Week 5

Ready for another car ride!

So AWAKE!

Sleeping in her favorite position....I call it the "Touchdown!" "Praise Jesus!" pose

Staring at each other...the best past time ever!

Sleeping on daddy

Adelle has been more and more awake. Sometimes, she is awake for two and a half hours at a time now. She likes to look around (to the extent babies can) and see all the new places we go to. She likes to lay on the floor and have us talk to her, and is a very calm baby overall. She REALLY likes to be held. She does not like to be messed with in any way: diapering, changing, baths.... It's all about "status quo."   :)

Adelle's birthfather signed the paperwork he needed to for the court on Friday. Praise Jesus! We are so excited for her court date tomorrow. We will go to Adelle's adoption agency and sign for her the morning of November 12. Then, we will be with Adelle 24/7.

On Saturday, we moved to a new place. It is the house of the care pastor for the church that we have been attending here, C3. They  have a private apartment in their basement complete with a fridge, microwave, and full bath. There is a meal ministry at C3, and they brought us some meals. So far, we ate the Mexican Shephard's Pie. Amazing!  

We got to go out to eat with Adelle's foster family yesterday for lunch, which was fun. Their girls have a favorite place they like to go for their "gotcha days" (days when their adoptions were finalized), so we went there. It is called Bob Evan's. Very similar to a Perkins.

Last night, Adam and I played Phase 10 together, and we went on a walk in the afternoon. The weather here has been beautiful. It has been a blessing to see the sun, and get to be outside more than we might otherwise get to be this time of year. On Saturday, we went grocery shopping and to Kohl's. It is so weird to be new parents and have this much energy, but we are sure next week will be different!
