Easter Time

Last week was Easter and it made us stop to ponder about many things in our lives. Last year at this time we were living in NY, expecting a baby, and Doug was just "talking" about moving to California. We had our NY family over for dinner and life was good. At that point I was in a very happy place and thanking the lord for all of our many blessings.

Forward to now and we are still thanking the Lord for everything that we have been blessed with. Doug got into a great school and we were able to have Easter dinner with friends and Doug's amazing family. As many people know, we had to terminate our pregnancy because the baby was growing in my tubes and was unable to grow. We are now in the process of adopting and just got approved on our home visit, this is a happy day. We are now just waiting for our background check to go through and we will be officially approved. We can't wait to have a little one bless us ever more.

In preparing for Easter this year, we had little David over to color Easter Eggs


Then went to Heather's place to make Easter Candy. These are the chocolate and coconut nest that we made for decoration.


Still good to know that Easter in 2009 for the Halls is still all good.

Those treats look dangerous! I am so happy about your final preps for adoption. You are in our prayers.

I am so sorry to hear that you lost your baby. It's a hard trial to bear. We're hoping you get the chance to finally have a baby of your own this year!
