Happy Belated Valentines Day!

(I know it's late, but better late than never.)

I love these two people more than anything in the universe, they are my everything. Mike is my best friend and my sweetheart, he is so kind and caring and helps me out with everything. (he does the dishes, can fix anything, and is so creative) I am his biggest fan, he is the love of my life. Mike always knows how to make me laugh. Lilly is my little sunshine, she is so funny and I love watching her grow and learn. It melts my heart every morning when I get her out of bed and she proclaims with joy that Mommy's here and gives me a great big morning hug.
Lilly and I have recently starting baking. I decided that I enjoying baking and Lilly loves to help. A few weeks ago we made raisin bread and it turned out beautifully, we have also made peanut butter kisses cookies and for Valentines we made pink rice crispy treats with sprinkles.

Our big news is we are finally APPROVED to adopt again through LDS Family Services!
Q: What exactly does this mean?
A: It means we can now be shown to potential birth parents across the US and are legally able to adopt if we are chosen to parent.
We are still waiting to get our profile page up on itsaboutlove.org, but our caseworker told us it will most likely be active in a week. Once that is active I will post it so you can check it out. We are so excited to have the approval process done and are looking forward to adding to our little family.

Funny things Lilly has said and done lately:
1. I had a bunch of candy dumped out on the floor and was trying to hurry and put into bags for Valentines day before Lilly saw and she walked in the room saw the candy and said "How beautiful!"
2. I went in her room to tell her to go to sleep for her afternoon nap and she was walking around the room with her snow boots on, princess crown and was carrying a giant bubble wand and said "look mommy, I'm a firefighter"
3. Her new saying taken from an Angelina Ballerina book is "Excellent Darlings"
4. She also thinks that Wowsers is the funniest word ever and when we say it she will bust up laughing.
5. Lilly loves playing with her farm and her favorite animal is the pig, the other day she was caring it around so gently telling it that "it's ok piggy, it's ok" while giving it kisses and hugs.
6. Mike and Lilly were at the store and she was saying hi to everyone one lady she said "Hi, I miss you" the lady was a little shocked, but told Lilly she missed her too :)
7. Lilly was trying to get me to put her down when we were at the computer store and she yelled at the stop of her lungs "I'm soooo poopy, I wanna get down" "Change my bum!" I ended up putting her down :) (and she really wasn't poopy)

Wow that was a lot, I have more too, but I will save those for next time.
