So today's post is not about adoption in fact it is all about me only. I enjoy my job and for the most part the people I work with however I have had the hardest time going to work in the last 21 months. Why you ask well it is because of Wyatt, how can this little boy make it hard to go to work? Well I will tell you when he wakes up it starts saying "dad", "daddy", over and over it has become his morning chant. So it starts with my heart being drawn in by a little boy who loves his dad, then when they drop me off at work he tells me "I U" (this is Wyatt talk for I LOVE YOU) and this makes me just want to stay in the car and go home to play with this little man all day. This is all good however then I get in to work and deal with a bunch of 21 month old adults that at times can't even seem to be able to do anything on their own. I find that the 9 hours I am away from Wyatt and Miriam is the longest 9 hours of my life. Then it happens it is time to get picked up I get in the car and Wyatt goes on a long string of Wyatt speak and tells me all about the day he had with the best mom ever. This then puts me back in asking myself why I ever went in to work in the first place when I have such a great family at home?
So even though Wyatt does not know this I am so honored to be his dad and I am so blessed to have the best mother for my child a man could ask for or want.
To both of you, I U (I LOVE YOU)!!!!

The long wait for more posts
Today I am posting for the first time in a long time.... I have had a little break from the blogging but I again find that I need to get the word out about our family and what has been going on.
We again find ourselves wanting to adopt again, so on Saturday we went to this years FSA adoption conference looking for some help on how to start the process again. We have a few things that are causing this round to be a little harder. We adopted via LDS Family Services for our first and found that they did good with trying to help the women make the best decision for them and the babies. So now with recent changes they are no-longer doing adoptions and that has left us with trying to find a different method of adoption. Back to the conference we went hoping for news or pointers and ended up leaving before lunch. We went to the first class and attempted to learn about foster care and this we can say is NOT for us. We did not like how they were not giving us all the facts and hiding some of the stuff we would not like, and with Miriam's first hand dealing with the children in Foster Care we have opted out on that option. So the next was to see if we could get ideas about other adoption groups that would be a good fit for us but we did not get any of that info. So we are back to square one and on our own this time. We both left real sad and not sure what to do, but I can say Miriam is back on it this morning she has already talked with a new agency and had some good news. So that is the adoption update.
On the other side of life the little man is picking up on many words and we are both on top of what we do and say because he is a sponge. He loves picking up rocks and showing us his finds and loves the outside. He will be a great Boy Scout. He kicks the ball and catches bugs (Mom does not like that part as much because he loves to bring them to her and give her the mashed dead bugs). He has some great dance moves and loves to sing along to the music. What a little man.....
More to come keep checking back.
