Daddy ran a 1/2 marathon in Florence, AL and finished in 1 hour and 34 minutes!!! He was running on jet lag- he just got back from Australia and hasn't had any sleep in days. We are so proud of him. We all got flu shots yesterday, except for Charlie. He got the flu mist and a few hours later was running a 102 fever and so, Jerri Lynn and I went to watch CJ finish the race! Charlie was feeling better this afternoon, so we went trick or treating tonight, because we have church on Sunday night. We went with the Rinna boys and Adelyn. It is was very fun! Charlie had a choice of 3 costumes- Mr. Incredible, Buzz Lightyear or Spiderman. He came downstairs in a homemade pirate suit! It was so funny- so, CJ painted his face like a pirate. Jerri Lynn was the best Minnie Mouse ever. She wore her shoes and ears ALL night long!!

Jerri Lynn's 1st Haircut!

Just got home from Aunt Kristin's and Uncle Josh's house in Columbus, GA. We had so much fun seeing their beautiful home and celebrating Reagan's gotcha day! Ryker, Reagan, Charlie and Jerri Lynn had fun playing together outside in their woods! We all got haircuts- even my baby girl. Jerri Lynn got her 1st haircut!!! She did great and just did whatever Aunt Kristin told her too!

Charlie and Jerri Lynn's 1st Auburn Game!

CJ surprised me and got tickets to Auburn vs. Lousiana-Monroe game! We had soooo much fun! Friday night we ate dinner at Momma Goldberg's and then walked around on campus- there was a band playing with fun activities for the kids- they got their face painted, got balloons and had so much fun! We were walking around and my sweet cousin Amanda saw us- it was so fun! The only rough part was the night in the hotel-Jerri Lynn woke up at 3 am and wouldn't go back to sleep- Charlie woke up at 4 and so everyone was awake and ready for some football!! We were so nervous about waking up the neighbors in the hotel. We had fun at the hotel they gave us Auburn shakers and toilet paper wrapped in tissue paper with Auburn sayings on it (to roll Toomer's Corner!) We went to Tiger Walk, got pictures with cheerleaders, watched the band, played on a bounce house and just had a great pre-game experience! The kids were very excited and we all loved the eagle flying before the game. Jerri Lynn says, "Auburn- eagle fly down!" She also says, "War Eagle-Aubie, Aubie , Aubie!" She fell asleep as soon as the game started and we decided to leave in the 3rd quarter. Auburn was winning big time! Charlie slept all the way home. Thank you , CJ for taking us there!

Birth Certificate!

We received Tae's paperwork on Sept. 3 and filled it all out and sent in our official acceptance on Sept. 8. It had to be sent to Korea and then they mailed his Birth Certificate and other legal paperwork to us. We were so excited when we received it and it was so amazing filling out the paperwork to where he will reside (our home address!) That was on Sept. 23. We filled out an I-600 form which is a petition to classify an orphan as our relative with CIS and we are waiting to be fingerprinted again. We have to wait for an official letter from USCIS. We mailed that form on Sept. 28 and are hoping it won't take too long. The countdown began on Sept. 15th (when Korea received our official acceptance!) we think! So, 8-12 months from then we should have our sweet boy!!
