Dime Box with the Edwards

In September, we took our best friends to Dime Box. 
We had the BEST time!
It was a rainy weekend, but that didn't stop everyone from being outside having a blast.
The kids rode jeeps and played in the rain puddles, mud and even drove in the muddy pond. 
Everyone had fun shooting and just spending time together. 
We went to collect eggs from the neighbors house and ran into the "Great Almost Horse-Escape". 
Our weekend was eventful, that's for sure!

August

Somehow, August totally slipped by. 
I have taken pictures of so many things but have failed to put them on our blog. 
I think I like this monthly update idea. I certainly don't have the time to blog often like I used to. 

August went by so quickly.
Hannah finished up swim lessons.
I had an MRI done on my hand--which followed with Dr. appointments because I do have a torn ligament that acts up from time to time and I found out that I have some arthritis in my right hand--hereditary. I wear a brace from time to time because it hurts!!
We also headed to see my parents in CA for about 11 days. While we were there, we traveled to see some of our old friends from years ago and had a blast! We also went to visit my grandparents in Penn Valley and then our annual family reunion in San Jose. 
We came back and had a couple days before we left for DimeBox to spend some great relaxing time with friends. 
That about sums up August. Of course we had several play dates with our friends and began our adoption process officially. (More on that later)

Adoption Journey

As many of you know Daniel, Hannah and I have been praying about adoption for quite some time now. If you remember back to this post, "Perspective", that is when the Lord truly broke my heart and lit my fire and passion for adoption. 
So, together Daniel and I began praying often and focused on living our life for God's will. How amazing it feels to not have expectations for the future, but be open to the endless possibilities that the Lord can lead us to. 
And so our adoption journey began on July 26, 2013.
