Surprise?

Swans a swimming, dwarfs, days of the week, our family.

What do all these things have in common?

That's right!!!  The number 7!!

After a year of stops and starts, ups and downs, country changes and craziness.  We are finally able to say with some certainty that the number of kids in this family will be growing by 1!

Our application has been approved!  And our social worker will be here next Thursday to decide if we are fit to add another little one to our family.



We are heading to China this time to find our newest little nut job.

I guess I should be more clear.  Brian is going to China. I am going to stay home and pout take care the mounds of stuff and old, no longer shiny new, still semi-cute, kids here.

Which is totally fine.

No, really.

 Seriously, I mean it.

Who would want to go to China and see their new baby for the first time.

 Much better to wait 2 weeks.

It's fine.

Anyway, moving on.

I would be lying if I said that I am not totally EXCITED (not about the paperwork)!!!  I really thought after the last year that we might just be done.

But hey, where is the fun in that???!!!

I can't wait to see who we have in store for us!!

'til next time,
