Soccer Ends

Jenny played in her last soccer game this past Saturday. She was finally beginning to get the concept of the game. I'm excited to see how well she does next year. We had a busy weekend. We went to Marshall for high school graduation. The trip took forever to get there and coming back wasn't much better. We actually had to go through a sobriety check point on the way home. We were all tired and fussy by that point. Luckily we got home safely. Saturday was full with hair appointments and soccer. Horseback riding was cancelled again. It seems that things just won't align right for horseback. Hopefully, we will get back on track this week. Travis and I had a nice day on Monday. We went to see Star Trek with some friends while a babysitter watched our kids. The movie was fantastic. On the adoption front, we are still waiting. That will most likely be our status for several months. We are fortunate that Jenny keeps us busy enough to not drive ourselves crazy with the wait. The last bit of exciting news in our world- we are land owners! We bought 21.6 acres of land in Marshall. We don't intend to build a home up there, maybe a cabin for escape eventually, but land is always a good investment because they sure aren't making more of it.

First Official Blog Post

This is the first post on our family blog. There is lots going on in our lives. Our daughter, Jenny, has a genetic disorder called Criduchat. She is a remarkable child and has enriched our lives beyond measure. Jenny is currently playing soccer and doing therapeutic horseback riding on top of her regular weekly physical, occupational and speech therapy sessions. She likes the soccer, but not so much the horseback riding. We are on the official waiting list for a referral to adopt a child from Korea. You do not get to chose gender, but can put in a preference. We have requested a girl. We hope to get a referral before the end of the year and travel as soon as allowed thereafter. Travis is returning to school this fall to attend law school while still working a full time job. As for me, I'm working full-time and keeping up with my family (which is another full- time job).
