Seventh Day


We traveled today to Mammoth Cave National Park. Jonah really enjoyed his two hour cave tour. He spent half of it being held and walk, ran, and skipped for the other half of the tour. He loves caves and was smiling most of the time. The top photo is Jonah traveling through "fat man's misery" which was no problem for Jonah. The bottom photo is of him looking for purple bears deep in the cave. You would be surprised how many different colors of bears live deep in Mammoth Cave. Jonah once again proved he is a top notch adventurer and was lauded by the ranger for how well he traveled through the cave.

Sixth Day

Today we started off with a fun game of family pictures. Then Piper, Jonah and I ventured to Columbus to visit Aunt Ruth. We concluded the day be visiting Matt and Sarah in Louisville Kentucky. We will be hanging out here for a couple of days.

Fourth Day (Part 2)




Jonah is smiling in the top picture. He was a little cold during our hike this morning. He doesn't like 30 degree temperatures with 15 mph winds very much. We did get a light dusting of snow overnight though. Below is a picture of the family around the Christmas tree. Happy Christmas to everyone! I need to go to sleep. The Santa tracker just told me that Santa is in Ohio right now!

Fourth Day



Here are some images of our last couple of days. On December 21 Jonah and the family traveled to see Jonah's Great-Grandmother. She is doing well and was very excited to see Jonah boisterous as ever playing with the toys.
Jonah gets to sleep in Dad's old bunk bed. He is loving it, although he fell out last night. He walked down the hall slightly dazed and let Mom know "I fell out of bed." We came to be a couple of hours later and Jonah's new quote was "the light on the coffee is blinking." Neither my parents nor us have a coffee maker with blinking lights.

Merry Christmas from our little girl!


Our little girl just sent up Christmas greetings! We are so excited! We just found out her birthday is February 5, 2007. Can't wait to bring her home.

Second Day



Day two has dawned with a game of soccer and building a snowman from non-existent snow. Jonah is having a blast playing with his grandparents.

First Day


Today was Jonah's first day at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He had a great time playing with Grandma on the exercise equipment downstairs. Then we ventured forth to Great-Grandma's house. Jonah was really excited to see his Great-Grandma. She had a blast watching him play with toys. It was great to see Uncle Jim and Aunt Alexis also. I am hoping to steal pictures from Mom or Dad of Jonah with Great-Grandma. We got to go and see Santa in Nashville, Ohio at a pretty cool Christmas lights display. Jonah was able to pick out several inflatable Grinches.

We have some incredible news! This is a picture of our newest addition to our family, Elizabeth. We were just to we could adopt her today. The process will still take some time, but we are excited to know that she will eventually become part of our family! I will post more information as I know more.
