October 26!

Last week our agency received referrals for those logged in on October 26th of 2006.  So we are right at 30 log in days away from our LID!!!!!! What does that mean?  Well, it means we will likely receive a referral around October of this year.  It looks like we may be about 6 months away from seeing that precious face!  Wow wee, do I have a lot to do! 
Also Larry harvested this awesome turkey last week and it was yummy!  Yes, for those who dont live around here,  we eat wild game!  Healthier and no hormones, so don't judge!  ha ha

March/April 2012 Re-cap

Well, I think I mentioned this in the last post, maybe not.  During the course of this long wait to bring our baby home, I've tried multiple times to document daily happenings.  Boring, as you can see right now.  I've found I'm better at brief daily diary entries (which I do on a calendar) because my otherwise lengthy, detailed journal entries are far too cumbersome and not very interesting.  So I decided to at least give a monthly recap/reflection on what we were doing last year, 2012. Why?  Well, because this is when we believe our child was born.  Time will tell.  In the mean time, I am continuing my calendar entries in case she is born some time this year so we will at least have an idea what was going on in our lives when our little one enters the world.
So, last March I had foot surgery (elective) and was off work for five weeks, had a walker, ortho boot and physical therapy. What was good about it? Time off work and lots of sunshine. We had an unusually warm spring and many 80 degree days.    We are just now in late April experiencing these temps this year.  I spent a lot of my time outside on the deck reading adoption related books and the "Hunger Games". Also about that time our precious Meeka dog had her second seizure (the Saturday before I went back to work).  Sadly, we knew then things were getting worse for her.  On a brighter note, some friends of ours brought home their son from Ethiopia.  What a joy!
