Babysitting

Now that we have been approved to adopt we are over qualified babysitters....ha ha.
Scott and I are babysitting a one year old little boy tonight. He is a cutie, big eyes, a couple of little teeth, he wobbles when he walks, and for a little one he has a little deeper voice than most. He is full of energy and Loves Vern, and visa versa. If Vern goes downstairs he wants to go too, he'll say dog. The poor little guy is teething and has some snot issues, which became even worse when I tried to rock him asleep. Vern was so worried when he cried, I guess it hurt his ears and knew something was not right. Anyway all is well, he is sleeping with his little bear and we are listening to him with the baby monitor.
Hopefully a preview of what our little ones will be like.

We have had a busy last month. Scott started a new job with Guidestone in "uptown" Dallas. So far he and the new crew have been training and will soon be let loose to go write insurance. From what I understand they are starting almost from scratch, which is exciting and scary at the same time. But, I am pretty sure it is all going to work out fine.

Scott has also started teaching Sunday School again (Adult Bible Fellowship). So far no one has shown up, which is sad because he is a good teacher. But, maybe it is just bad timing.

Scott also started going back to DBU last spring and has three classes this semester. As you can see Scott is pretty busy..  :-). I have been debating whether to lead a bible study or not. I have also been busy thinking about my childhood, dealing with issues there, growing and moving on.

I am going to post some pics of our Austin and Stillwater trips from the last two weeks. Stay tuned.

Adoption

So as many of you figured out, we are in the midst of adopting. We are approved by the state of TX and deemed capable of caring for children. YAY, We have hit our ninth month and my mind is thinking its time to have kids. I feel like I should have the house done, their rooms painted, and decorated, but we don't know who we are getting yet, so it's not a good idea to do that yet. For me right now the adoption is really nerve wracking and I'm trying.....trying to be patient. We have submitted many groups we are interested in, but have not heard a peep back yet. I take that back, One group were adopted by their foster parents...yay for them :-). I know that we still have plenty of time, but What you know and how you feel about something can be totally different. I have to keep reminding myself 1 God is in control. 2. God knows where our kids are 3 God is in control, HIS timing is perfect, Mine is not. ~~~ this goes on over and over in my mind, one day I'll get it.

Hugs to all of our friends
