Busy weekend..

First of all I want to start this post by saying Happy Birthday to two of my favorite people...

Happy Birthday to my BFF Court! Love and miss you so much.

and..

Happy Birthday AWood! Hope you get your win tonight!!

I can't believe that Landon is already 3.5 months old. It's crazy. Our next court date is May 19th. Then we have one June 10th. Then hopefully soon after the adoption will be finalized! Keep your fingers crossed :o)

This week has been full of checking off things on my "to-do" lists, most of which have to do with Megan's Bridal Shower.

Hopefully tomorrow will go fast and we can come home and pack up the car. Then we are off to Francesville until sometime Saturday afternoon/evening. Grandma Henderson and Aunt Greta are coming from Ohio! They are going to come down here after the shower to see our houses. They are going to make their way to Meg's house then come over to ours and then we are all going to go to dinner somewhere. It should be a fun day!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

*I'm secretly hoping we get the rain we are supposed to get so Blaine can go with me this weekend!

More later..

It's been a few weeks since my last post. I thought since we brought Landon home I would be blogging more, but I've been really busy lately. It also makes it hard for me to blog because I want to post pictures so badly. Only a couple more months....Then we can show off our precious little boy to the world.

Friday, the case worker from LC came to visit Landon at the babysitters. She has to make monthly visits to see him. They usually only last 15-30 minutes. No biggie. (if you would have asked me about those visits a month ago, it would have been a huge deal to me...not so much now)

I'm starting to let the little things go in my life and start concentrating on the important things. It makes me a much happier person.

As I sit here and write this post, I keep looking over to LJ. He's sleeping peacefully in his bouncy chair. Not a care in the world. I can't believe how big he's getting. My little boy isn't little anymore. He just had his 3 month birthday on the same day as Aunt Megan's birthday. So we took some special pictures of the two of them.

Anyway, we hope everyone had a great Easter. It's so exciting to share all those 1st moments as a family. LJ is getting really close to rolling over. I don't know if I'm really ready for the to happen yet. We'll see.

Have a great week!

Blessed...

Landon is doing really well. He sleeps thru the night for the most part. Usually every 5th night he wakes up in the middle of the night. Other than that, he has been sleeping 7-9 hrs every night. My friend, Brenda, let us borrow her swaddler that she used for her daughter. Ever since then he's been sleeping really well. We were actually going out to buy our own and she called and said not to because she had just got one for us. We feel very blessed to have such great friends.

My great coworkers and bosses threw me a baby shower at work last week. I feel very blessed to work with such supportive people. This weekend is my other baby shower. I'm really excited because several people will get to meet Landon for the first time. It's always exciting to see what people say when they see him for the first time.

I'm sure I'll post pictures sometime next week while I'm on Spring Break.

Hope you are all having a good week. 2 more days then I get to spend the whole week with my little boy!!! Sooooo excited!

We're getting closer...

Well, the past few weeks have been amazing. I never thought I'd ever get the chance to experience motherhood. And now that I have, it's amazing! I love Landon more than I ever thought I could. He makes everything better. His little smile and his coos brighten my day. I can't wait to be able to post pictures so you all can see our adorable son.

The case worker came yesterday to check on everything and talk about what the next steps are. We've done everything that we need to do, we are just waiting on the big shots to do all the paperwork. She says, "it should only take a couple more weeks...maybe up to a month" We'll see how accurate she is this time, considering she said everything would be finalized by the beginning of March. We'll see.

All I know, is that we are enjoying every minute of being Landon Joseph Yaggie's parents!

We love him more than anything and he definitely makes our family complete!

It's all happening!!!!

Just wanted to post a quick note saying that I'm waiting on the Case Worker to get here to do a quick home study!

As soon as Blaine is off work and home we are heading north to bring our new son home!!!!

Happy Birthday Grandma

Just finished having a great dinner with Grandma and Grandpa. Getting ready to head to Dads game at WC. Hopefully it doesn't snow like it says it will. :o)

We haven't heard anything back from the case worker yet. I will update when I do. Keep praying!

More later...

It's been awhile...

Lots has been going on in our lives over the last few months, but I'm not going to really go into everything on here because most of you that read my blog have heard about everything.

Anyway, we have been keeping busy with lots of things. Blaine's been getting our wood pile stocked up for next winter as well as keeping busy at work and the fire station. I've been busy with work and helping Meg plan her wedding. I'm really excited for her and I know she's going to make a beautiful bride!!

We recently got an email from our Case Worker. She told us that there was an infant boy available for adoption in a county up north. She wanted to know if we wanted her to send our home study up to that DCS office. After Blaine and I talked, we obviously said "yes"!! So we will see what happens. We don't want to get our hopes up because there are probably thousands of people that are wanting to adopt. So I guess we will just continue to pray about it and if it's meant to be, it will be. So we'd also appreciate it if you could keep us in your prayers as well! We have no idea what will happen. Possibly nothing.

But at least it's one step in the right direction...
