It's been a while

Well I am not sure if it was the overwhelming frustration with the adoption process or the stress related to buying and selling our house (in winter no less) but I have been absent from the blogging world.




Next week Dan and I will mark the 1 year mark in our official wait. last year at this time we thought we would very close to a referral if not already, however we have been told it will be at least another year. We have been updating the homestudy and have another home visit scheduled this week with our adoption social worker.









Valarie and Jonathan have a referral and hope to travel this summer to pick up little Hudson Joon Hart Smith. He is such a cutie with wild hair. I am so excited for her and cannot wait to meet Hudson and see my baby sister as a momma!







We purchased our new home on March 22 and am totally smitten with it! we only spent a few nights there before heading to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for a much needed vacation from reality! We are so thankful for Dan's parents, Kathy and Ernie, for providing the opportunity to spend time there.
