i600A Approval!

 

We got our i600A approval form the U.S. government last week, approving us to be adoptive parents!  The next step is waiting for a referral to a specific child and then sending in our Dossier to DR Congo.  We hope to be matched with a specific child by this summer.

Spring Break in Wisconsin

 

The boys and I flew to Wisconsin to visit family over Isaac's spring break.  The flight there was a bit rocky with Micah.  Micah loves to run around the house with minimal clothing these days.  So the minute he spilt juice on shirt on the plane he was trying to strip down.  Not appropriate on a plane of course.  So as I tried to keep him from taking off his clothes he kept yelling, "I'm wet, I just want to be naked", at the top of his lungs over and over.  But we made it there, clothes and all, and had a great time once we got settled in.

 

We celebrated Cousin Maddy's 5th birthday

Maddy and Micah were quite the team... making a mess with water

Isaac wanted to eat all the easter eggs, no decorate them

 

Micah's first Chuck E Cheese experience.  He loved it and always mentions that Chuck E' loves cheese anytime he eats cheese now

Butterflies!

 

We went to Wisconsin for Isaac's spring break a week ago.  Luke stayed home to get a bunch of work done.  January to April 15th is his busiest time at work and it gave him some time to put in a lot of hours.  We had a fun week in Wisconsin taking the kids to different places.  Here is a video of Micah in the butterfly exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum.  More pictures from the trip to follow.
