I figured since I haven't posted in awhile I needed to get my writing on. There has been a whole lot going on at the Parker house the past couple of months. Just to give you a minor update we still have not heard anything further on our adoption process. Although we have really enjoyed the idea of adopting through the state we aren't so sure this is the route we are going to continue on. There has been several set backs some in which are completely out of our control.
Let me just say as far as the program goes it is wonderful for couples who are wanting to foster but when it comes to adopting we aren't sure it's right for us. After talking to several other families and just by asking general questions things haven't turned out the way we imagined. Right now we are praying about other options such as using a Christian adoption agency in Fayetteville. I will keep you posted on what we decide. Either way God will bring our child to us.
Well we finally got the trees decorated and the lights put on the house! Yay! Now if we could just get all the presents wrapped. I know in service my wonderful husband acted like he didn't enjoy watching Christmas movies with me but I beg to differ. Just the other day we watched a movie and wrapped presents. I even tried to do it when he wasn't home but he wouldn't let me.
So this Friday I will be making 5 dozen cookies for a cookie exchange party I was invited to on Saturday. So I would just like to say I tried to get my cookies from Paul's but Sheena would not let me! If my cookies taste bad all I can say is "She made me do it!" She even helped me pick out the recipe. Hope everyone likes eggnog as much as we do! :)
Landon experienced a first last week. Congratulations on making it through your first black Friday sale. He has never been shopping with me on this day ever! There were times when he would just go stand in line so that I could go grab all the things I needed. He would just stand there half asleep holding my place so we could check out. By the end of the night he turns to me in the sweetest way only to say " I will never go shopping with you ever again!" He was definately a trooper. He is in for some more shopping because we aren't even close to being done. We like prolonging our shopping. Every year we go out on a weekday to eat dinner and do some shopping. It seems so busy on the weekends that during the week we can look around and just enjoy time together. We even sneak in some hot chocolate. Well I will definately take some pictures of our house, trees, and cookies so that I can post them soon. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!
