Friday's Fave Five

My favorites from this week:

1. Adoption Almost Final: We went to the adoption lawyers office and signed all of the final paperwork. We should stand before the judge by the end of the month if the final home study report is submitted soon.

2. Friends: Both of the older children had friends over for extended play time this week. What a treat to help break the monotony of the summer we are beginning to feel.

3. Hot Temps, Cool Water:



4. Books: Nothing like a package arriving at your front door with brand new books. One for each member of the family eagerly grabbing theirs out to begin reading.

5. Niece: I just learned last night that I am going to be an Aunt to my first niece. I have 3 nephews. My daughter is beyond excited that there will now be another girl to join her!

Overall, a pretty good week. What about you?

  4. That's so neat about your adoption!

    My kids love having friends over and visiting them during the summer. It does provide a welcome break.

    That pool looks inviting!

    And there's nothing like the thrill of new books!!
