Weekend Update

.

We celebrated our adoption day (which was actually Tuesday) Saturday night at the Ethiopian restaurant in Madison...finger lickin' good (oh wait, someone's already used that slogan, haven't they?)! All week I've been thinking how grateful I am to be on this side of the "mountain" and how rich our lives are with our two beautiful girls. I love how each of them came to our family and count each process a true miracle. So much to be grateful for!

You can guarantee not an ounce of this dorowat's chicken graced these lips. See that keen eye she's giving her mama? That's business, folks...real meat-watching business! Can't slip nothin' past this one! :-)

Today Danny had the opportunity to watch the Packers WIN in Green Bay! The girls and I started some packing around here and then headed to my sister's for some pumpkin carving. It was another first for Luca, and she did great. The girl LOVES a project, so she was diligent in punching her little holes in the pumpkin pattern and thought the whole thing was a fine idea.
