Is it March already??!

Well, we have been without wireless for almost a week - GASP! But we had a great ET food cooking get together at our home last weekend with several adoptive families from the Tulsa and OKC area. We had great notes from the last time Mimi for Queen of Sheba came up to teach us how to make the food, so Becca and everyone's hard work paid off and it was GOOOOODDDD! We had a blast and though the pics taken weren't the best (my bad!) - it was very memorable and so exciting to see the adoptive community growing!

Jack has also finished his first round of puppy training and did amazing, labradoodles are the best dogs EVAH! We got him groomed last week and thought we'd share some of those pics.

Sakari is doing amazing and a source of constant joy and laughter! She's getting so big and already wearing 3T clothes primarily - Daddy might just have a basketball player! She also just finished her Diaper Dolphins class today and is a pro at going underwater and loves her some water! She loves, loves music and knows exactly what she wants to listen to and loves to climb up and play the piano and make up songs...and let me tell ya, she's good! We cannot believe that in just a few weeks she will be turning 2, we are looking forward to Terrific Twos, not Terrible...we choose to enjoy each moment and she makes it so easy!

Some other fun news is that my (Caleb) sister is almost 8 weeks pregnant so it will be baby number 2 on our side of the family...we're all sooo excited!

We are busy with life in general and learning to place boundaries to make sure we don't burn out. What, with helping run a growing Christian school (www.faithcentralonline.com), planning our main event of the year with Big World Ventures, Brio Missions to Guatemala, www.briomissions.com with almost 500 people signed up to go, owning and running Mission Threads and Becca growing her photography business (www.treasuredcaptures.com) and making sure that family stays a priority...it's a huge task, but it's been amazing to have a sweet girl like Sakari to remind us what's important...family is more important than anything else. The end.

Oh...it's not really the end, just a teaser...I'm getting a tattoo next week.
