Well, I got Divyne up this morning and sat her on the floor to take care of Riley. Riley had set his toys on the floor so he could use the bathroom. Before we knew it Divyne had a hold of his toys. I had to think about it for a minute. The only way she could have gotten to where the toys were was by crawling. So I placed the toys further away and what do you know? SHE IS CRAWLING!!! We have been working with her for a little while. She now can lay on her tummy and push herself back into sitting position, she can reach for toys by getting on her hands, she even reaches as far as her little arms will allow then push herself back into sitting position and NOW crawling. We are so proud of her. She finally figured it out.

Corbin is Awake!!
Here is a video of Corbin. He has just had a diaper change, a really messy diaper I might add, so I am in the process of getting some new clothes for him while Daniel keeps him entertained. Enjoy. He is a cutie and really alert. It is hard to capture this in a picture so enjoy the video.

Peekaboo
Divyne's favorite game is peekaboo and who better than to play it with than her favorite person Riley. Riley can make her laugh at anything. They just have so much fun together. This is a video of the two of them playing peekaboo.
Our Little Rugrats

Exciting News
Well, I just spoke to Corbin's Social Worker. His Birth Mom relinquished her rights and they had enough evidence to relinquish birth fathers rights. So the process begins. There is a court hearing on December 7 where the state shows proof that they had evidence to terminate fathers rights, then the next court hearing will be the TERMINATION HEARING! THEN the adoption process will begin. The adoption worker at the department says that the adoption process could take from 1-2 years so by the time we can officially go before a judge and call him ours. So we are in for a long process but we can say that he is ours. WAHOO!!!! Now we wait until December to know what happens to Divyne.

October in Review
I can't tell you how crazy this past month has been. So let’s just start from the beginning.
We brought Corbin home the 2nd week of October.
I had to do the Relief Society newsletter for October so I had to find a topic, put the newsletter together and get it emailed to our newsletter person. Needless to say she didn’t get the newsletter out until the last week of October.
I am now officially a stay at home mom-they called me and asked if I would cover a shift and when I couldn’t do it they told me I needed to choose so my choice was my little family.
Divyne started to get her “two front teeth” so she has been one unhappy little girl. Then on top of not feeling good she has been very clingy & wants nothing more than to just be with me. That makes being a mom of three a little complicated. That is when we ALL love it when “daddy comes home”!!!!! Especially “mommy”!
Corbin has started this "Hold Me" kick. If you put him down at all he starts to cry then the minute you pick him up he falls asleep in your arms. So you have Divyne who is screaming because she doesn’t feel good then Corbin crying because you put him down.
I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO PULL MY HAIR OUT!!!
HOWEVER...We did have a fun Halloween Night. Here are some pictures of our 3 little rugrats. Riley was a Bat, Divyne was a Pink Leopard, and Corbin was a pumpkin.
Then I had to teach last Sunday. Trying to plan a lesson with 3 kids was almost an impossilble but I put it all together Saturday night. Then I got released from the Relief Society Presidency (I was warned a few months ago that a release was coming but never told that I specifically was being released. I mean I know that when the Pres. is released everyone else does too but I just didn’t know it was going to happen Sunday) and was blind sided when it was announced that the Relief Society Presidency was being released. So then I was approached by a member of the Bishopric and asked to be the Nursery Leader. The Bishopric member who asked me seemed a little shocked that I accepted the calling-maybe because when we first moved in I told them I did NOT want to be in the Primary. I am kind of excited though. Riley is in nursery, and Divyne is at the age where you can’t take her to Sunday School because she talks too much so now she can come to nursery with me and play to her hearts content.
Anyway, we are now in November and we are starting with a clean slate. I looked out the window this morning and was shocked to see so much snow on the mountains. The snow is coming. I don’t think I am ready.
We are having Thanksgiving at our house this year so I am a little nervous with 3 kids how this will go but I think we will have plenty of help. We really miss all of the SE Idaho folks and really wish we could be there for the Holidays.
We welcome November with open arms. We will know whether or not we can adopt Corbin by Friday well most likely Monday. The 30 day hearing was post-poned to November 7. We will keep you all posted.
