This was Kenzie making a face at a pool party we went to on Memorial Weekend. Just thought I'd brighten your day...

Our Past Week
Man, we have had ourselves in for a busy week this past one! Check out a little bit of our schedule:
-On Monday, we (I say we, I mean my mom, Keaton, Kenzie, my mom's friends and her daughter; I was at the beach w/ my grandma) drove up to Austin to do something with the adoption paperwork. (It was all the paperwork...we took it all up there for certification.)
-And then, anyway, on Tuesday (the following day) and took the paperwork up to the Chinese consulate. Which, thank heavens, is about 30 minutes away from us. (I honestly haven't a clue what they did to the paperwork there...lol)
-Then, Wednesday, we went to a local-ish consignment shop for children, to shop for toys and clothes for the two girls. (This place is one of our favorites.) And then went on to church.
-Thursday was a day for me. :-D I went with my girl scout troop to an all-day shopping spree at the mall. I had a great time, and so did everyone else. :-)
-Friday, we *shudders* took Kenzie to the doctor. If you ever want to hear your child scream loud, a good way to fulfill your wish would be to take them to the doctor. Thankfully, though, no shots! Yay! We also (this was technically before the doctor appointment) took another paper up to the Consulate, and we will be picking up those on Monday. PLUS we have been working hard to get some last-minute things done for the girl scout camp my mom is directing and putting on in 2 weeks.
Phew!
-Today, (Saturday), we went to a big homeschool convention/trade show type-thing (I guess that's what you would call it...?) to buy our curriculum and material for the next school year coming up.
But...sports are over for now, and so are most of our activities. Summer camps and VBS's will pack up our Summer (plus me working at the place where I volunteer at, 3 days a week). Hopefully some of this will take our minds off time and make it seem like we get Karli sooner. (One can but hope...)

Steven Curtis Chapman
Hey, everyone. If you haven't heard about what happened to Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter yet, I encourage you to check out their website (http://www.stevencurtischapman.com/), and read the article, as well as pray for them. This is a sad and unfortunate time for their family, and we probably wouldn't have Kenzie with us right now if he hadn't publicized about his adoption(s) and got my parents interested. My heart goes out to them, but I know God has a plan for their family, and it will work out in the end. Anyway, I just encourage you to pray for the Chapman family, because they have done some really amazing stuff for other families who are adopting. Thank you.

Cross The Line Tour
Last night, my dad and I went to the Cross The Line Tour (concert). It featured superchic[k] (who we go to meet and take a picture with), Britt Nicole (she was amazing), Starlet Platoon (didn't care for them), KJ-52 (he was really good), and Disciple (hate them.) Anyways, I only have pics of the superchic[k] part of the shows, so here they are.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! (And a little more on Kenzie...)
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! Today, being mother's day, was also Kenzie's baby dedication at our church. She looked adorable in her dress, and I hope to have pictures on here soon.
Everything is going good with Karli's adoption, but as always, we are only hoping the wait could go faster. Kenzie is very happy and healthy. She loves to talk and play around, and I think when she starts talking for real...well, i don't think she'll be quiet! :-) Since she's been home, she has opened up so much more. I also think (along with talking) her future will also hold sometihng along the lines of music and dancing. Her favorite groups (of the week) to dance to are probably Hawk Nelson (I just got the "Smile, it's the end of the world" CD and she absolutely LOVES it) and Carrie Underwood (the Carnival Ride album). Can't say she has bad taste in music...:-) She also has a crazy addiction to the piano (I have been playing for 7 years, and Kylie has been playing for about 2, I think) and she adores climbing up and sitting on the piano bench and playing (not banging, actually something [resembling] music). But what can I say? We knew she was something special all along...
(Note: to all the moms out there, have a great day!)

More Pics
Here's some pictures of Kenzie at Kids 'N Action, a place near our home where little kids (babies, too) can play and have fun; like an indoor playground.
