Sunday, we had Christmas with Jessi’s family at her Mom and Dad’s - aside from some falling noodles, everyone had a wonderful time! The girls are actually starting to figure out this whole Christmas gift-giving ritual - it’s fun to see their excited little faces - even if this isn’t what Christmas [...]

Although we’re still running around like headless chickens, I don’t have a lot to report.  Posts here will probably be quiet the next few days unless something exciting happens.
We’ll be moving into the new house this weekend.  Sunday, December 2nd at 2:00 pm is our official moving time, so if you’re available, bring your strong [...]

It’s been a busy week at the KipferHome. My last day at work was Wednesday, we closed on both houses Wednesday as well, we had a great but quick Thanksgiving at our house (amongst the boxes), and just today we purchased a new van - a 2005 Buick Terraza CXL:

Jessi’s been in packing mode this week with our house closing ever so near - she’s got us down to basically 1 plate and 1 cup for the next 3 weeks, but I’m not complaining. (it’s not quite that bad)
We’ve spent the majority of the evening going through our bedroom.
Who knew we had this [...]

We’ve finally got a date scheduled for our house closing - next Wednesday the 21st! It’s about time something starts to happen!
We’re still looking for a van, so please pray that something works out soon!

I’ve heard it said that you are only supposed to be able to handle 2 major life changes in a year. Beyond that, I guess you’re screwed.
Well, consider us screwed.
Consider the following upcoming changes to the KipferHome…

Moving Day
As many of you know, we’ve had our house up for sale for over [...]

Still working on the new layout, but here’s some good news…
We’re one step closer to being adoptive parents - the birthmother decided to choose us should she give her little girl up for adoption after she’s born. She’s still having doubts - understandably so.
Now we have a home study and legal process in front [...]

I caught this moment of Olivia running around playing tonight at Tyler’s party…thought I’d share real quick before bed:

Well, we met with the birthparents (and the birthmother’s parents) today for about 2 hours. It was actually very comfortable to talk openly and honestly with them and I think they felt the same.
There are still unanswered questions about whether or not they will choose us - or even if they will ultimately choose [...]
