1st birthday

monday was little mans first birthday... he had a blast. his auntie jamy brought cupcakes from her work and came down to help me decorate. i got off work 3 hours early. bought decorations at the dollar store (i love the dollar store)and went and picked him up from my mother in laws house and off we went to finish cleaning up the house before everyone arrived. everyone showed up with gifts in hand for cupcakes at 630. it was so nice of everyone to bring him something, i kinda expected that they would but it was not something that was needed. we just had a welcome to the family party in mid sept and everyone went all out that day too... cant wait to see whats in store for christmas. he got some great stuff... tons of toys and clothes and a smart trike (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4417538) its soo cool. cant wait till the weather is nicer to go on walks.

told you so...

so i mentioned that i suck at blogging...and i am right. last blog was sept 25th and now its nov! we have been sooo busy adjusting from being a family of 2 to a family of 3 with an almost 1 year old. not much has really changed since sept. we are still doing everything we need to do so that we can adopt him. next court date is in feb and we will just go from there.

1st blog

so i am new at this blogging thing... kinda. i have started several blogs but i always abandon them after one post or so. i dont really know what to say, or even how often to say it... so i will start with something

i will refer to my self as A and my wife as C. i dont really want our names out there in cyber space so everyone can find us!

a little about us. we are both will be 30 next year! (holy crap!!!) and have been together since we were 18 and married for 2 years. we live in northern california and love it here, would not live anywhere else... well maybe somewhere tropical!

about a year ago we decided that we wanted to do foster to adopt. we did our 27 hours of training, back ground checks and all that goes with that to get licensed. we were officially licensed april of this year.

we got a email about a special needs baby in july and even though we were not licensed for a infant we decided that he was perfect for us (he will be refereed to as little man, we cant post his name, story or pictures until he is legally adopted.) after some meetings and an over night visit he came to live with us on sept 1st and he has changed our life in the best way possible.

so this blog is to journal our adventure in foster to adopt and for family and friends to join us in this journey.
