Today, I ran my last load of laundry in my old Maytag washer and dryer. We received them as a wedding gift 13 years ago. I read that the average life span for a washer and dryer is 10-13 years. My Mom and Ryan’s Mom both had Maytags for 20+ years while we were growing [...]

Yep, it was bound to happen. Hannah wiped out big time last night on her bike while we were at the park. She was playing with some kids who were on scooters and she got busy paying more attention to them whizzing by than focusing on her bike. Bloody nose, bloody lip, bloody knuckles, bruised knees. I [...] …how many families in America have plastic Easter eggs strewn all around their house. Hannah and Ellie have played “Easter Egg Hunt” all week hiding the eggs for one another. They have had a great time. But, there are eggs hidden in every room…I think it will take us until the 4th of July to find them [...] Hannah and her Daddy are currently on a bike ride. I am ashamed to say that she just got her first “non training wheel” bike last week. In Missouri, we lived on a hilly, rocky road where it would have been impossible for her to learn. She had a couple of lessons this week after Dad got [...] I love the springtime when dandelions make their appearance. Not just because they bring Ellie such delight in picking them for our table centerpiece, but because of my mom. My mom was very sick with pneumonia when she was due to have my sister (3_??? years ago). My brother was 3 years old that summer.

(I was sort of listening, but focused more on preparing a salad for dinner.) I heard her say, amidst the endless chatter, that her leg was broken, but Mommy [...] This morning we met with the caseworker who is writing our updated home study now that we have moved to Colorado. The meeting was pretty straight forward. We’re sort of “been there-done that” when it comes to adoption paperwork. We have learned that “hurry up and wait” is the category to place pretty much everything [...] I heard about 3 referrals earlier in the week, but the final count for this round is 5 referrals. They have been slow to come so far this year so this is exciting for those of us on the “waiting list”. We have gotten the ball rolling in having our immigration paperwork transferred to Denver and [...] We were gearing up to play a game of Twister after dinner last night. I told Ryan to be careful not to fall on any little people. Ellie piped up, “Yeah, cause I might get squished-ded!” It took 8 minutes to get home from Kohl’s tonight. |
