Sooner Than Soon

Well, there ya go. You're caught up. Which is a really good thing because I'm out of time.  School starts for us in exactly two weeks and, since we've started this grand adventure in  homeschooling, this means that I have far less time than I've had this summer.  I've spent the summer getting y'all caught up and doing what fundraising I can do. Now, it's time to switch gears and focus on the kids that we already have at home. Sooner than soon Luna will be in our arms. <crosses fingers and toes and every body part that bends>

For now, this is where I leave you because this is where we are:



 
 
 


 


 
It’s really beginning to feel like this, like these photos - there’s always someone missing. It’s a miserable feeling. You just can’t quite settle because you’re always looking around, counting heads, wondering what feels not quite right and then you remember, Oh, right.
 
I never know what to tell people when they ask me how many kids we have, the right answer is, "we have three at home." But you know, my brain doesn't work that fast, I'm always fumbling around with some version of, "Well, um, we have three older kids, three at home, and one in China," which leaves people blinking at me in scary silence, wondering to themselves, What do I say to that?  
 
I've become the crazy adoption lady. This is another phase of adoption -Crazy Adoptive Parent- and I've reached it.
 
You'll be the first to know when significant things happen in the process. 'Til then!
