| Description: | Our process of preparing for adoption, traveling overseas for 7 weeks, preparing and caring for our 2 toddlers back home, and then finally bringing home our children are all here in journal form. The after is even more fun, though, as our children continue to grow, learn, and become the people that they have the potential to be. We dealt with a terminal diagnosis, a high risk surgery (or two), and plenty of other learning opportunities. This blog is now about our journey as a family, through the good stuff and the bad stuff. Lots of photos, stories, and fun activities. I also blog to bring advocacy to special needs adoption and Down syndrome. In the end-- kids are kids... no matter how 'scary' the words to describe them may sound. |

ahhh!
On our trip we used a black garbage bag for our dirty clothes. Today I've been dumping it a load at a time into the washing machine. I made it through 2 loads and as I put the 3rd load into the dryer I noticed... ick.One of Emma's diapers made it into the washing machine!!!!!!!!!Not just any diaper. No, this is Emma's diaper. You know, the ones with a super capacity to hold pee. The ones that are made to wear overnight (tho she wears them in the daytime and we add a booster pad in the nighttime). The ones that expand to three times their size. Yep, those.And

We're Home!
We had such a great time!!I have to say, we had our hesitations about bringing our family of 7 into the home of another family of 7. BIG ones. Especially, when we've never met a majority of their family (just Shelley)! But Shelley and Robert both are such sweet and easygoing people with HUGE hearts, and their children opened right up as well :)I'm afraid Kristopher and Zoe might have a little something going on... They are LOL! And Kristopher asked at dinner this evening whether he could marry someone from a different state. I said yes, why? He said he's thinking he'd like to marry Zoe. I told him that would be wonderful, but he has a looooong t

Dinner for $2.79?
Tonight we got a large stuffed pizza, meat lover's (I think) with 8 pieces of boneless mild wings for $2.79. Unintentionally.Knowing that I needed still to pack clothes for 6 people, clean out the van, and get the house under some sort of order not to mention gathering activities for the car, 2 playpens, etc... tonight, I asked Mike if he'd bring home dinner if I ordered it around the time he gets off work. I got online at 4:30 and found a coupon in my email. Around 12:30 today they sent me an 'online coupon' for $5 off any $15 order placed online. Sounds good... So I put in a large stuffed crust pizza- half cheese, half Hawaiian. The total? $10. Because there'
