We have been chosen for real this time!

We have been chosen by the most amazing birth mom named Kristen. She is so cute and so fun and so perfect for us and we love her so much already. We have really enjoyed getting to know her and her family. We are so excited that we get to "keep" them. :) We were really hoping that she would chose us and that we could have her be the birth mom of our baby. We couldn't ask for better people to welcome into our family.

She is having a baby girl. The due date is June 20th. We are so excited. We are planning on naming her Piper Joon. It is hard to believe that this is really going to happen for us. It is an answer to our prayers (a lot of prayers for a lot of years). We know that Heavenly Father will send the right baby at the right time. And this one feels so different than all of the others. It feels so right. And all of the waiting was worth it to be able to have Kristen and her family be in our life. :)

It was all a fraud

It turns out that our adoption story was all a fraud. She wasn't really pregnant. She was so good at lying. We still care for her, we just hope that she can get some help, and that she will never do this to anyone else ever again. We still aren't sure what she was hoping to get out of all of this. But we definitely have learned to be more careful. We are grateful that the "birthfather" tipped us off that he didn't believe her. It led us to find the proof we needed to pull out of this situation. We really, really, really are looking forward to when we will actually bring a baby into our home. We know it will be in the right time, with the right baby. We trust in Heavenly Father's plan for us.

We have been chosen!

We have been chosen for adoption by some pretty stinkin' amazing people! We love them so much!!! They are having a little boy that is due on June 10th. We can't wait! This is the most exciting thing ever for us. :)




Here is a picture of us with them. Yep that's right, cute Chandy is from India. How cool is that?!!! He is going to be so cute! By the way, this is Jonny and Chandy. Like I said, they are pretty amazing!

Waiting for you!

Gavin and I waiting for our baby someday. We wish it was already here with us!

Kauai 2012

Gavin and I went to Kauai with his family and it ended up that my sister Annie and her husband Robbie went to the same island at the same time. Crazy! We only overlapped for 3 days, but we did get together long enough to get a picture. We love you guys!

Basket

Yay for making an old basket new for our future baby's room. We like a more modern style, so it was fun to make a normal basket feel more modern. I'll have more pictures to come as we slowly do our nursery.

The final prom dress is finished!

This is Anna in her dress. It reminds me of a southern dress, maybe something that would be on Gone with the Wind or something like that. It looks great on her. I just wish you could see these all in person. Pictures are great, but they look so much better in person. I'm grateful for the opportunity I've had to design and sew for these 3 cute girls this year.
