Since June?

Holy Cow! It's been since June that we posted last. Well, a lot has happened in the past 2 months. Our house in VA is on the market and we traveled to Seattle and purchased a new home. Not to mention, Carter turned a year old (he has had 4, yes 4, birhtday parties). Paiges' parent's stopped in for a quick visit on their way to Texas at the beginning of July and stopped again on their way back at the end of July, we followed them to CT a few days later for Paige's mothers retirment party and one of Carter's 4 birthday parties. My parents were here for one last visit to VA this past weekend and on Monday we received our letter in the mail from the Hartford (CT) Probate Court letting us know that our hearing date to finalize Carter's adoption is on September 21st. This is the day after our anniversary and 5 days short of 6 months that Carter came home with us. Now that we have this confirmed we scheduled the movers to come pack us on 9/16 & 17, once the house is packed we can leave for CT and finalize the adoption and from there begin our drive to Washington state with the dogs. We'll work at getting some pictures up from the summer so everyone can see how big Carter is getting, at last check he was 28 pounds and 32 inches tall! - John
