Busy at home
Today I never got a shower. Didn’t get a lick of housework done. Had, short of maybe 30 minutes to pray, zero time to be alone from 5:30 a.m. until now, 10:30 p.m. --- yet it was a wonderful, awesome day. What made it that way? My girls. I love being with them and love to see their friendship blossom.
Today we attended a mom’s program at church that just fed my soul and inspired me to be a better mom. The rest of the day was pretty routine – lunch, nap, homework, bath… and a few out-of-the ordinary things. We made cookies together. We gave our cookies away to neighbors. We splashed in puddles (actually they splashed, I laughed). We looked at photo albums – their request – Hua Hua’s adoption book, Rachel’s adoption book and mommy and daddy’s wedding album. They cracked up at the wedding picture of daddy and mommy feeding each other cake. We had a great time!
I’m afraid I haven’t been blogging much lately because life has been so busy. We had to make a decision about kindergarten, and after visiting several schools, talking to many people, and praying, praying, praying, we felt led to enter Hua Hua in our neighborhood school for next year. Our other major time consuming activity is getting ready to leave for florida in less than a week. We’ll visit Dan’s family there, making some stops with my brother and his family on the way down and friends we adopted both children with on the way back. We are very excited but there are so many details and, well, just getting thru the week is often more than I can handle! LOL!!
Wendy, I'm loving reading your blog again. I love seeing the girls be so happy as sisters. I love reading your joy in being their mom--with or without showers or time to be alone. :-)
