Toy Story 3 came out on video today. Not really blog worthy except that 1) it was actually available from Redbox and 2) it was one of the ways God made it clear to us that we were meant to adopt Brice, Halie and Jasmine. I had forgotten about that until I saw Bonnie, the sweet little cartoon girl, again.
We had just met the kids and we were in the "pray until something happens" phase. The plan was to not begin the process again until October, and there we sat, in June. Dave and I both felt our hearts jump after we met the kids, and we really were feeling like these could be our kids, but it didn't go with our plan, so I was hesitant.
Then, we took Chloe, Carter and Wren to the theater to see Toy Story 3. As soon as this little girl popped on the screen, Dave and I looked at each other and just laughed. She looked just like Halie. Short brown hair, great big brown eyes, and the sweetest smile.
And now, Dave and I have been commenting how we don't even remember life before being a family of 9.
Halloween was so exciting! Although we had been talking about Halloween for over a month, Jasmine walked up the first house, said, "Trick or Treat" and then came running back to us yelling, "Candy, they gave me candy!" She was shocked! Obviously she didn't remember that candy was involved in the process. After each house, she would run so excitedly on to the next one, that all of the newly acquired candy would spill out into the grass.
