This past week as been particularly laid back. Tim and I have been spending the week in Zillah at his parent's home. My days have gone something like this: sleep in, eat breakfast, go for a swim and a run (I'm training for a triathlon), take a shower and do all those other things necessary to get ready for the day, eat lunch, read a book, do some homework, help Hal frame the basement, or play WiiFit, eat dinner, watch a movie or play a game while eating ice cream, and finally, go to bed. I'm sorry for all you poor souls who have had to go to work this week.
Using the air nailer to help frame the Phillips' basement.
Tuesday I attended a Relief Society luau dinner with my mother-in-law, Joyce, and my sister-in-law, Hillary. I won a funky pair of sunglasses for "doing" the limbo. We were also able to visit some old friends. Wednesday, we were able to go to the Columbia River Temple. It is a very pretty temple. We happened to run into two couples from Tim's parent's ward who invited us to dinner after the session. That was a lot of fun. Thursday, Tim's cousin Jimi came to town and we made homemade pizza for the occasion. The pizza was a hit. Friday and Saturday I helped Hal do some framing in the basement. (See the picture for proof that I can be handy.) Joyce made a comment that Hal isn't going to have to help Tim build us a house one day, he's going to be helping me build us a house someday. :) I have to admit those tools are pretty fun to use.
I don't feel like there's anything too exciting to report from this week. However, Tim and I have gotten some adoption pass-along cards made up. We give them out if adoption ever comes up in conversation, we leave them with our checks at restaurants, and basically just use them to help spread the word. The cards do two things. First, make people aware that we want to adopt and secondly, give people several ways to contact us or our case worker. If any of you would like any of them to hand out, let us know and we can get some to you.

Also, I know that some of you have put a post about us on your own blogs to help spread the word. Thank you; it's working! If you haven't posted about our hopes to adopt on your blog and you are willing to, we would appreciate it. We just ask that you DO NOT include our last name, specific location, links to this website, or other personal information of the sort. In this day and age a little bit of anonymity is important, especially when adopting. (Please send people to our adoption website: www.timandkaitlyn.com) Unfortunately, adoption scams do happen and we can prevent being scammed by not sharing personal information.
