This morning I filed Ty’s finalization paperwork. For Korean adoptions, one does not adopt in country but Korea actually transfers guardianship to our agency. The actual legal adoption takes place about 6 months after placement. We had our last post placement visit yesterday which allowed us to file today. Now we just sit and pray [...]

At this time last week, I was packing for a much anticipated weekend away for some R & R with some girlfriends.
We slept in, ate leisurely breakfasts, slept more, walked along the beach, talked, read, watched a chick flick, talked, shopped, slept, talked, swam, showered in peach, and talked. Not necessarily in that order.
It was [...]

…his two front teeth is for his other tooth to fall out. For months now, PJ has been walking around with 2 extra, bottom, front teeth. I guess he takes such good care of them, they don’t want to leave–even when their replacements have already made their appearance (and then some).
Well, last night, Patrick convinced [...]

Earlier this week we had a bit of an Indian summer on the Muggy Mid-Atlantic. Seeing as it was probably the last bit of extended good weather for the year, we made the most of it. The other day after school, we headed to a local apple orchard/pumpkin farm/petting zoo/all-around-fun-place. The kids spent 3 hours [...]

Falling down, falling down,
Autumn leaves are falling down,
Red, Yellow, Brown.
Rake them up as they fall down,
They fall down, they fall down,
Rake them up as they fall down,
Yay, it’s autumn!
Jump in them as they fall down,
They fall down, they fall down,
Jump in them as they fall down,
Yay, it’s autumn!

I thought this would such the perfect opportunity [...]

I have 4 words for you…
Parmesan & Basil Wheat Thins.
I only wish I had figured out about these 3 months ago when the tomatoes were pouring in faster than the heat and humidity. When you taste one, your mouth screams, “Pair me with fresh tomato, basil, and tomato. And maybe some mozarella.”
And when you do [...]

Not-Me-Monday is a blog carnival started by MckMama. Hop over to her blog to see what others have NOT done this week.
I did NOT eat two plain taco shells that have been sitting on my counter since taco night last week just so I wouldn’t have to find them a “home” or stare at [...]

October’s theme is love stories. I have some favorites of our kids that tell such a great story of bonding and love and acceptance and little rivalry to speak of. But I also wanted to debut some that you all haven’t seen…
Weddings are obvious love stories. I picked one of the father and the bride [...]
