Columbus Day

We decided to spend yesterday enjoying the changing leaves and headed to the coast for a day trip. We ended up in Belfast and had a really great time. We brought Brinkley with us and he had fun enjoying a new city! We bought this lantern at a store downtown and Ryan hung it in the dining room yesterday. We are really pleased with it - neither of us really liked what was hanging there before.

Last night we got a solid draft of our profile (for the birth mother) done and we plan to email to our agency for their review today. Things are preogressing right along, and we anticipate that we will be officially "waiting" in the next few weeks.

As a side note - in the picture you can see two beautiful bouquets of sunflowers in the bottom - Ryan has been keeping us in sunflowers from his garden for months! They have been very beautiful this summer.
