Shopping For Mommy's Birthday.....Avery and I took Melissa out shopping for her birthday this past weekend. It seems like Avery always comes out of the mall with more than anyone of us. Melissa didn't find a bathing suit but Avery found a few things! The picture above shows her with my debit card which she should probably keep since she's the one who benefits most from it these days! It was a very long day for all of us but Avery was once again the lucky one and had a place to sleep while we continued to wear ourselves out shopping for the rest of the day. Here she is with her new friend Big Bird!
Happy 27th Birthday to Melissa! GOD, I'm feeling old!!

We are all eagerly awaiting referral news soon!!!!

Happy May!

I think that May is going to bring exiting changes for our family. I'm obviously hoping for a referral for Dan and Tiff any day now, which will change our lives forever. I'm anxious to get that call from them and hope that I can keep it together when they call because I've also accepted a new job and don't want to make a fool of myself if I'm at work when the call comes. I'm going back to work for the company that I used to work for before I left Maine. The job will be somewhat similiar and the pay is much better. It's not really about the pay though....I guess the decision was made mostly because it's time for me to be challenged again. I've kind of been coasting along for quite some time now in my current job and although I love the place and the people that I work with, I felt like I was wasting my knowledge and an opportunity to continue my career and not just have a job that got me by. I'm pretty excited to get back into the swing of things. My first day is on May 12th. I'm sad to be leaving the people that I work with but I am looking forward to the challenges of a new job.


Since I had some vacation time left over, I'm taking advantage of being able to spend some time with one of the greatest loves of my life......Avery Grace. I never get tired of her and wish that I could spend every day with her. She is such a joy to be around.
