Congrats! We are so thrilled for you guys that you are adopting. That is going to be one lucky child!
Yay, a new post! Good to see all kinds of things moving ahead beautifully. FYI: Got myself a little something in the mail a couple weeks ago - I might not get to it for another week or two, but I'm on top of it. xo, Anj
WOW, It is so great to see Bethany looking so good. Glad all is going well. That's very exciting about your adoption too. Our friends brought home two girls from Ethiopia on Halloween -- a saga that will be happily absent with a domestic adoption. We are 100% supportive of your choice, and hope all goes smoothly.

I was so excited to see a post from you! Glad to hear you guys are doing well and you feel like things are getting back to normal. How exciting about the adoption! Can't wait to hear more about that! :)
Loved hearing (and seeing) the highlights! :) You guys are FABULOUS!!
Love that Matthew is coaching soccer, so cute! Great hearing/seeing an update! Can't wait to see you guys!
Great post... you have all had a busy month. Good luck on the adoption stuff that will be exciting. I am glad to hear the treatments are over... good luck figuring out the dosing for your thyroid.
Glad Bethany is on the up and up! Ü ANd how fun to see that you are going to adopt! Awesome! Your kids are looking sooo grown up!
Do you guys want a boy or a girl? I love the pictures and I cannot wait to see you guys soon!
I love the comment on #5. Because we all know you meant little legs for both Daddy and son:-)
Yay, an update! I don't even know where to start. An enormous congratulations on completing radiation. And, how awesome to be adopting!!! There is a family in our ward who had 4 children (she had to have cesareans, so she had to stop at 4), but wanted more. They adopted 6 more, now have 10 kids under the age of 10, all have been sealed to them and they are the NEATEST family I've ever known. So fun and exciting, Bethany! I miss you. Let me know if you ever make it to Dallas ... and I'll let you know if I make it to Oregon for H2C next year. xoxo.
What troopers you all are. I still can't believe you're so close and we haven't even seen you yet! You wanna come over sometime??? Hold tight...you're doing GREAT! HUGS!!!
