Brrrrrr...it's cold up there!

About a week ago, Sarah and Chance finally received a letter from the Apache tribal court stating that a hearing for McKai's adoption was set for Friday Feb. 27th. So, on Thursday afternoon Bradock, Raylee and I packed in Sarah and Chance's truck to head up to Pinetop for the hearing. My mom and dad have been getting lots of snow up there, so we had to pack extra warm.

Here's a pic of Mr. B waiting in the truck at the Apache court house. The hearing wasn't quite what we expected. It looks like the tribe wants their social workers to do a inspection of Sarah and Chance's home and then they can set a final court hearing. The judge said they would have the final court date in a year. That kind of shocked and disappointed us all, but Sarah and Chance were able to file a petition to expedite the process, so hopefully we will see things move a little quicker. We will continue to pray for our sweet little McKai to legally be apart of our family.


Friday night Brett finally joined us in cold country and him and the kids had a fun day in the snow on Saturday.



Bradock and Raylee were having so much fun sledding.






Hello?...Hello?





After they got bored of sledding, Bradock and Dad decided to build the best "Frosty" the snowman ever! Bradock kept telling me that when we got to Mamaw's and Papa's house that he was going to build a snowman just for me and she was going to be pretty. Then he would build one for dad and it would be handsome.





These two loved eating snow.
