It's A Date

We have a date!!!! Finally! We have a termination date! August 22 will be the day that determines if birth parent's rights are terminated. Less than 4 months until this date, but who is counting? Tyler and I have been over the moon excited today and could shout it from the rooftops! One step closer to being a forever family! We are praying the judge does terminate rights and we can continue to move forward with the adoption. I felt like one of the huge weights that have been weighing us down for so long was lifted today. We still have a ways to go but we are moving in the right direction!

Not only are we counting down to the TPR date but we are counting down to the end of school! We are so excited to be home with our sweet boy and to make more memories. He has enjoyed the beautiful weather and being outside. He is so busy and amazed by everything. I love how excited he gets when he sees a dandelion and yells "Look Mommy a flower!" Something that we view as a pesky weed is one of the greatest things to our sweet boy. We spend lots of time picking flowers, playing in the dirt, going for walks, swinging, and playing on his slide. He is happy with the simplest of things and is a great reminder to just slow down and enjoy what we have. This Mommy is ready to have even more time to just soak up my sweet boy and enjoy his curiosity and wonder.

Thank you for your prayers! Please keep them coming!

 His first time meeting a horse (and of course holding a dandelion)

 He is growing up so quickly and holding another dandelion :) 

 He loves to get dirty!

Playing a little golf.

 Petting an owl at the zoo.

He was amazed by the manatees!
