Auntie and Uncle duty

**updated 9-22-08**  Here's the picture I promised.  Cute huh?

We had quite an eventful weekend.  My brother entrusted the care of his 6 month old to us from Friday night to Sunday night - and before you say 'awwww, fun'...let me share the deets.

Austin is a cute little turd...BUT he's teething, has a cold AND got his 6 month shots on Friday.  Poor little duffer.  He had a rough couple days - as did his Auntie Holly and Uncle Nathan. ;)   We did learn that he LOVES to take baths, he just lays in the water and kicks his legs and thrashes his arms around.  Frank was quite curious about the mini-human and didn't leave my side the whole weekend.  Winston, on the other hand, hid under the bed or in the closet or in the bowels of the couch the entire time...I don't even think he came out to eat - which is ok, he has quite sufficient fat stores to get him through a few days.   Overall, we did have fun with Austin here and it will be fun to have him again sometime...and yes, we still want kids (Although I wasn't so sure at 3:45am  Sunday morning after he had yet to sleep longer than 2 hours since we picked him up). 

Still haven't found the cord to upload pics - if I do find it I'll get one of him in the tub up here.

Hi friend! No, LDSFS won't substidize other adoption agencies (I asked). If you go in that direction, you are responsible for the whole fee. Deseret First credit union does offer low-interest rate adoption loans. If you move during finalization, your caseworker will tell you what to do - it is doable and depends on the state, etc. You can't bless your baby or go to the temple until the adoption is finalized (where ever you are). If you do foreign adoption, the finalization is done when you land in the USA. Call if you have questions!
