Still working on a name

Yes, we are still talking about what to name our daughter. I would say we've narrowed the selection down to about 5 names, so that's progress! I made an announcement in church on Sunday to let everyone know we were adopting a baby girl. I am grateful that there are so many people who are excited for us. There are going to be a lot of people waiting to meet our daughter when she comes home. :) Anyways, after the service a Korean woman came up to me. She and her husband live in Chicago, but spend their weekends here during the summer. They travel to Seoul every other year to visit her family and she said if I needed help with anything to just ask. We're making connections without even trying, God works in every situation!

In other news, we switched Isaac's crib to a toddler bed. The first day went great. The second day I spent 1 1/2 hours putting him back in his bed during naptime. He thinks it's great that he can look out the window, bring toys in his bed, etc.:) When we switched Caleb to a bed, he never pushed the limits. To this day, he doesn't like getting out of bed in the morning until we come in the room.:) I knew Isaac would be a bit more challenging in this area, but eventually he'll learn to stay in bed, right? :)

This past weekend we had our annual college friends get-together. It's been 8 years running now. In the beginning we would rent a cottage or camp. Now that the majority of us have multiple small children, we've scaled back a little. On Friday night we had an adults-only dinner in Holland. It's always nice to have uninterrupted conversation and not have to cut anyone's food! On Saturday afternoon we all met at the beach. It is fun to see everyone's kids again. There was plenty of sand eaten and lots of sandy diapers to change, but a good time overall! I'll post some pictures soon!
