7 Months and Other Stuff



It's been a full month since I've blogged and my 7 month LID has crept up on me! It's funny how adoption time is much slower than real life time. I can't believe that it's almost the end of the school year (yay, because I'm getting tired, and my classroom is so hot that the children are melting) and that the summer is just around the corner. Where is my Jordyn? I'm a smidgen closer today, which is a good thing.

I've been super busy with TONS of theatre, and had a successful opening night last night. The other show that I was involved with is finally over, and I'm having a bit of post show withdrawl from that one. Anyway, onward to the next run!

I was so happy to meet other waiting (and present) moms at our fabulous dinner, where we had 23 moms and 3 gorgeous babies there. I had a great time and made some new friends. Always nice to meet others in the adoption world! I'm looking forward to the next dinner in July.

One surprise came in the mail the other day -- a gift from my secret pal! It's not 'secret pal' time, so this was a true surprise and I love it!



The other gift was a sticker which says "Adopting from China....It's like an elephant pregnancy...Only more paperwork. (...and a beautiful present at the end!)
Thanks SP -- I love my new stuff!

Congrats on #7!!

I know what you mean about the kids melting, sometimes I think I'm melting faster. (My patience that is)

I LOVE the hat and the sticker! Very cool secret pal gifts!

Hey Cari,
I have missed your posts. Glad to see that you are back. I noticed from Facebook that we have a mutual friend (Dave Lapsley!) Hope that the school year comes quickly without too much hot weather!

Happy 7! --- Love the hat and the saying-- too true!
