ICPC Waiting ~ Boise

Our first stop was Pocatello to see Oley's uncle. Adelé was a trooper until we hit about Burley, which I don't blame her.  When we took her out of her seat and took her clothes off to change her diaper the poor baby's umbilical cord had been rubbing on the car seat straps and was now falling off.  Poor little thing. 


Once we made her as comfortable as we could, we finally made it to Boise just in time for Doug and Oley to make it to Rockies to do their "challenge".  


Neither of them were able to finish, but they both had a good time so that's all that matters!  We continued to anxiously await our phone call.  Come to find out the woman who usually takes care of these had retired and our caseworker was unsure who had replaced her and Idaho also had a new guy so it took a little longer than usual.  But by Thursday we finally got the call and were cleared to make our trek home.  We loved hanging out with Lauralynn, Doug, Ryker and Liz.  While we were there we had a really good time playing games with Ryker, Ryker loving on the baby, visiting the newly renovated temple, and going to Ryker's swim lessons.  All and all a good couple days!












   
 Adelé did really well on the drive home. We were able to go about 3 hours between feedings and so made it in a little over 9 hours which was great timing with a little one on board.  As we were pulling up to the house there was a rainbow over head.  
We truly are blessed and are so grateful for all the family and friends that helped us out the past week.  It was such a blessing that Allison just happened to live in the same town as our families so to share in this special time with them was tremendous, but oh how great it was just to be home!  Oley got Adelé's bed ready, read her a bed time story, and we were all sound asleep within minutes. 
Infertility has proven to be one of the most difficult trials that we have endured, but as we all know as we endure our trials well we will be blessed beyond measure and we have definitely been blessed beyond measure!
