It's a boy!

Little Man is One!

Hi folks. It's been a while since we've updated our blog. Since our last entry we've moved and found out that we are having a baby. That's right everyone...three kids under three and a half! We were so shocked but now we are excited about the fact that our little boys will only be 14 months apart. Bryce turned one yesterday and is as charming as ever. He is 17.5 pounds and 28 1/2 inches long so he's a little guy but boy is he fast! Our son is a climber. He climbs onto tables, chairs, into the dishwasher and dryer. He is a busy little guy who has only two settings....HIGH SPEED and SLEEPING. He is so full of laughs and smiles. I've honestly never seen a happier little boy. He brings everyone so much joy and it is truly an honor to be called his parents! I promise we'll update again soon. Lots of love!

CAS PICNIC

CAS families came together in celebration of our 15 year anniversary and it was big! It was hot!! More than 300 people attended from across the country representing seven states. Everyone enjoyed each other, lunch, Happy the Clown, multiple activities, and especially the Moonwalk.
During the event, Rosemary Martin, CAS executive director, congratulated Susan Fox and Tania Griasnow, for over ten years of service. Susan Fox, assistant director, and Helen Lewis, board president, congratulated and spoke of the past 15 years and all the successes. They challenged the CAS community to continue to support and work with CAS to ensure the next years of success.
Carolina Adoption Services would like to give a heart felt thanks to all the families who donated items or money to make this event a success! We would also like to thank all the families that traveled from near and far; you are what makes the CAS community so very special.

The Dark Ages...
The water here is not safe to drink or even brush your teeth in as it is loaded with bacteria. Here is a picture of our coffee maker, which I've been using to sanitize the bottles. It takes about half an hour per bottle as you must boil the water once to kill the bacteria in the water, again to sterilize the bottle and then once more for good measure. I have burns on most of my fingers from trying to remove the bottle from the hot water. It only takes me about three hours a day to clean the bottles as it is only big enough to do one at a time! I'm looking forward to using my dishwasher again!
