So Friday night I went down to Norman to assist my best friend, Jami, with her daughter's 10th birthday. Me, Jami and twelve 9 and 10 year-olds. Oh my.... By the time bedtime came, we were exhausted! Through all of the talk of Justin Beiber, boys, and other fascinating things, my favorite part of the evening was when it was time for "lights out" and a movie and 85% of the girls asked if I could help them get into Jami's WiFi network. They all busted out their iTouch, iPhone, iPad, whatever and went crazy. Now, I know I was a spoiled little girl, but really? My goodness, children are growing up quickly. I am pretty sure at 10, I still drooled over my Malibu Barbie Dream House, right? The girls were teaching me about the 4G network, and why I need to update my phone. It was sad and hilarious all at once! Here is the birthday girl; I can't believe she is so grown up! Look at the difference 5 years makes (In her, not my crow's feet....)

So anyhow.... We are going public with our BIG news... We have OFFICIALLY decided to adopt and are EXCITED to start the process this July! We have just come to terms with the fact that it might not be in the cards for us to have a genetic child, but we have a lot of love to give and there are a lot of children that could use the Bradt's in their life. Wish us luck on our journey!
Hugs. Amy
