Resurrection of the Blog

I have realized that I do not document the day to day happenings in our family at all. I want to scrapbook, but never seem to have the desire. The other day I was showing this blog to Owen. He thought it was so much fun to read what I wrote about him and see pictures of what he was doing back then. So, in an effort to provide a scrapbook for our children, I am resurrecting our blog. I am thinking of changing the name, though. Throw Refrigerator was the original name. I chose it because Owen was really mad at me one day (I think he was 2 years old) and he told me that he was going to throw the refrigerator. I busted up. It became an inside joke in our house. But, it doesn't make sense, so I will come up with something new.

Our focus lately has been getting our house and hearts ready for a new addition to our family. We have been in process to adopt a 9 year old girl from Ethiopia since last August. The process is finally coming to a close and we will travel to Ethiopia for the first time in June to meet her. We will then travel back to Ethiopia about 8 weeks later to finish the adoption and bring her home with us.

For years we have wanted a tent trailer, and this spring we finally caved and bought one. We already tried it out a couple of weeks ago in Boardman. The kids had a blast playing with their buddies. We had some issues getting the refrigerator started, but with MY engineering brain, the electricity finally started working and we had a working refrigerator.
