I came across this blog post today. Mr R was one of our caseworkers for a minute after Landon was born (we had MANY following Landon's placement). He was very nice and it was fun to talk to him since they had just adopted a little boy through LDSFS. The post is long, but a worthwhile read!
PS How adorable are their boys?!?

Lesson Learned (the hard way)
Allie has a small lamp that she uses as a night light. Lately she has been sneaking it into bed with her. I think it's probably so that she can read when she's supposed to be snoozing. Whenever I've seen it on her bed I've mentioned to her that it is not a good idea to place it there because it could be very dangerous. She is usually such a cautious girl that I can't believe she didn't take my warnings seriously. This morning she awoke to a terrible smell and this mess:
She handed the lamp to Eric and suggested that we take it away from her forever. I think it's safe to say that she learned this lesson the hard way. I'm thankful that she didn't end up torching her bed and getting seriously hurt. Thank goodness for flame resistant bedding! That little night light burned through a throw blanket, comforter, mattress pad, vinyl mattress cover and about an inch and a half of her mattress. The major casualty was the stuffed animal that came in her Easter basket. That was resolved by a quick trip to the store to replace it. I found a nice collection of stuffed Easter animals at Kohl's on clearance. It was the best $2 I've spent in a long time!

Family Night on the Farm
Last night we took advantage of the Spring-like weather and headed to Thanksgiving Point Farm Country. It was so nice to be outside in the beautiful weather. We hope that there is a lot more enjoyable weather to come!
