So Thursday rolled by and the three things I had to look forward to were the huge TV lineup tonight, the NCAA basketball tournament, and spending some one on one time with Amy. The last few days have helped Amy and I become more and more open to adoption, if that is the route we end up going. Hanging out with our wonderful friends and their children has let Amy and I know that more than anything we just want to be parents.

Sunday we hung out with the Brinlee's and their son Mason. Mason is at an age where the simplest things in life give him the most pleasure. He is so much fun to be around. Monday night the Parsons stopped by with their two daughters. It was the first time to see little Alivia since she was a newborn and Ava had grown up so much it was amazing. Wednesday night we had Scott, Neilly and Henry, who was crawling all over the place, over for dinner. It was also a night to celebrate because we found out they are expecting their second child. They were waiting to tell us due to everything that was going on with us. It was thoughtful for them to think of us and we are happy they decided to tell us. Although things did not work out for us, we don't want people to think that they cannot share the joys in their lives due to what has happened.

I am looking forward to the weekend. Tomorrow night Amy and I will be at the Oklahoma Museum of Art viewing the documentary "Crips and Bloods: Made in America". Saturday we are headed to Watonga to spend some time with my family. It will be nice to get out of town for a little while. Not much else seems to be going on. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
