Moving day!

Today our North Carolina family, Steve and Kevin, came into town. 1st, we went to a lawyer to work on the legal side of the adoption. 2nd, we went home to await the arrival of ALL Kien's stuff on a moving truck. It came this afternoon and it's amazing how much stuff a 19 month old can own!

We tried to get a quick family picture, but it sure is hard to get everyhone lookin decent at once. Well try again soon. lol

Can you believe this?

Daddy sat with him and started the engine! Kien didn't blink. (bad news...)

Kien LOVES the dogs and visa versa

Kien is patting and kissing Duke. Daisy is a bit rambunctious for him, but he still loves her too.

Kien adjusting to his new home

We showed him his room when we got home and he likes it!  He has all kinds of things to entertain himself in a big, new house.  Two new dogs, new toys and new family members!

Uncle Brian meets Kien!

Luckily, Kien's new Uncle Brian (Cathi's brother from Omaha) got a chance to meet him and spend time with Kien before his flight left tonight.

Little Kien arrives in Texas!

He was having fun exploring his new house. He liked his new room and didnt try to leave it much at all. Its like he knew it was his. The little desk was my childhood desk and Kien felt right at home with it and his new rubber truckies.

Sonogram time!

Cathi and I went to the doctor to get her sonogram this afternoon. And... We are going to have a baby!!!! WOOO! hehe
We saw live on camera the baby boppin' its head to the beat of some unknown drum. Yup! A little baby in the tummy! Maybe baby likes the kids playin' their instruments?!

Cold morning!

So they day started out with a frozen ice land outside. Brandy and Jeremy's schools were closed and my boss told me to take the day off. Im glad, because our vehicles were frozen.

Today today! Its an exciting day today!

It's a freezing cold ice storm day here in North Texas. It was in the 20s here and raining all night. The kid's schools are closed and my work is opening up late. At 1:40 we have a sonogram with Cathi's doc and then at 3:45 my mom flies into the airport with little Kien!

It should be a pretty exciting day!

Painting the baby's room...

I wanted to do some touchup paint to the baby room and Cathi went and got the me paint mixed that I told her to get. Ooooppsss... It was the wrong color. So Brandy and I stayed up till after midnight changing the color of the baby room. heh Well its looks great anyway!

Meanwhile, Jeremy was cleaning his room and seeing how high he can jump on the wall. heh heh

Just about ready...

Kien comes in two days and we just about have his room ready for him! Brandy gave up her room (which happens to be baby blue) and we have it all cleaned up and ready for the little guy! We are still waiting on a moving truck from North Caroline to come and drop off all the furniture for Kien.
