Kaitlin is now 1 day overdue! I know it doesn't seem like much but for someone who had a baby- yes- Kaitlin- who went way overdue you really, truly, start to feel that you will be pregnant forever. So, I can sympathize with her.
That said, having gone through international adoption and not knowing if or when you will get a child teaches one big patience! So, my heart is with her I will be patient for her and we will greet that little guy very soon.

Miracles happen! If you doubt this is so, read this..
The family who is in Kaz, presented with twin girls (not the single child they had financially planned 3 years for and consequently did not have the $13,000.00 addtional dollars they would need within 12 days) have received in donations from the vast network in the adoption community, family, and friends- $12,000.00 in 12 HOURS!
Having been in Kaz without any money, etc. I know the helpless feeling one has when one is in a very urgent situation.
This family now has the security of knowing they can adopt these 2 girls and can relax and focus on the bonding period of 2 weeks with them.
Thank-you to all who have donated, prayed, and passed the word!

"Out of the mouths of babes"
Yesterday, we (Sasha, Masha and myself) had to come back into town after the bus dropped the kids off at home. There was about 2 inches of snow. They wanted to play real bad! Sadly, we were not going to be home until after dark.
So, the conversation goes something like this:
S: Oh, I want to play in the snow so bad!
Me: Well, you better pray the snow is still there tomorrow
(a minute or so passes)
Me: "Sasha,
M: Mama, shh, Sasha's praying.
They just make me smile all the time!

Please Read- Urgent: a family in Kaz needs your help!
An Adoptive Family Needs Our Help
by Lori Anderson-Printy on Thursday, November 4, 2010 at 4:32pm
FORGIVE ME I ONLY ASK BECAUSE OF THE URGENCY OF THE SITUATION....
The Gobble's a family well know in the Kaz adoption community are in Kaz right now trying to adopt. It took them more than three years to get to Kaz and when they finally got there they waited another two weeks before finally being able to go to the baby house . Yesterday they finally met a sibling set-twin girls! They are three and half years old wth some medical issues and the family is in love.
The problem? The Gobble's fundraised for years to adopt just one child and must now figure out how to raise an additional $9,000 by the time they finish the official bonding period in less than 2 weeks. If they are unable to raise the additional money in the next 12 days they will not be permitted to adopted these girls.

Happy winter!!
Last night and today we have been dumped on with snow. Wet and abundant snow. I stayed home with the kids as no one was available to watch them and Dave had a shoot scheduled.
We had a terrific day. We played outside. The kids like to slide down the 5 steps on the back deck on a small sled. That kept them busy for quite a while. We built a small snowman. It seemed easier when I was much younger (and shorter). Later we made and decorated Christmas cookies. What a blast! There was icing everywhere.

Today I post for my sweet, lovely, and wonderful daughter Kaitlin.
In August she got married (still waiting to get photos to post). She married a terrific man- Joey.
They are doing very well and just bought a house for which I am very proud of her being able to do. She was my baby and I would drop everything to run to her if any slight thing was wrong. But tonight I had to hold myself back and let her husband do what I felt was my right and responsiblity for so long. We spent a terrific evening at the mall with the kids and Joey pulled up just as I was dropping her off. We chated a minute, then I went home. A few minutes after I got home she called in tears. After I left, they were walking up to the house and were surprised by two unfamiliar dogs. One of them had literally ripped off the front of one of her rabbit cages and had killed her rabbit and she had to see it. They got the dogs tied up, called the police and had the dogs taken away. She has one other rabbit who was not harmed and now worries about that one. Kaitlin is the most sensitive person I know, is a huge advocate of all animals (she even goes to the animal shelter and walks and visits dogs there), so I know how hard this was for her. All I wanted to do was run back into town and be there for her, but I bit my tongue and assured myself that Joey would do it (and I thank God he was there)- take care of her - which is no longer my God given right.
So, Kaitlin , my arms are holding you tight in my heart. I hope you can feel it in yours.
Love,
Mom
