3:08 AM

Our conversation very early this morning:

Brynn: MamaDaddyDaddyMama (Yep, all one word.)
Kevin: Yeshoney (Again, one word since we were in a deep slumber)
Brynn: Can I come in for a hug?

Now, how do you say no to that even if it is at 3 AM?

Love Without Boundaries 2007 Video

If anyone if ever wondering what to get me for Christmas, all they need to do is watch this video and send a donation to LWB on my behalf. What better gift could there be?

Brynn's snowman

Kevin and Brynn made a snowman on Friday. Isn't it cute?

Adoption Presentation

Someone on one of my Groups put this together. This song gets me every time I hear it.

I'm a sheep. Baa.

That is what Brynn said when I asked what she was going to be in her school's Christmas program. And it was said with very little enthusiasm. But, she did so well being a sheep and she was also the purple bell in the Preschool Bell Choir. Proud Mommy moment. Kudos to Aunt Norma. She made the ears for our sheepy.

Out my window

This is what is happening today outside. My office is in a residential area. All the houses around us are where the resident doctors from the hospital live. We look out our window all the time to see what the kids are doing. Today, they are playing in the snow. See them in the left hand part of the picture? This mom lets her kids go out in the snow, play in mud puddles and swing high in a swing. I love her carefree spirit.

We are expecting between 3 and 5 inches today. Brynn has already been sled riding with her Daddy today. She loved it!!

Holy Crap!

I just thought I would play around on some of the Adoption Referral Forecasters today. I really shouldn't have done this. This is what one had to say:

Our prediction for LID 2006-08-30
Our best guess - a weighted average of recent CCAA velocities, guessing that CCAA will perform about as well in the future as they are performing now, but might return to previous trends: 2010-04-12

That's our best guess for when you might receive your referral. Just at a guess, we can suppose that the CCAA either speeds up or slows down significantly, and show you those dates. If they speed up: 2009-01-16. And if they slow down: 2012-09-02.

Since China generally sends out referrals in a batch about once per month, your referral date could easily vary +/- one month depending on whether you just get included or just get missed in a particular batch.


Yes, you read that right. They are predicting our referral will come April 12, 2010. That isn't even funny.
