Sunny beaches and the travel system

When we last met Kim had just enjoyed a "shower" of gifts and Marc was preparing to head to Miami to attend a client event. While he was there from April 17-April 21, he was able to spend exactly 1 hr 45 minutes on the beach. What he did come home with was a wanting to head back soon, this time with Kim in tow and for relaxation. Here are a few of the photos from his time there:


Thanks to many generous gift cards and checks, Tuesday we were able to head to Baby's R Us to get "the travel system." What the heck is a travel system? We're so glad you asked. In ye olden days (when we were kids) one could barely count on being in the car with a seat belt, let alone a car seat. Then, if the family went on an outing there was some sort of fold up stroller or backpack-type contraption our moms and dads had us in. Fast forward to 2007 and prepare to be amazed at "the travel system."




No longer do parents have to take the child out of the car seat as it goes from clicking into a base in the car to clicking into a specially-made stroller or additional base in another car. It has all-terrain wheels, safety locks and a place for keys and a drink. What more could one ask for, right?


We're still anxiously awaiting a copy of our home study to be sent to us so we know what we said and what we should have said. . . haha. Kim has begun the countdown to summer and there are officially only 20 shopping days until the end of the school year. Last week, Kim attended a Power Up Conference to learn about assisted technology for individuals with disabilities. She's now ready to blog her brains out. While at the conference, Dick Hoyt, motivational speaker from Team Hoyt (http://www.teamhoyt.com/) addressed the attendees. This week Kim will also be chaperoning a Circle of Friends luau/dance and going on two field trips.


This weekend Spider-man 3 comes out and we're looking forward to catching it with our good friends Steve and Julie. We've also officially become regular attenders at Vineyard Church (http://www.vineyardkcnorth.com/) and Marc will be joining the worship team for the Saturday evening service to help with camera and video.


We're getting antsy about the child God has planned for us and hope He reveals him (or her) to us soon. We pray for patience while we wait and the wisdom to continue to get things in order. Mostly we're trying to enjoy this time. Thanks for your continued prayer. More soon.
