Reece is FOUR


Right at home with Jimmy...
Reece turned four on the 11th...and we are all still in one piece!!!

My sweet, energetic, full of life little girl, I am so thankful everyday for you. You bring so much joy to our lives and always keep up on our toes. You are so fearless and greet each day with eyes wide open, no expectations....just seeking a new adventure. You give the best hugs. You hug like you will never hug them again. You are certainly talkative and love nothing more than to talk on the phone for hours at the time if we let you. You love to sing and dance, anything that is freeing. You love God and your outlook on life is so sweetly simple.
We love you our Reece a roni! We hope this year will be the best ever and you never grow out of your sense of adventure!
We opted not to do a big party this year because we are going to Goldsboro this week to celebrate Reece's birthday with our family and for our final social worker visit on Monday. Each birthday, we leave it up to the birthday girl to pick what/where they want to eat. They are princess for a day (which Reece had no problem reminding us all of!). So, with any place in the world to eat Reece picks Margaritaville. Ah, she makes her Papa Price so proud in Heaven! Here are a few shots:

No words for this one....

My first Christmas


Haley pug still loves to hang out under her chair....
In other news, we just finished all of our adoption training! Yeah! We have our last set of interviews coming up on Monday, so we are doing really well getting everything done in a timely manner. Hopefully our home study will be all put together and approved in August and we can get on the waiting list. We really hope to have our son/daughter home by next Halloween! Right now we are just trucking along and trying to learn all we can about Korean culture.
On another note, (and I realize this is a long post full of all kinds of stuff), PPD unfortunately had to let go some of it's workforce this past week....and I am overcome with emotion for them. These are folks we have worked along side for many years, created friendships with. I cannot imagine the loss they feel at this time. I really feel that there is a bigger plan for each of them, better than they could have imagined, and that is where they are being led. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they are going through this period of change.
