Cheese

We planned our entire day around cheese curds. These are "the thing" to eat here, so we're told, yet none of the restaurants we've frequented serve them. At dinner the other night over chicken wings, our waiter (who closely resembled Cameron from Modern family), made us a list of the restaurants to try before we leave the area. Regarding cheese curds, he did not steer us wrong. We spent the day around the hotel doing laundry, working and watching bad daytime TV and then it was off to downtown Eau Claire for dinner. Dooley's Pub had good beer, tasty burgers and these amazing bites of goodness they call fried cheese curds. We're hooked!


And look what we passed on the way to dinner...so applicable.


Everett is spending more time with his eyes open these days, although still sleeps practically on cue. He brings us more joy than we could have ever imagined.



Full and sleepy.


Eating is what Everett does best. Here he is attempting to devour the blanket.


Full tummy = happy baby.


Good news from our attorney this morning - we officially have a court date of May 13 for the termination of the birthmother's and birthfather's parental rights. It is not clear yet whether one of us will have to come back for the court date, or if we will both be able to do it via teleconference. Regardless, step 1 of 3 is complete! We had pretty much given up hope on getting home this weekend, but it looks like that possibility is still on the table!

I sent grandmother the blog so she could check in on you. She was so excited yesterday when I got there to tell me that she had spoken with you! I anxiously look forward to checking your blog daily to hear the news and see more wonderful pictures. Sending loads of love and prayers!
