So many fun things!

Hey there you fun loving friends! 

So many fun things going on in our life that I don't even know where to start. I'd love to do a bullet-point post... we'll see how well this works out. 

* If you are not following our adoption journey and would like to stay in the loop, you will want to check out our adoption blog. I'll most certainly post about adoption here on Life in the Dub Lane, but the details will always be posted separately.  Here's the Blog: Dub Family Adoption {hint: I posted and you will want to read}. 

* We attended a family reunion for my mothers side of the family this past weekend. Busy, busy, busy is all I can say. It was really awesome to learn more about the history of our family. Such an amazing group of people and I love knowing that not too long ago, my family was the founder of the town in which I was born.  It explains why the lakes, streets, etc are named after us. Really cool!

* I am working on a few crafts here and there, but mainly working on getting our house organized after the room switches. As you all know, I created the play room that will turn nursery when we welcome a baby girl. We moved things around in the old office and have been turning it into the new guest suite. It's my next project. I can't wait to find treasures that will give that room new life.  Not to mention, Pinterest is trouble. Trouble I tell ya. 

* I have one more week left of the Dub Lane Kettlebell Fitness Challenge. It's BEEN awesome! I love each of the girls like they are long time friends. I can not wait for the January 16th Challenge to begin. The waiting list is long, but in my books, the more the merrier. Just means that you have more support, more encouragement and more fun!

* I have made some incredible new recipes lately. All easy, but all pretty healthy. I'll post them each in another post, but here's a little sneak peak. mmm! 

* There isn't much "new" with Kyah. He's still growing, talking, running, climbing, etc. He's the boyest, boy I have ever met. He's into Golf, Football, Basketball, Airplanes, Flash Cards, Wrestling, Climbing and Parks. He's talking non-stop. There's not much that he can not say or communicate. He has learned to count to 10, spell his name and "read" a few words. Right now we are learning a few short memory verses.  I need to set up another "photo shoot" for him soon. It's about time to get some cute fall pictures. 

* Overall, life is going great. It's busy, but it's wonderful. I have come to realize that I am the busiest person I know.  On the flip side, I love it. I don't do well with too much down time. I love to be learning, doing, working, moving, playing.... you name it.  Being a small group leader for our Mops {mothers of preschoolers} group has been ah-maz-ing. Love the opportunity to connect with the girls and get to know them better. Kyah has been enjoying PDO {Parents day out} two days of the week for a few hours. He has made friends and is improving his social skills and learning. 

*Last but not least, I asked Kyah if he wanted a baby sister. His response,  {smiling and bright eyed} "Yes I do.  {Serious face} Will she come with snacks?"  

*Don't forget you can help support us in our adoption journey by shopping in our Etsy Shop, Dub Lane Designs. New items will be added weekly!  100% of the proceeds is applied to our family's adoption funds.
