I know I've been passing the tardy-sauce on the blog but between a couple of trips to Nebraska, Estes Park, Easter, and a lovely, lovely illness Adam and I have been battling for the past 2 weeks including double pink-eye (ewwweee!), there simply has not been a minute to post. (Ok, I'll be honest and say there were some nights I really just sat on my couch watching endless reruns of Dawson's Creek after Adam's was in bed, pondering why it was 'Dawson's creek' when Pacey was so obviously the real star, but other than that, I've been a busy woman :) Easter was wonderful! Adam was dressed to the nines in a great outfit from Grams (Rose) and we headed to our annual Easter buffet. We spent the remainder of the beautiful day outside hunting eggs and having a great time.
Adam and I made it back to Nebraska twice and were able to introduce Adam to his great-great grandma Tella and even take a 5 generation photo, what an amazing gift. Then we attended my cousin's wedding and were able to introduce Adam to his Lighthart family and they to him. It was a great time and Adam and Christian were hits on the dancefloor. I can see many a Footloose-esque highschool dance in their future. And apart from disinfecting our house and ourselves, we've been busy with some family outings to the zoo, aquarium, and parks.
Adam is running, yes running, around now and talks more and more everyday. He has a great sense of humor and a personality to match. He is a ray of joy in our house and in my heart. He is a real angel and an amazing child. You might be doubtful, but you can take my word for it. I mean, I'm his mother...how biased can I be? :)
**Next time on the blog: The Kirwins head to Fort Collins to finalize Adam's adoption. He will become a US citizen and they will become a forever family. This day, of course, will conclude the way all ultimate celebrations should, with a Pickle Barrel sandwich and a tour of the CSU campus where Adam can begin his plans to attend in the future. Do days get any better than this?

Springtime Rocks with Adam! You forgot to mention not one but 2 airplane trips in 2 weeks and still....he was an angel!! GOD picked that boy for our family and it is a blessing we will treasure forever. Can't wait for the Fort Collins trip next month!
I LOVE that little man!! I can't tell you how happy and bless I feel to have in my life. I LOVE watching the boys grow up!
You have such a beautiful family! I am so sorry that we missed you while we were in Denver! I think that we may make it out there again sometime this summer.
Question: How did Adam ever learn to walk/run when people are always carting him around? Just kidding, love the update and glad to see all of you are enjoying some outdoors time. Adam gets cuter every day.
WOW!!! What a great update! I am so excited for your finalization! It was such a great 15 minutes for us! hee hee! Gotta eat at HuHot's though!!!
Maybe we can get the boys together sometime soon and let them run to their hearts content....and give us a break!!!
Blessings,
Jill
Tardy sauce....Carly, you are too funny. I often think of you when I watch re-runs of Friends, speaking of re-runs. It's so fun to see Adam grow up. He looks great! It's so exciting to hear of his adoption finalization!! He is very lucky to have such an AMAZING family.
Love, Tanya
I've been waiting and waiting for a new post, much the way I've been waiting for new episodes of my favorite shows. And now all of my dreams have come true!! Adam is getting to be such a big boy! We MUST get together again soon for a little playdate with Adam and Alyssa. She enjoys looking at his picture on our bulletin board! :-)
Love you all!!
Greetings Beautiful Family,
Thank-you for the updated pictures and they mean even more since we had the great opportunity of meeting the beautiful Adam in person. Keep the pictures coming Carly. I love you all
