Last week I decided to take advantage of a long weekend and slip home to see my family. While I was there I came down with a horrendous bug that has rendered me useless for the last couple of days. If that wasn't bad enough Mother Nature deposited too much of my least-favorite percipitation...snow. So I extended my stay well past MLK day and just returned today.
But I had several opportunities for some fun before the bug hit me!
I was able to meet up with Deanne for a yummy lunch on Sunday. It was great to finally meet this ball of energy in person! It's funny to me how many new people my adoption journey has led me to. Aimee and Brynly were able to join us, for a great Italian feast which ended with a chocolate lava cake! Now that was both fun and delicious!
I was also able to spend some time with my dear friends Jonathan and Leisa as well as their boys Jacob and Caleb. Jacob recently mailed me some artwork that was a picture of me and Jacinda coming home from Ethiopia. He is 9 and this was a big step, since he has spent most of my adoption process explaining to his mom that he can't understand why I am not adopting a boy. (Maybe next time, Jacob!)
My sister-in-law Erin and I spent a lot of time bonding this week. She is a lot of fun to be around! Who knew the little sister I had always dreamed of would come from my "pesky" little brother? And of course there was tons of time spent with Miss Leah Faith! I never ceased to be amazed at how this tiny little ball of energy commands a room. Our family has truly been blessed!
And the last thing I discovered is that if you are going to get sick...it's really nice to be with your mom even when you are 37 years old!

Cute! I am 37 now and will still be in a few weeks. A few weeks after that I will be 38. You on the other hand will be 37 until next October. LOL!
