fun stuff

S - the amazing guitar player - who can decide he likes a song and learn it in one night. E- the amazing athlete - who recently competed in her first triathlon and showed everyone that you truly can learn to ride a bike in a week.


and not wreck AND get second in your age category!

And Baby A - who has totally embraced fine country dining. Ribs are now a favorite food along with macaroni and cheese and bananas.

shucks...

Well - this weekend marks the 2 month mark of waiting for passport - seems so crazy that a "space" in the wrong place could be causing all this delay - but it is true. A space and a capital letter in the wrong place. Shucks.
This could be a fun weekend though - E & S are both home! Grandma S is out of the hospital!
Baby girl is healthy for the 2nd week in a row and not taking the strongest antibiotic known to man 4 times a day!

E is ready for her triathlon....and we are looking forward to catching glimpses of her as she speeds by....I am especially looking forward to watching the bike ride portion!
S was in a photo shoot today for an ad for a jewelry store....can't wait to see the finished product - I was driving him crazy asking him a million questions about poses and lighting!

Right now I am going to go to bed and dream of a curly headed little boy running and playing on our farm....that is until a darling little wavy haired girl wakes me from my dream with a very loud yelling - usually around 2AM.


good night all! K

"I will gather you...I will bring you home..."




Hard to stay strong - hard to wait - hard to be patient....when it seems like all you have done for 3 years is continue to strive for patience (and it ain't my virtue!) I just get plain mad. But then, that does me no good...and I just get upset over something completely out of our control. My heart just aches though - when I think that this little man could have...should have...been home at Christmas...last year!


But then...I realize that our little A is home....and settled...and the timing will be perfect...to bring her brother home...so I need to quit being angry...and just be OK.


Little A is amazing. E is amazing. S is amazing. And our little man A is amazing - and I CANNOT WAIT TO MEET HIM! I bought him shoes (size 7) and yummy delicious hair stuff today! We are ready.

Passport anyone?


Well it printed - with a spelling error - so we wait some more. We pray they fix it next week...so we can get this show on the road.

E has been accepted into the pre-med program at the school she chose - so we will celebrate this weekend! Exciting times for sure!

Hay is almost baled - should finish this evening...summer seems to have arrived with hot sticky days...so we think we will escape to the lake tomorrow and relax!
Happy weekend to everyone! K
