Jack says Happy Mothers' Day to all the wonderful moms out there! These pictures were from last night, when Grandpa Nold treated us to a Mothers' Day dinner at the country club. Jack behaved beautifully, even though we wound up keeping him out past his usual bedtime.
I like the way it looks when the sun shines on his hair.
We spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa Nold's house after dinner, and I took these pictures this morning. Jack's getting much better at moving around on his horse, and he's almost able to get on and off by himself. Not very gracefully, but that's okay.
Not sure what he's thinking here as he eyes Aunt Lisa's dog, Coco.
Andy and I were involved in a really cool experience yesterday. We were looking at some houses--just browsing; we're not planning on moving anytime in the near future. We know our real estate agent, Jeff, fairly well, since he lives in our neighborhood and sold our condo last year. While we were looking at a house, Jeff got a phone call. He and his partner have been in the process of trying to adopt a child for 2 1/2 years, and this phone call was THE call--that they had been selected by the birth parents to get the baby! It was obviously a really emotional experience, with hugs all around. Jeff was very happy he had people there to share the news with, rather than if he had gotten the call when he was alone. His life is about to be turned upside down, since the baby is due at the beginning of June!
That made me think of our friends, the Wagners, in North Carolina, who are also in the process of adopting a child right now. We wish them the best, and can't wait for the day when they get that phone call too!
