Sweet Friends and Burgers, Burgers, Burgers....

You may remember me posting about our sweet friends Roxanne, Terry and little Eric. They had a referral for a beautiful little 5 year old girl from Ethiopia and just before their court date officials from her region came to the transition home and took her away. It is a long and complicated story, but to make it short, they will not be getting their little girl. Recently, they have gone back on the wait list for another child and although their hearts are broken they are healing. Sometimes dealing with foreign governments can be very difficult. For now though, look at the sweet addition they just made to their family.
Friends of ours had some puppies and what better way to mend a broken heart than a sweet little puppy like this?  They came down last weekend and picked her up.  She is named Lucy and is just the cutest thing.  She is a Bechon/Maltese mix and they have fallen in love. That makes me so happy:)
Today we went on a field trip to In N' Out Burger.  The kids got to go behind the counter and learn how to make all the food.  They then fed us at the end.  Wonderful! Levi has decided it is not cool to smile for pictures anymore.  He has a girl he has a crush on and he was more interested in impressing her:) Garrett had a great time teasing him the entire time.  Great brotherly love going on there. 
My friend, Lisa, sent me this picture she found on her phone of Amelia and Paige on Halloween.  Amelia was a ballerina and she was upset that her orange candy bag did not match her outfit.  Love that girl, she makes me smile every. single. day.  They both look like they are having a very serious conversation, probably trying to decide how they can sneak another piece of candy. Little stinkers:)
In other news, can you please pray for our family?  We have a very important decision to make by tomorrow and we want to make sure we are walking in God's will for our families lives.  I will explain more later, but if you are a prayer warrior, a few sent our families way would be greatly appreciated.

I am off to change my clothes.  Hubby and I are off on a date this evening.  Yippee!!
