I totally forgot to mention that Saturday I went to see Shannon & Tony’s new house. It’s way cute in a very nice neighborhood. I’m so happy for them! I also got to finally meet Senor Mustachio! (Tony) He is super nice and much louder and more entertaining than I could have ever hoped! He…

I swear CSP & I are the worst at being on time anywhere. We could have a clear schedule all day with one appointment in the afternoon and still be pushing it to get there on time. Oy. We tried to get our passports this afternoon but Jon’s birth certificate was apparently not an official…

They covered everything from attachment to orphanage conditions, to what to expect when you’re in-country, to what to expect when you…

I thought I would share with y’all the latest batch of ridiculous things people have said to us about our adoption. –“Don’t get me wrong, I want you to have children, I just want you to be smart about it.” Well thank goodness you warned us. We were about to go do something stupid without…

Saturday we awoke to a note on our door that our neighbor accidentally cut the telephone cable. This is a problem since our internet is DSL. I felt like a true American Pioneer as I tried to survive until today without phone or the web. It amazed me how often over the course of 2…
