I hope you were able to take a few minutes and explore Until Journey's End. With the first care package going out this week, I'm excited to see how this takes off. I know there are thousands of families in need of love and support, the next step is finding them and supplying them with needed items. If you would like to support others, as you have our family, please contact us! Every little bit helps! Also, please send the link to anyone and everyone you think may be interested in helping out! Even if you're not, maybe someone you know, is!

It's been a busy week, here. Hannah continues to go potty on her toilet without reminders--it's fantastic! She gets one M&M every time she poops on the toilet. She even gets to choose the M&M--big stuff here, folks.

Isaac is awake for longer periods of time and interacts with us more and more. Hannah continues to get most of his attention, which she loves. He gave her the first ear to ear grin a few days ago. He'll give little half smiles to Jason and I, but he reserves the big stuff for her! I love it.

My best friend, Amy, who lives in Colorado, was in MI for the holidays to visit family. Every time she comes to Holland (her in-laws house), she calls me and we get together. On Wednesday, I packed up the kiddos and we headed out. Amy and I had a great time hanging out. We made Macaroni and Cheese for the kids and ordered Chinese takeout for the two of us. Nothin' better! I miss Amy very much and always look forward to seeing her and her family. It was a fun afternoon!

Jason headed back to work on Thursday and Friday while I worked on laundry and ventured out to Isaac's doctor appointment (retinal specialist). We were at the doctor's office for an hour and a half and the visit with the doctor was less than 3 minutes. Hannah missed her nap, Isaac was starving...I was very frustrated. Anyway, Isaac's eyes are looking good. Another eye appointment in a month or so.

Yesterday, our Ohio Grandma and Grandpa stopped over (the couple who helped take care of Hannah while we were in Cleveland). Yep, their daughters live in Grand Rapids! They spent most of the morning with us; talking, laughing, drinking coffee. It was so nice to see them. Hannah thought Jason and I were leaving since they were coming over. Not this time! We had a very nice visit and hope to see them again when we return to Ohio for Isaac's adoption finalization.

So, I'm working on getting the house back in order, a routine in place and chores caught up, while Jason returns to work to catch up on his end. The kids are transitioning very well to our family of four, all at home together. I'm looking forward to the next few months as we travel down this new road. I'm going to add "blogging" to my list of things to do and see if we can get this rolling again on a consistent basis.

Enjoy your Sunday afternoon!
