We spent some time with Mandi's family on Valentine's Day and for Audrey's birthday.

M & M

AND...

Conversation with a 3 1/2 year old...

Brayden: Aunt Mandi, can you spend the night tonight?

Mandi: Where will I sleep?

Brayden: You can sleep in my bed with me.

Mandi: But where will Uncle Michael sleep?

Brayden: Umm... he can sleep with Mommy and Daddy.

Mandi: (Hysterical laughter) Sounds good to me!

Cookie Fun

Mandi and some friends learned how to roll, cut, bake, and decorate sugar cookies Tuesday night thanks to Shelby's mom, Patty. Patty is a professional...she is the Wabash County Jail Matron, so she knows what she's doing when it comes to food! It was loads of fun, but Patty said we were the most rebellious group she's ever taught. Really? I'm not sure I believe that considering she works with criminals every day, but whatever!

Random stuff

Kramer, during a recent snowstorm

Watching a 3D episode of Chuck (one of our favorite tv shows)

Where's Yohan? (Clue...he's the bump under the covers.)

P.S. We called our adoption agency last week and they said our scrapbook has been looked at a couple of times, but we haven't been the final choice for those birthmothers.
