You're Going To Laugh

(And look at the end for a surprise give away).
We were so excited that these wonderful friends were coming to visit us.  Steve got in late Friday night, and after a celebration last night for our anniversary here at home, we got the house ready for company.  The outdoor was picked up, supper was in the slow cooker, windows looked nice, and I was feeling pretty darn good as I looked around.  Steve ran to town for groceries and  I shot an email to Shauna to see when they would be here.
Guess what...they want be here till the first week of February.  LOL  I’m not sure that I can keep the house clean that long.  YES, IT WAS ME that got the dates messed up and I think that I can still claim post adoption dis - order on my part, don’t you think so?
 (He is so cute, isn’t he?)
(sorry, it’s backwards cuz I was using my computer camera)
And here is a great give away.  I read A Heart For Freedom on the way to China and really was touched by the story.  So I am going to give a book away to a lucky person.  Just leave a comment here, and we will choose one in the next few days.  And thank you all again for your support.

  9. You completely get a green light for post-adoption brain! :) I hope you had a relaxing evening and enjoyed your clean house. Maybe that was just a blessing in disguise. :) See you soon! [and if your house is messy then I will feel at home!]

  11. Oh my word, that is hilarious! BUT, it's WAY better than having your company show up a month EARLIER than you had in your head, right? :) Now you can enjoy your clean house for a little while.

    That book looks great!

  12. I have really enjoyed your blog. I especially enjoy that you are real...and don't hide how hard it can be to parent - adopted or bio kids. It helps me to read the experiences of other moms.

  20. I would love to read that book on OUR trip to Chin@! We are waiting on our TA and Fei said it is looking like we have to wait and go with the group that leaves on the 24th of Feb. (because of CNY) That is soon, but not soon enough! Loved following your journey and love it that another large family is adopted 2! May God continue to pour down His blessings on you!
