It's Been Way Too Long! Playing Catch-Up Part 1!

I tell you; my intentions are good, but for some reason I just can't get everything done and together.  So yet again I'm playing catch up on my blog.  So here is Part 1, December 2011-April 2012.

Local CAS Family Picnic

     Back in February of this year another adoptive mom from our agency and I started back up a local adoption group for people in our area that are working with or have worked with CAS(our agency) along with a few other adoptive families that did not use CAS, but it is an adoption group, so all are welcome.  We now have 17 families in our group from surrounding counties and we have a great time.  Once a month we have a Ladies Night Out and then last Saturday we had our first Family Fun Picnic where we were able to meet the families behind these wonderful moms and moms-to-be.  We had 10 families in attendance.  Our group consists of families from all areas of adoption; still doing paperwork, home study phase, waiting, already placed, domestic, and international adoptions.  We had hot dogs, hamburgers, and all the fixins'.  We had the gathering on my family's land in the field by our ponds and barn.  Here are a few picture from the day.
