciation for the thoughtfulness of others and do so by writing THANK YOU NOTES for gifts and placing them in the mail. I am raising my boys to do this as well. I know that I'm not the only one that still does this because I have received some very nice ones from friends and family, but is this no longer etiquette? I'd even be happy getting a THANK YOU email. I think it's just a classy thing to do! I know we are all busy...but come on people!!

Adoption blues

So time marches on and still no great news to share. I find myself in a place I really never thought I'd be at again. Lots of feelings coming to the surface that existed back when we were struggling to conceive our boys. However this time they are accompanied by a splash of guilt being that I know how lucky I am to have two happy healthy beautiful boys. Is it too much to ask for just one more happy healthy beautiful face to call my own? Am I selfish for wanting more? Why is it that some things come so easy for some and such a struggle for others? I'm still so new with this blogging thing, but wish I knew how to use it to reach out to others who are in my same boat. Can you help?
