Spring Break in Steamboat Springs, CO

Well, we hit a new resort in Colorado to test out the skiing there for 5 days over spring break. The snow was fantastic....like powdered sugar...and the skiing, phenomenal. The weather was not, however. It was pretty foggy so we didn't get to see all the spectacular views of the Rockies that we usually do while skiing here. The last day the sun did come out so we saw some of the vista. It was breathtaking.

Liam's 9th birthday!

Liam turned 9 on March 20th and we had a really fun day celebrating. The boys had started their spring break from school so had the day off. Liam's best friends, Seung Yeop and Evan, came over for lunch and then we had a swim party at the local pool for 14 other friends.

You Might Be Adopting From China If...

I read this on a blog by another family adopting from China and had to share:
Let's just say we are not the only ones stuck in this horrendous wait!


~You know that I-600 & I-171 aren't highways...
~You've been expecting a baby for over 3 years...
~You understand that it's 2006 in some parts of the world...
~You've "paid for" 3 citizenships, but never brought anyone into the U.S...
~You know that waiting for China has nothing to do with Dillards or dishes...
~Your homestudy is followed by a number (i.e. #3 or #4)...
~You never know how many days next month will have...
~You've been fingerprinted four times, but never committed a crime...
~You own new clothing in 3 little sizes for all 4 seasons (because you don'tknow when or how big)...
~You're more interested in what will happen in March 2006 than in March 2009...
~You know people who understand when you talk about 2 day months & 5 day months...
~Your due date hasn't changed by days, but by years...
~You know who the Rumor Queen is ... AND ... you don't know who she is...
~You know that forecast doesn't have anything to do with the weather...
~You've waited so long, they re-checked your fingerprints to see if they changed...
~Trying to understand why they're printing you again, you study your own fingerprints and wonder if fingerprints grow wrinkles...
~When you speak of "that time of month" you're talking about CCAA updates & referrals...

And finally...You might be adopting from China if you love someone you've never met with all your heart!

It's a Beautiful Day!

...To fly kites!
Gorgeous, warm spring day today without a cloud in the sky...nothing new for Colorado, but we took advantage and flew kites at our neighborhood park. Wish we had our little girl with us but .... one day, hopefully in the near future!!!
