Myles to Go

Our original court date was supposed to be this week, but thankfully that's barely been a blip on my radar. Chris and I have so much to do and so much excitement ahead that I haven't had time to dwell on what might have been. We're still optimistic about our August 7th court date, and we appreciate your prayers!

We're back in preparing for Myles mode at the Hollomon house. Our to-do list is a mile long, but I don't know where to start! There are a few odds-and-ends that I'd like to do around that house that aren't necessary but I prefer to do before Myles gets here (shampoo the carpet, pressure wash the house, clean baseboards, etc.). I have a few decorative things to do to the nursery before it's finished, but the bulk of it is done. I'm also thinking about foods I can make ahead and freeze for when we return from Africa.

And we're so excited to have a baby shower this Sunday!!! Myles is clearly loved by many already, for which we are very thankful. I'll try to post some pictures early next week.

We have a few friends with court dates this Friday, so know that we are thinking of you! Give Myles a squeeze for us when you travel!
