An update--Finally!!

So I realize it's been what, 5 months since we updated this thing?? It hasn't been from lack of effort, trust me! So here's what has been going on with us. First of all, we have started going through the adoption process through LDS Family Services. It has been quite a learning experience for us already to say the least but we are so excited to know that eventually we will have another member of our family. Our new caseworker is awesome. We had our individual interviews with her a couple weeks ago and will have our home inspection this Thursday. We're nervous but very excited. We know we still have a long ways to go with this process but I know it will be worth it in the end.

In other news, I(Ryan) left myfamily.com in July. I now work at a company called Xactware doing tech support. Julie and I are both happy about the change. I love my new job and the change of atmosphere was much needed. Julie has started working again as well. She is working as a server at the Olive Garden. Despite sore feet, she really likes her job and I love the discount on the great food! :)

Morgan is still our happy little girl and is keeping us on our toes. She has started a horse therapy program once a week to work her back muscles and she absolutely loves it! She get so excited the second we pull into the driveway to the ranch. She kicks the back of the seat saying "horsey! horsey!" Mentally she is really picking things up. She can count to 20 and is learning her colors right now. She will go in for surgery number 8 on November 2ND. She is having her ear tubes replaces and having all the sores taken off her face and eyes. It shouldn't be a major surgery but she will look like 10 miles of bad road for awhile after the procedure. She has a JoJo costume for Halloween this year so we'll be sure to post some pics of her costume in a couple weeks.


Well, that is pretty much 5 months in a nutshell. We will do our best to keep this up to date more often! Plan on some more after Haloween and surgery.
