Leaving Monday October 29th

This is my favorite time of the year & what better news than knowing we're going to meet this little boy somewhere across the world...i have a feeling that after this trip i might know a bit more about how other people live..i've never been outside of USA before. So it's 1:50am...couldn't sleep of course..so i'm working on stuff & cleaning & doing the little things that are hard to get done with thomas around. I'll have 2 boys in the coming months if all goes well & it's a strange thought that it will be instant. This child that we've thought of, dreamed of & have done so much to achieve our goals will (God willing) finally show up here & then it will be a new kind of life - i'll be having my second baby too like so many of my wonderful friends, but he'll already be 2 years old probably!

We rent this house in Saratoga built in 1928...it's got that old country feel to it & it makes me want to have lots of babies for some reason. There's a good spirit here & all around..it's near the mountains, trees all around...a big field across the street to run around in & play. It smells wonderful & i enjoy spending each season here. It's a wonderful place for Thomas & I to be during the day when Greg's at work. Lots to do, lots of neighbors to play with - especially the Hess family next door. There's a little path connecing our front yards that THomas & his buddy Ryan use to get to each other's houses. I look forward to having another little boy join us so he can enjoy the things that we do. I've come to see how adults have the power to change a childs life by giving him a meaningful childhood full of love & exploration & guidance. Looking forward to the new little guy.
