The Things I Might Have Said...

I haven't been blogging this month.  Life has been oh-so-crazy, and my mind has been going in a million different directions.  (Packing for 29 days, 4 climates, and 5 people is really not easy.)  If I had taken time to post, there are many things I might have said.

I might have said that Li'l Miss created an adorably cute mini-version of our family using her math manipulatives.


Yup. that's us.  Li'l Miss, Li'l Man, Li'l Dude, Mommy, and Daddy.

I might have said that we got the awesome opportunity to have dinner with a sweetie from Li'l Man's orphanage and his wonderful family.


This adorable little guy used to sleep two cribs over from our Li'l Man, and they're less than two weeks apart in age.  I can't wait for our next dinner date, when both boys will be running around together!

I might have said that we went to the fair (yes, AGAIN) with one of my bestest buddies from college and that our little cowgirls had a blast together.



I might have said that we went camping with our good friends, and that we survived a whole weekend with three girlies in the wilderness woods.


I might have said that Li'l Miss is suddenly 4 going on 14 and that she had a blast at her friend's Fancy Nancy party.


(Yup, that'd be what she does now when I ask her to pose.)

But...I didn't say any of those things.  All of those posts got lost amidst the floor-scrubbing, list-making, Target-raiding, goodbye-saying, cookbook-alphabetizing craziness that comes with getting ready to fly across the ocean and meet two members of your family for the first time ever.

Although I didn't take time to say those things, there is one thing I had to stop and say.


We're outta' here!!!  We'll be in California this afternoon and Beijing next Wednesday!

  2. So, so happy that your time has finally come. I can't wait to hear that those boys are finally in your arms, right where they belong.

  3. That's so stinking exciting. I want to go out and scream at the top of my lungs. However, we live around many retired individuals that are home. So, I'll restrain myself to sending a shout out to heaven instead. :)

  4. Thanks, ladies! I want to scream at the top of my lungs, too. There were times I thought this day would never come, and I am SO excited that it's finally here. Can't wait to hold our boys. :)
