Did you know.....

that November is National Adoption Month??  I was reminded of that today when I received a letter from Lutheran Social Services--the organization which we went through to adopt Julia.  For me it's even more significant because our anniversary is in November.  And the 4th Saturday of November is National Adoption Day--again significant because our anniversary is the 4th Saturday of the month--which of course changes--but this year its November 21.  Humm--even though we didn't plan it (original plan was for a week before but the reception hall wasn't available) do you think that this was the "plan" all along?  I think so.  
So celebrate!  Hopefully your community has an Adoption celebration.  Madison doesn't have much--but we'll celebrate in our own way with our own children--who came to us through the wonderful gift of adoption.

Happy (Early) Anniversary. We will be celebrating, but it will be Josh's 12th birthday. :-) I think we might have TWO cakes so we can celebrate both -- sounds good to me, doesn't it you?? Our anniversary is Thanksgiving Day this year -- whoo hoo!!
