Right now my emotions are all out of whack too. I feel bad for any person who has looked in me in the eyes the past couple of days and said, “How are you doing?” For some reason that question is bringing me to tears. It is hard to explain how we are doing. We are filled with such joy and excitement, nervousness and anxiety, uncertainty and determination etc… So if you see us this week you may want to say, “Hey, what’s up?” if you don’t want to see me cry yet again. (o:
We are working on packing lists, getting as much squared away with work as possible, and spending time with our friends and family. We can barely sleep at night which is actually helping to get a lot done. Now we just have to hope that we don’t wear our bodies down and get sick.
I thought I would share three of the many proud parent moments from the weekend. 1) Madison had her Dazzler Showcase in which she danced her tap and hip-hop routines with her groups. She did a great job. 2) Brady had his solar system artwork selected to be displayed at the local art center (see photo). 3) On Saturday, when I came out of my bedroom from getting ready for the day, Brady and Madison were lounging on the couch reading!!! Not playing a video game, or the computer, or watching tv, or playing with legos or stuffed animals, or fighting with each other – but reading! I loved it! (see photo)

Congratulations and best wishes! Our youngest still talks (after 9 months) about her detsky dom mommas at Artyem. She loved them very much which made us feel good about her stay there. God Bless -
Just found your blog from Joel and Clarion's blog link. We adopted our daughter from Vlad through CHI last Feb/March. We have just finished celebrating our 1 year Gotcha anniversary. So glad that you have a court date and are traveling soon to bring Blake home. Looking forward to following your journey back to Vlad!!
