Welcome to…
I hope you all are having a great week! We are busy trying to finish up our adoption paperwork so that we can get our homestudy sent off to the State of IL. Crossing my fingers that by next week we will be done with this phase.
Each week of vlogging seems to get easier and easier! I am noticing that you all are getting better at it too! I am curious though…do you love the weekly vlogs or would you prefer to them every other week or even once a month? I know summer is a busy time so I just thought I would get your thoughts.
All I know is that by nature…I am more of a “glass is half empty” type of gal and these vlogs are definitely making me strive to be more of a “glass is half full”. For that, I am thankful!
Happy Wednesday everyone!!
So let’s hear it! What is making you SMILE this week?

Hey girl!
As much as I hate to say it, I think I’m going to have a really hard time filming vlogs every Wednesday this summer. I think that doing them every other week would still be super fun, though!
You look great and I’ve been praying for the whole adoption process {for YOU guys.} Hope that everything goes well! XO!
Lindsey says
Hey girlfriend!! Just wanted to say that is another awesome vlog & I truly pray for you, Jeff & the boys that the adoption process goes smoothly!! I hope that they realize how amazing you all are and expedite the process for you!! XOXO
Shannon says
I love the idea of doing it weekly! I’m sure summers will be harder for people but that’s the beauty of blogging, you don’t HAVE to do it but I think it’s nice to have it as an option for those who do want to!

Isn’t it nice when you have a smooth morning? I think it sets the tone for the day! And I’m praying for you about the adoption. Just think how awesome it’s going to be when everything is complete!

I’m so happy that things went so smoothly dropping the boys off at school this morning! I can only imagine what you feel on the harder days! But just know that you are an amazing mama! Like you said, you know they are in good hands and having fun! They just love you is all!
I really hope that everything goes well today and that the rest of the adoption process goes smoothly! I can’t wait to see the new baby in the end of it all!

That’s so awesome that the boys went straight into their classes this morning! I work with kids so I know things rarely go as smoothly as you like them to. I’ll be praying for your last meeting with the psychologist! I’m so excited that you guys are adopting and will be praying the process continues to go smoothly for you!
Nina says
YAY! Thinking of y’all as you go through this process 🙂 As far as the vlogging, just keep it how it is- the beauty of our blogs is that we can do what we want and what we have time for. Of course if it’s less stress on you, then do every other week 🙂

You look so cute! Yay that the boys were excited about going today! I am SO excited y’all have almost completed your home study!! Yaaaay! That is so so exciting!!
Amanda says
Hey beautiful! I’m so glad that your boys were so well behaved this morning and strolled right into school no problem. Heck yes! I’m also super excited for you and the hubs in nearly finishing this stage of your adoption process! Yay! 🙂
As far as the vlogs, I totally think the weekly link-up is lovely as it is 🙂 As Nina and others have said that’s the beauty in blogging! If you’re super busy you can take a week out if you need 🙂 I look so forward to these vlogs every week – even if I’m unable to participate it’s still so great to get to watch other peoples! 🙂 xoxoxo
Anna says
I’m so glad you had an easy time dropping your boys off today! I like the weekly vlog (even though I jumped on later starting last week!). Good luck with all of your adoption paperwork!
Jen says
This has been quite a process girlfriend! But just think how wonderful it is going to be when it is all said and done 🙂 Glad the boys were good for you…that is HUGE!!!! And I guess I;m with everyone else when I say that a weekly link-up is good. It does get hard some weeks (like this week for me. My vlog suckity sucks) but I like having something to look forward too. Although if you are getting tired my dear, especially with SO much on your plate, I would totally understand you wanting to cut it down a but. I mean, we all get the option to post, but you don’t!! So I would say you get to make this call 🙂
Cate says
Maybe Bentley’s 6:30 AM cannonball had something to do with his good mood today. Haha! I am not going to be able to do a lot of vlogs during the summer, but I still would love to see the link up every week.
Katie Lake says
I am SO excited for you! I just love that you are going through this process and putting yourself out there so you can provide love to another child! On another note, I am feeling slightly guilty tonight for not linking up. We have been so busy around here I haven’t gotten my stuff together to make my video. Wamp wamp. I’ll link up again next week though! Pinky promise!

I’m smiling since this very evening completely planting 9 giant tomato plants into my recently prepared soil…garden, part way planted. Costco had giant plants for a very good price. HE HEe HEe Heee
