Today we had three soccer games and finally finished our season. We had our soccer party for Mia's team afterwards and the kids had a great time. Rick was the coach for Mia's team and he really had a great time. We met a lot of new families and hope we get to play with them again next spring. Nadia's team lost their first game in over three seasons. It would have been a bigger deal to everyone but just before the game we learned that a child from our school tragically lost his life in a car wreck coming home from our school's last football game the night before. It made the game seem pretty "un"important and quickly reminds us how quickly life can change. Our hearts are aching with their family tonight and hope you can keep them in your prayers.

Tonight we had a Fort Smith adoption group dinner and we had a great time. We did it "pot luck" style and the kids all run around and play with each other while the parents all swap adoption stories. Many of the families are in the waiting phase and it is fun for us to see all of the adopted children and how well adjusted and happy they all seem. One family has four children they have adopted and they are the neatest family....very inspiring to us. It is really nice to have a local group you can talk with that has been through or going through the same emotions and experiences.

Well, there isn't a lot to update on today so I will add a few more pictures. I will send some pictures of Jake's ma and pa tonight. They are awesome grandparents and have so many things they teach to all their grandchildren. Our kids love them and feel so loved by them. Jake is going to be one lucky little guy to have ma and pa as grandparents....just ask Nadia, Mia and Luke! Natalie
