The Latest and Greatest


We had the BEST weekend ever.  Not just because we had a nice trip down south but because we were CHOSEN as the adoptive parents for a baby yet to be among us!  We met our birth mother who is exceptional in so many ways.  Fortunately we got to spend most of the weekend with her getting to know each other better.   She has a hilarious sense of humor.   She is very pretty, very kind, and very thoughtful.   It has been really fun to start learning more about her home country and her life before she came to the states.  Both of us are so impressed and found ourselves nervous to meet her...what if we didn't look as good in person as we did in the pictures she'd seen?  Worse yet, what if she changed her mind!  Luckily, that didn't happen haha.  We did some hiking together, played in sand, went out to eat, and looked at facebook family pics.  So that new baby counter you see is not a mistake, she is due in April and we can't wait!  Love you Jaylene!

Oh goodness you two are too good to me. And that baby in the counter is very alien-esque, and I don't think it helps that it's just floating around in that bubble.
Love YOU!

That is GREAT news!!

Hey Amy, your Dad gave me some apples from off his tree Friday and they are the best apples ever. Do you know what kind they are? Does he spray them? They are like eating candy. Tell him thanks.

Jared & Amy! This brings tears to my eyes! PLEASE keep us posted on everything - and especially if you have a baby shower (just cause you're not giving birth, doesn't mean you shouldn't have one)! Congradulations! I'm so excited!
