This, That, and the Other

Boy, it feels like a long time since I sat down to write something. Or just sat down, for that matter! We're shifting into high gear now in hopes of fetching our beautiful baby girl in early July.

Oh, there is so much to do! There's the rearranging the boys bedroom and switching to bunks (by the way, when I was organizing our stuff last weekend I counted 7 different beds in this house and a total of 5 different types. Crazy!) There's preparing for baby, but also trying to not get too prepared in case our court date isn't successful: clothing, bottles, a new stroller / car seat, diapers, a name(!). There's planning for the trip we'd like to take to see a bit of Ethiopia before we get our baby and also planning for our boys while we're gone. And there's Yogi's birthday which we'll celebrate a few weeks after we return. We're going to rent ponies for an hour of rides in our own backyard. And then of course, all the usual stuff of life like my bottomless laundry pile, grocery shopping, and garden / yard work etc...It's a lot. I'm happy and excited and worried and overwhelmed. And really really tired since I haven't been sleeping well.
