We did get through the adoption application process and were approved a couple weeks ago. Now Brandon has ran out of work and I'm trying to find a job(I don't want to have to). So our financial stability has pretty much crushed beneath us and now being able to adopt looks like it won't happen. And it makes me so sad. To have been so close to having a solution to our infertility and have it be taken away so fast. I'm just getting so tired and emotionally exhausted from the ups and downs....
I did get some cute pics of Callie the last couple weeks.
Here she is pretending to do the dishes. And having fun!
We did finish our new (used) Kitchen table. I was really pleased with how well it turned out!
Callie and I made paper dolls the other day. It was a lot of fun!
We have a really sick tree in our front yard and a bunch of the limbs broke this summer, so Brandon cut them off tonight and in the process dumped a TON of leaves on the ground. So Callie and I raked them up. She loves to help us with what we are doing so I need to learn to be more patient and let her help.

I am so sorry to hear about the job and adoption process. I know you really had your hopes up. Is their any thing I can do to help. I also understand of being tired of the emotional roller coster. We need to take a fun vacation together!
p.s. the last picture of callie is so cute! What a beautiful little girl you have!
Wow, Darcie, your post made me cry. I'm so sorry about your husband's job because I know it meant more to you than just being able to pay the bills. I know how much you want to grow your family, and I can only imagine how urgent it must feel to you. I wish there was something I could do for you... just know I will be praying for you, both for a new job and a new baby. If we only knew Heavenly Father's plans for us in advance, wouldn't it be so much easier??? :)
my dear sweet darc. where do i begin? the tears are rolling down my cheeks as i write this to you. how is this possible? you are more deserving then anyone i know to have a baby!!! i know that brandon will get more work and you WILL get the baby that has already picked you to be his/her parents up in heaven. they just have to take the long way of getting to you. i know that Heavenly Father has something really perfect in mind for you. i love you darc. you are one of my best friends and i don't know what i would do without you. i'm ALWAYS here no matter what or when! you are in my prayers and my thoughts always.
ps Callie is adorable! always be thankful for her, she is your miracle baby.
Great job on the kitchen table and Callie is as cute as ever!!
Sorry to hear about Brandon's job and the adoption process. Things will work out. My husband got laid off from work last Christmas and it was a tough time for us, but I now realize that we made it through and we are better for having that experience. Have you ever thought of joining Melaleuca? We joined a couple of months ago and have loved the products and the extra income from it. Good luck and hang in there!!! :)
Darcie! My goodness...I say you have had your trials! ahhh! I know it is so hard to feel the way you do, and for all that you have been through. He must have something really really special planned for your family! Seriously! Hang in there!
