Great Weekend

Things are going great, just busy!  We had a great weekend with the kiddos!!!  Allie had a softball tournament this past weekend in Knoxville!  So we went up on Friday and the team went to a Lady Vols softball game!  They had a great time!  There's a player on the team from Columbia and she has actually worked with some of the girls in the team, so the loved getting to see her play!  Then the tournament started on Saturday morning!  The girls played well, they ended up playing 6 games on Saturday which meant we were at the ball park all day long!  Our little princess was excellent!!! We could not have ask for her to be any better!  She hung out, played in the dirt, ran up and down a hill and loved everyone!  We have a great softball family that loves her too, so they were great to help out with her!  She kept us entertained all day!!!!  And she actually did pretty good in the car too!!!!

She is still sleeping great!  She layes down in her bed for nap and bed time!  We have been so blessed with this little angel!!  We have been a bit worried about her eating.  She is a carb girl, only wanting to eat noodles, rice, fries, chips and junk!  Yesterday was better.  Finally she ate a good lunch and loved some grapes!!!!  I think part of it was that we didn't tell her no about any food, so if we were eating it and she wanted some then we let her have it.  So yesterday with it just being us home it was much easier to keep the junk away!!!!  So I guess we will keep working on this but I have no complaints!  This baby girl is perfect and precious!  She melts everyone she meets!!!  She is so friendly and happy!  She is always smiling!!!!

Tony and I went to meet with a sitter yesterday!!!!  It's actually someone we already know, but we are still going through the process of interviewing.  We feel really good about it.  The lady that kept Conner and Allie doesn't have an opening so we had to look elsewhere!!!  I know that God has a perfect plan for us all!  But please pray that things work out and that Emery will be happy where ever she ends up staying!

We have our first post adoption visit this morning!  I can't wait for Lisa to meet her!  I think we have to do 6 post visits over the next few years!!!  I will post how things go later!

Well I think that catches everyone up on our journey for now! 

Love,
Renee
