This has been a busy holiday weekend. Brian and I went out on Thursday for our 6 year anniversary (which was on Sunday!) We went out to eat and then saw Get Smart with Steve Carrell. It was sooo funny! We had a great laugh! I love my husband and have had a wonderful 6 years with him!
Friday - July 4th - our neighborhood has a big celebration. They had a neighborhood band playing patriot songs and a parade with the boy/girl scouts, the fire truck and police cars, old timey cars, and lots of kids on decorated bikes, trikes, and strollers. They also had free hot dogs and chips/water and we said the pledge and sang the national anthem. Very Americana and we were so glad we went!
Satruday was the Burk family reunion in Centerville. It was fun seeing all of the family and Lilly had a blast playing and being outside most of the day. She looked very patriotic in her American flag outfit.
Monday was our home study for the adoption. It went really well - thanks for all your prayers and thoughts of us - I know we felt them. Jan, our social worker, was there from around 9:30-2. She saw Lilly with us for a little while, then Lilly went to Aunt Katy's to play. We talked alot about our marriage, communication, discipline styles, infertility and what to expect out of the adoption. We fed her lunch and dessert and then she took the tour around our house and was able to see where the new baby's nursery will be. We are so glad this part is over and now all that is left is praying and waiting for the right mom and baby to come along and pick our family. Please continue to pray for the mom and for her heart to be opened to us.
Lilly's first fingerpainting - what a masterpiece!

Mere, that is a brilliant idea to use a cookie sheet when Lilly fingerpaints to keep it contained!
I'm glad you had a good 4th and home visit. I'm sure it feels so good to have that behind you!
Love, Emily
Hi Meredith!
Thanks for the comment - it's nice to meet you! I love meeting all these other women who are on this adoption journey together - what a blessing to do this together!
Shana told me a little about you while we met for coffee last week (I think it's when we were talking about different agencies). I look forward to reading more about your journey!
Blessings,
Erica
Get Smart looks okay overall... but Steve Carell seems to be veering more and more toward a predictable, slapstick-style humor
I'm so glad your homestudy went well, how exciting. That is a great accomplishment to have finished. Now we get to WAIT together, ya the fun part... Looking forward to hanging out with yall tomarrow.
