Yesterday

So yesterday we went to the Aquarium because we are using this curriculum this year and love it. We told the kids when we finished it we'd go to the aquarium. We had an amazing time. Everyone had their own favorites, it wasn't crowded, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much all the kids remembered from what we've learned. Joshua kept saying, "Hey mom, we've seen that in that science book!"

Some of my favorite pictures from the aquarium...

Around lunchtime I thought... well, I didn't hear from our agency I guess it didn't come today. Then when we got home guess what was in my inbox... to say that I was excited would be an understatement. I think I deafened a few of my kids. 

Our agency had already sent us everything we'd need to move to the next step so I just printed it out, finished up the paperwork and mailed it on to the next thing today!

The LOA is dated November 23rd so while I was pouting patiently waiting while another family got theirs for Thanksgiving God knew it was in the mail. I'm sure glad He is so patient with me!

We are so excited to be bringing little Micah home SOON!

And here are some more fun pictures of camping over the weekend. We will definitely be going back to Tallulah Gorge campground.

 We went to Goats on the Roof in Clayton, GA.

While we were camping Isaac wanted to sleep in his tent outside. Since he didn't have a willing parent to sleep with him. I did what any parent would do thinking about a 7 year old sleeping in a tent in 30 degree weather. I showed him pictures online of frost bite! Yes, I did. And it worked!!

But I also promised that he and Joshua could sleep in the tent in their room when we got home. 

 And of course the girls wanted to spend the night together....
