Visit from the Wadells.......

Our dear friends moved recently, this past February to where we are planning and hoping in the future to relocate- the Austin, Texas area. Tiffany, and her three children Rachel, Gabrielle (known as our "Gabby"), and Jacob (known as "Jake") came back to Cali to visit family and friends, and made time for us and came to our new place for a summer barbeque of hot dogs, burgers, and the works.

We had a blast catching up them, hearing all about their new life in Texas, and seeing the kids getting so big. Tiffany has sent me some wonderful, supportive emails and texts, excited and optimistic about our adoption, which has shown me what kind of friends we have.
David and I were mesmorized by sweet Jake, as he was litterally a few days old the last time we saw him. He is now six months.
We then enjoyed ice cream at Leatherby's, a well know family creamery here.

Papa's Day, June 20th, 2010

We had a relaxing day. Since we still aren't parents, I tried to honor David as a future father. He got a massage, and a special breakfast brunch. We joined the ward choir recently, and were kindof surprised to hear we would be singing on Father's Day. We had a nice Sunday. Normally the primary kids do something fun and sing for the dads, but we loved the experience to beable to sing with this chior for the first time. We sang a special rendition of "A poor wayfarying man of Grief." I always feel a deeper appreciation for the Prophet Joseph Smith when I sing that song. At church, the men got chocolate chip cookies.

After church, we got some naps and then headed to see Papa Hobbs. David already went over with him earlier this week to spend some time and enjoy the world cup. David had made a mini wooden soccer field for him, and he loved it. We then headed for the evening of a stake dinner and relaxing with my parents, Grandmother, my brother Ben and his daughter Rachael, and my brother Daniel and his three sons. Daniel's wife, Rebecca was working.
