Happy Easter



Hello Everyone! Well, April 7th marked one month down of our long waiting period to get a referral about our little Miss Emma. We are expecting about nine more months of waiting, but of course, we remain hopeful that the wait times will shorten, and that long awaited referral will come sooner than expected! Until then, we are trying to keep busy and occupy our time, and so far, April has proven to be another busy month.
We started this month of by moving Gran back into her refurbished apartment. For those who may not know the story, while we were on our Wild Woman's Weekend to Austin, TX, a pipe broke in Gran's apartment, causing the Great Flood of 2006. Basically, the water was running out of both doors and of course, made quite a disaster of her apartment. Since then, she has been living in another apartment in her complex, and finally, the time came to move her back home. I know she was so happy to be back in her space and we were happy to help get her there.
We were fortunate to have some of our family here with us for Easter Sunday. Grandma Cindy and Auntie B (that would be Becky Jo), as well as Aunt Teri, were all here for the weekend. Gran and Aunt Judy were also here and we all went to church together Sunday morning. The service was really nice and we had a good time together. Of course, our thoughts were with our little girl, and she did receive an Easter basket from Grandma and Grandad and a ladybug book from Aunt Teri. Our house is slowing filling up with all the things a little girl might need. She is so loved already, and we haven't even met her yet!
Up next is a shower for Sarah and Casey. Michael Alan Wise is schedule to make his appearance around June 1st. We are definately looking forward to his arrival!
That's it for now - don't forget the photo page!

Emma's Quilt


We spent the weekend working on Emma's quilt. I think Rusty is in shock that I am actually using the sewing machine. I told him I would use it, but I think he had his doubts. Anyway, the quilt came together pretty easy. It is turning out to be really cute, and we are excited to finish it up. We are planning on taking it home this weekend for Gran to quilt the "E" in the center. Once she's done, then we should be able to finish the edges.

This weekend we'll be heading to Ulysses. Gran's apartment has finally been refurbished after the "Big Flood" of 2006. I know she is ready to be moved back in, and we are excited for her to be "home again"!!

That's all for now! Be sure to check out more pictures on the photos page.
