The Bird Has Landed

My first turkey . . . . I gasped as I pulled out the neck and felt guilty as I placed the onion, apples, and butter in the unnamed cavity. Here's hoping it turns out edible!

Vancouver!

So with all the baby news and such, I forgot to post some pics from our time in Vancouver. Please forgive.

Here we are in front of the fountain at the Vancouver Art Museum.

The museum

Here's the view from our room. So sunny. :-)

Looking out over the bay, and the convention center!

Breaking News: Baby Youree Watch 2010

(drum roll, please)

We have just finished the application process for domestic infant adoption!!!!!!!!!

Just this Monday we wrapped our home study. Now, the good folks at the adoption agency are shifting through our data, bios, and skeletons! We should know really soon if we will be accepted. Once that happens, we will wait to be matched with a birthparent. This could be soon, or it could be a year away.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers! We are only at the beginning and it's already been so emotional, but wonderful too.

Stayed tune for more updates!

The Seaside Drive

On our way back to Vancouver, we drove along the Pacific coast for a few miles. These picture DO NOT capture the beauty of what we saw. The crispness of the air, the vastness of the water, and the elegance of the mountain is lost in our snapshots. Sigh. But hey, we did the best we could! So enjoy our little bit of heaven on earth!

Seattle Pics, Take 3

All right, here's the last installation of Seattle pics. I know it's been riveting for you. (Teehee.)

These are from the Space Needle during the day (duh).

And these are from the Experience Music Project, dedicated to Mr. Hendrix, that guitar-playing fool. The structure was amazing, and the interactive exhibits interesting.

Oh, and the Space Needle at night. Isn't my hubby handsome?

Seattle Pics, Take 2

Here's round two of the Seattle pics. You'll notice the flowers from the Public Market and the famous fish stand. And check out the "first" Starbucks pic. At the bottom are our favorite shots from the aquarium. Enjoy!
