Christmas decorations are down and the house is slowing getting back in order. It's official, 2010 is over and a new year has begun. We are back into the swing of things tomorrow.
Clark will be taking down the lights outdoors today and I will soon be able to vacuum without having to worry about tripping a breaker.
We celebrated two Christmases at our home. One with my family on Christmas and another over the New Year with Brian's family.
Although I sold most of our furniture on Craigslist right before Christmas, we were able to buy new furniture and have a place to sit over the holidays. The boys loved the empty space and our temporary furniture was a blown up mattress and bean bags which became a playground.
We did receive a call from our adoption agency over the holidays for another little girl born in December. Unfortunately, she would not have been a good fit for our family. I know people are always shocked when we pass up a potential adoptive placement but as parents of two boys they are our priority and if a situation is not a good fit for our family, we must move on.
Hope you all are blessed in 2011!

We totally understand. Our 3-year-old is having serious adjustment issues when 2 kids moved out suddenly. We have closed our home except for adoptive placements. Our current children must be our priority.
Kids first, our wants and needs second. Good luck Penelope, hope your placement opportunity arrives soon.
