Spring Portraits

We had some family Portraits taken in June.  I knew we would want some current ones for our Adoption Profile.  We've started the adoption process and we are working on our home study and profile.  We're almost done, we've been on a fast track in order to be considered for a baby that is due on my birthday (August 25th).  It seems like everything has just fallen into place.   We have felt a lot of peace and direction as we have gone through this process and we are excited to see where it leads.  It looks like Mark's last day at Microsoft will be on Friday, the 13th.  Despite the ironic date, we think it's a blessing overall.  Mark's severance pay should cover many of the adoption costs.  Mark will start his new job at Balihoo on July 25th.  During his week off, we'll probably go to Yellowstone for a couple days.  It will be nice to have a vacation, we've been pretty busy lately.  I hope you are all doing well.  We're excited to see everyone in a few weeks.  We'll keep you all posted if anything interesting happens.  We love you!
