Nice Weekend

I started last weekend off with a awesome evening Friday. My dear cousin, Heather, came to visit. We had planned to grab some pizzas, get on the couch, watch some movies or something. Well as usual, my house is Grand Central Station on the weekends, so I'm glad we picked up more than one pizza. It was nice though. My brother and SIL came by with Levi. So she got to hold him for the first time. And we all really enjoyed the evening.
Next morning came early. Ryan, our nephew, stayed with us Friday night too, so that he could go Crabbin' with us in the morning. DH had to work Saturday so Charlie and I took the boys. As soon as we got there, had five strings in the water, bam, bam, bam!! They were biting. Those boys had a ball. Then it came. Nothing. Around 2pm it picked up again, but by then I was done. And when I say done I mean..... I forgot the sunscreen!!!! It was hot and sticky and the boys had lost interest. It was time to ride. I sure wish I had their energy. When we got home they jumped in the pool, the adults cleaned and steamed the crabs ( me, not included) and I crashed on the couch at 8pm!!!

Keeping busy sure does help with this wait. We have decided to do the pool thing this weekend. Hoping that the next one I 'll be doing some shopping for our Sophie!!!


The menu for this weekend is:


Grilled Chicken and Rabbit
Potatoed, chicken salad
Baked Beans
Pig Pickin' Cake


Since I'm working at half day Saturday the last three can be prepared ahead of time. That way I'm in the pool too instead of the Kitchen!!

NoT Much

Not a whole lot going on this week. Just taking it easy. Razz and I are kicking back so that I don't hit that toe again.

I've been thinking about the kinds of things I'd like to get for Sophie while we are in China. Pearls, Jade, a Chop with her name on it, butterfly hangings, the list goes on and on. I really hope we are able to do some shopping. We'll have to take our cue from Miss Sophie. The main focus is getting to know our new daughter. You kind of picture the way things will go in your mind. And yes I know it usually doesn't turn out quite like we imagine it. Some days, or really most days I am numb, but then this overwhelming amount of excitement takes over. It's July 24th, in just two months time, we could be on the way home with our little ones. Is it really happening? Could we be this close to the end of this journey? Could we be this close to the beginning of an even greater one? The numbness is starting to wear off!!
