We spent Easter Weekend in Beverly Shores, Indiana–on lake Michigan. It was a weekend of relaxation and family togetherness. Minnow had a blast–despite not Easter Egg Hunting. Hope your Easter was great.


This is what Easter looked like. Gotta love lake effect snow….

As many of you know we are in the dossier prep phase of adoption number 2. We are requesting and infant girl. We received our dossier packet next week and it really doesn’t seem any less daunting that it did before. I know I shouldn’t complain as Ethiopia really has a pretty simple dossier. It is just frustrating having to acquire so many duplicate documents even though we just did them 13 months ago. I guess if I would have had more foresight I would have made sure that the notary who notarized our birth certificates and marriage license–that her commission didn’t expire until sometime in 2008. But I didn’t have that much foresight.
I am excited by the prospect that this time next year we could have our daughter home–or at least know who she is. This time around I am much more relaxed about the whole process. I don’t have the fire and urgency that I had the first time around. I am pretty sure that will all change once we have submitted our dossier and we are waiting. That I am not really looking forward to–as many of you will remember, I am absolutely the worst waiter in the history of waiting. No really, I am. Check my early archives if you do not believe me.
Here we go again….

Seven Years Ago today I became Mrs. Hubby. I have loved every minute of our marriage. You are so much more than just a husband. You are my best friend, my rock. You keep me honest and your have helped me find myself. You have always encouraged me to be true to myself. You have loved me more than I thought I could be loved. I love you hubby. Here’s to many, many more years of bliss.
