Busy in October :)

We are doing good and keeping superbusy!  Lots going on in our household...Korey is working a lot of powerwashing jobs on top of his job at the Hospital.  Kooper and Kamryn just started gymnastics, and we started bible school on Wednesdays.  I am taking some online courses and we are still working on classes for our adoption.  We thought our homestudy would be passed end of August, but have ran into some snags so have done a couple classes on Transracial adoption and preparing your children for it and SOON the homestudy should be complete...which means we can work on FBI clearance and our dossier!  So we still have quite a long ways to go until we get to know our new baby/child that we already love...but we are talking about him or her constantly and SO excited!  All in God's timing and I have to remember that, because I have always been very impatient!

Meanwhile, we have a different kind of baby we are loving on at our house....kittens...i only have one pic right now of one of our bigger kittens...but we have 7 total.  5 that are 4 weeks old and 2 that are 12 weeks.  The girls LOVE playing with them.
 Who knew, but the new thing in school the kids spent the fall learning about was the monarch butterfly and the stages it goes through to become a beautiful butterfly.  So Grandma Vicki and Kooper went on many hunts for milkweed and the monarch caterpillar and then brought them to school and the kids watched them turn into chrysallis's and then butterflies.  Cool huh?
 I got this pic outside our house, one of our trees had over a hundred monarchs on it just one evening.  it was really neat to see!
 Posing outside.  This girl is a preschooler now and loves "nastics" (gymnastics)
 And these two goofballs...who knew a bath without water could be so fun!!
Thank goodness these girls and Kooper keep us laughing!  What would we do without them!! 
Well, one day i will get around to posting more often and i want to share some good recipes too...but until then...take care!
