I thought I'd get us some more since it's been pretty lately. Anyone have any new news?

For me we just found out Mia won't be leaving us as soon as we thought so were pretty happy about that. We are going to enjoy the next few months with her, you wouldn't imagine the weight that's been lifted off my shoulders.

What about Easter, anyone have any plans? Were just getting together at my moms and having a family barbecue and a little easter egg hunt for the kiddos.

Hi Ruby,
Good idea.

Sorry I was MIA for a couple of days but I discovered I'll have an internet connection at the ebach so I'll be able to check in from there for now on.

I am so happy to hear Mia will get to stay with you for a little while longer. I hope this turns into a permanent stay. I will send lots of prayers your way!!!

This year we are doing things a little different for Easter. Saturday we will have Easter dinner with my mom-mom(grandma), cousin her son and my aunt. Then on Sunday we will have dinner with our best friends and their girls. So lots and lots of ham for us. I LOVE HAM!!! We may even do an egg hunt, I'll have to see how much I can prepare today.

ok girls, so I am kinda chatting with myself but in my defense I have been in a house with no tv for three days and not much contact with anything but a paint brush for those days so I have a lot to say now...

I am sitting on the couch at 10:00am eating a piece of chocolate cake. AHH!! So not healthy BUT oh so good!! I really should be cleaning, laundry, packing but I just need to decompress a little. YKWIM?

So i talked to our director about travel she thinks June now and so now I'm saying July for travel. I have been dreaming about the baby every night. it is so odd I havbe always had dreams about being a mom but in the dreams I was always searching for the baby, well now I actually see the baby in the dreams and hold the baby and all that stuff and the really odd part is the baby is Silas, looks just like him. (I never dream about people in my life currently and when i do that person always looks like someone else) I think we have completely finished registering for the baby, just adding a few things here and there. WOW that was so tiring, I thought to myself ok this is not what I thought it would.

So I got three rooms painted and i thought I would share pictures with you all. The couch is actually green even though it looks almost tan in the picture.

Here is the kitchen from the living room

Here is another angle for the kitchen with better light


And here is one of the spare rooms upstairs


Ok, I think I'm done talking to myself. Somebody save me from rambling you all to death. hahaha

I finished my cake and now I really must get my tail in gear!

K, I it you did a good job so enjoy your piece of cake!

June or July, it'll be here before you know it. I'm so happy I can't wait to see a pic. of you and L holding baby Silas.

And yes please send me all your prayers, the more the better. Were just so happy right now that even if it turns out that we can't keep Mia I'm just so happy that we gave her the best start in life and what's important is the now. I can't & I won't spend my time worrying about what the ifs, I've realized I need to start enjoying the time we have together right now.
