One More Step!!

Our home study went well- we passed it. The only thing we have left to do is write our birthparent letter and then all the reports and paperwork should be finished and approved by Feb. 8th! So check back next month for the link to our profile on www.itsaboutlove.org
A quick update on our fam...we've been sick! Pinkeye, ear infections and the flu; we are ready to be healthy again. Hailey is in a toddler bed now and has been doing really well in it. She doesn't fall asleep in it for naps and we find her in some of the funniest places. She went walking on the treadmill at Jeff's office for the first time the other day and that girl can cruise! She was pretty mad when I made her get off. Well, hope the New Year is great for everyone so far!

Getting Close!

We've been working on our paperwork for adoption #2 and it takes us forever! We are getting really close though! Our homestudy is scheduled for the 15th so hopefully by Jeff's birthday we'll be completely approved and back in the waiting game for another little miracle to join our family. It still amazes me the strength, love, and courage of Hailey's birthfamily and all birthfamilies. I am SO thankful that we have found this road to journey on. We'll keep you posted and please keep us in the back of your minds. I'll have a link up to our profile soon. Thanks!

Merry Christmas!

 

I LOVE THIS FACE! She is so amazing and we love her so much. Life got 10x harder when she came along, but it also got 20x more funny, exciting, and joyful. I am amazed at the Lord's hand in our lives. We are SO THANKFUL for our Savior Jesus Christ for all he has given us so that we could live, and live together forever.

 

We hope you all have a beautiful christmas season.
Merry Christmas from the Davenports

National Adoption Month

Just wanted to recognize national adoption month once again because it's changed our lives! We're so grateful for all the birth mothers and adoptive families and caseworkers out there. We're so thankful for this little blessing:

We're also excited to say that we are putting our paperwork in for another little miracle, so keep us in mind when you think about adoption!

ONE

We can hardly believe our baby is 1! She is SO MUCH FUN!!! She is starting to be little miss independent. She is the biggest blessing we've ever been given. We got to spend her actual birthday in Las Vegas with my brother's family and then had another birthday party with all of our family here when we got back. Lucky one year old got 2 cakes! Speaking of cakes; I am not a cake decorator. Her care bear cake was actually scary and it was an adventure to get one made! I thought Hailey might start crying when she saw the face on the care bear, but she just stared at it in a stupor of thought. We had such a great time celebrating her first year.
