Friday, March 27th, 2009A while back my friend Tiffany posted a interview on her blog and asked if anyone wanted to be interviewed. It sounded like a fun idea so I let her interview me. Here are her questions and my response to them. 1. You recently traveled to Ethopia to complete the final steps to adopt your [...]
Considerate
Friday, March 27th, 2009“Mom I know you are busy computering. Can you use this computer to make my computer on LittlestPetShop.com so I can play with Ladybuggy?” ~ Madeline She loves the fact that I can control the desktop computer from the laptop. It is like magic to her. She ran in to watch me do my “magic.” [...]

Rescuing another
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009Today my Brother called and texted me a photo of a little kitten in need of a home. I forwarded the text to Bill saying that Annie wants to have her fully expecting him to say “no.” He surprised us all and said “sure.” So my brother brought her by. She is such a cutie. [...]
Paul’s birthdate
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009Before all of this happened I was completely laissez-faire about the date that was randomly given to Paul as his birthdate. While I have felt that he is most likely a couple of months older I really didn’t worry about it. The only thing it really affected was the fact that he would have to [...]
Paul’s condition
Monday, March 23rd, 2009On our trip the doctor called to let us know that he needed to talk to us about Paul’s bloodwork. I instantly got worried and wanted to call back but Bill said we should just wait, that everything was fine. We decided to wait until we returned to call back. Today I took Paul in [...]
The last day
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009Each morning the children loved to open up the shades and say “Hello Seattle.” When they opened up the drape today they were surprised to find that fog was covering the city. They couldn’t see the space needle and were sad. We got up and headed down to the Top Pot for our coffee and [...]
Meeting friends and pouring rain
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009This morning we decided to venture out to the Top Pot coffee and donut shop. I wish we had heard about it before that day, although I am sure it is good that we didn’t, I fear I would consumed far too much of their goodness. The coffee was amazing, I haven’t had such great [...]
Science Museum
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009We took a lazy morning in the hotel today and hung out for a while. The kids are really enjoying the cable tv, and since it is vacation we are allowing them the indulgence. Later we headed out to get lunch and go to the Science Museum. The museum was a lot of fun and [...]
Space Needle
Saturday, March 21st, 2009Today was the day we were finally going to go up the space needle. The kids had been admiring it from our hotel room since we had arrived. They were so excited when we got there. I am not sure what they were expecting but Annie said, “Mom we aren’t on the very top of [...]
On a one hour tour
Thursday, March 19th, 2009We woke up to sunshine in Seattle. We were amazed and excited. The kids had been begging since we arrived to go to the swimming pool. They have been intrigued with the notion of an indoor pool since they heard about it. We decided that this morning was the big day. We got on our [...]
Which floor
Thursday, March 19th, 2009The kids have enjoyed being elevator operators. Each day one child is the button pusher for all elevators we encounter. Here is Kimberly pushing the 39th floor button. That is right we are all the way up on the 39th floor! We love it. Mimi has also acquired a new skill—she loves to hold the [...]
Water and Fish, oh my
Thursday, March 19th, 2009We got room service. No just kidding, Bill ran down to the McDonald’s across the street and he brought it up to us so the kids didn’t have to brave the cold! It was a rainy cold day so we decided an indoor adventure was the order of the day. We decided on the aquarium [...]
Our first view
Thursday, March 19th, 2009Upon arrival into Seattle we found out it had snowed over night. The thought of driving in snow gave Bill a sudden chill. Thankfully the snow was not sticking to the ground and had turned into rain. We picked up all our luggage and headed over to the rental car area. Got loaded up in [...]
The big plane ride
Thursday, March 19th, 2009We woke up bright and early at 5am got dressed and headed down to Sky Harbor airport to catch our flight to Seattle. The kids were giddy with excitement and had a hard time falling asleep the night before. Our wonderful neighbor works at the airlines and made sure all 10 piece of our luggage [...]
My One Regret
Saturday, March 14th, 2009I have many regrets, and I’m sure everyone does. The stupid things you do, you regret… if you have any sense, and if you don’t regret them, maybe you’re stupid. ~Katharine Hepburn In my life I have but one regret. It centers around a very special little girl that I never met. Because of my [...]

Make your own caption
