We’re at the top of the hill and about ready to swoop down the track. Which is better/worse, the anticipation or the actual “tummy tickler” feeling? We are moving. Soon. My husband started a new job within his same company (he’s worked for them for 12 years) with their technology division in Denver. We will be [...] My three year-old’s newest favorite adjective: disgusting. Actually, it comes out more like, “It’s is-gussss-tig!” She used it twice today in context, but since it was disgusting I will spare you the details. Loves to play in the snow! Today is prefect for enjoying the 6 -7 inches we got in the last day and night. The stuff is powder with no ice and the sky is clear and blue with no wind. Perfect! There are snow angels, big boot tracks and little boot tracks, and sled marks [...] Every article of clothing Ellie put on this morning was backwards upon further inspection. Doesn’t bother her one bit! She’s pretty cute with the satin bow that should be in the front of her pants actually on her rear. when I saw Ellie licking the condensation off the window this morning.

Her mouth was wide open – like there was a pseudo-paci in her mouth when I went in to check on her late last night. She didn’t have too much to say about it when she got up just now. I was ready to [...] Ellie has been in bed now for almost an hour WITHOUT her pacifier – at her request. I took out her monitor for our trip to Florida over Christmas and didn’t see the need to return it, but now I would love to know if she is in there tossing and turning or sleeping contentedly. We [...] I think I have said here before that I think my heart is guarding itself against how difficult the waiting is while seeking to adopt a child. It was such an arduous process in waiting for Ellie’s referral. The waiting time frames doubled during our wait (unfortunately, China is way beyond that at this point). [...] |
