Greetings!

Hello there~
I know I have not updated the blog much lately, but you always know why that is....there hasn't been anything to update. Well, now there is, so here is an update.
Isaiah is doing very well. He continues to learn so much at school and his speech and vocabulary are growing by the day. As are his musical interests. He is now requesting to hear both John Mayer and Dave Matthews on his CD player. Nice!
Last weekend Gabe's parents came to town for 4 days and he ate up all of the attention! He asks daily when they are coming back. He is truly enjoying having a large family.
As for the case, we think we are again moving forward. After recent difficulties his Mom has reconsidered signing consent to terminate her rights and we are hoping to sit down with her and her attorney, as well as ours, this week and try to come to an agreement. Isaiah's DCF worker is moving forward with the adoption paperwork and we believe this will happen sooner rather than later now. But we have been here before...don't forget. So we take everything with a grain of salt.
It has been 2 weeks since Isaiah has seen his mom and he really is a different little guy with that much time elapsed. He must go through such a roller coaster of emotions seeing her then not seeing her. We hope that, after our meeting with her, DCF will start decreasing visits with an eventual end date as soon as appropriate. HA! We think that is now, but who are we??!!?!

Isaiah had his first official play date with one of his friends from school today. I arranged it with the little boy's mom and we all met at McDonald's to play on the play scape. When we walked in he and his friend screeched with joy and ran over to hug one another. They played for a solid hour and had a great time. It was so good to see that a lot of the stuff Isaiah does it just typical little boy stuff. I think I was more nervous than anything. But he did so great!

So, we HOPE there will be movement this week and if there is, we'll update asap.

Until then...

We spent the evening at Bill and Andrea's house last night for play time and dinner. Isaiah and William took some time out to entertain us. Adorable!

We took a family trip to IKEA this past weekend and Isaiah got a new tent aka Cave for his playroom!
