Posts have been a little slow lately (I know my reader(s) are hungry for my constant news… NOT!).
Between homeschool and watching a little boy (2 y\/o) now during the days there has been minimal time to breathe around here. (My last day watching him was today). We just got off of a Discipleship Now weekend with the youth group. I think all enjoyed it. And now comes the usual exhaustion of a completed busy weekend.<\/p>\n
I’ve found myself some time to reflect amid prepping the “new family member” room as we are finishing our last few pieces of adoption paperwork. While I feel like the phrase, “finishing our last few pieces of paperwork” is a lie, it feels nice to say likewise. =) There’s always just one more. But that paper takes on another meaning when it brings you that much closer to your new family member.<\/p>\n
We did our child survey, identifying all the traits we would or would nit consider tonight. Matt joked that filling out the paperwork during Sunday Night football may have been a mistake.
Me: “Will we consider a child who has been convicted of murder?”
Matt: “YEAH!!! GO, GO, GO!!!!”
Me: “Will we consider a child with the characteristics of honesty?”
Matt: “Man!!! No way!!! What was that?!?!”<\/p>\n
=)<\/p>\n
I’m looking forward to spending an evening out of the house with no kids (say what?!) with Amanda tomorrow night. I feel like it’s been dark ages since we’ve sat down. And a good cup of hot chocolate at a bookstore is in order for sure. Don’t you love how a good Christ-centered conversation leaves you marveling at how quickly the time has passed?<\/p>\n
Matt’s playing some war video game. I’m sure he loves that I keep asking questions during his relaxing time blowing up of “the enemy forces”. It’s a boy thing, I tell myself. Girls aren’t supposed to understand. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
So that’s how it’s been lately. A little busy, with laundry on the side. And the joy of lazy Sunday afternoon naps and good husband-snuggles during this wonderful football season.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Looking forward to returning to a less-busy schedule (after the photo shoot, vet appointment, house-cleanup, and girls night out scheduled for tomorrow of course-hehe).<\/p>\n
Some errands left to before our final safety audit in this adoption process (lock box, smoke detectors, and a convertible car seat to buy). I’m putting primer paint on my Christmas list. I figure I’ll try to get that room painted white and then when we meet\/make the matching conference on a child we can ask them what color they’d like their room. Just trying to think of ways to make the room theirs and make them feel welcome.<\/p>\n
sigh<\/i>… alright, that’s all for tonight. Thanks for reading my randoms. =)<\/p>\n
Happy Sunday night to all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
