Incommunicado

It has been quite a while since I last posted but to be honest I just have not felt much like blogging but I am back. I am sure your life has not been the same without me. (yeah, right) I also plan to start reading some blogs again but I don't want to get bogged down with blogs! I have stuff to do and I am starting to feel creative again.

I have decided to make this blog less about the ups and downs of adoption/infertility and more about the freedom we have in Christ to live life abundantly, regardless of our circumstances.

I would like to share with you some of the things that make me happy. If you know me at all, you know one of the things I love is a good project. I know this is very geeky, but I have an excel spreadsheet of all the projects I have lined up. I won't bore you with the entire list but here is a sampling:
  • Plant a container garden
  • Make curtains for the family room
  • Spruce up the home office, master bathroom and entry way
Here are some pictures of the garden we started. My Dad helped us create the river pebble patio. Dave's dad is going to help us with future plantings. So far we have yellow pear tomatoes, garden variety red tomatoes, zucchini. The romaine lettuce has not yet sprouted. And for herbs - mint, thyme, basil, oregano and parsley.

Ponderings that don't deserve a post of their own...

Never before have I been so sweaty, sticky, and stained and cared so little. On a sign in the ladies room at the US Consulate: Help keep our environment clean: Please keep your feet on the floor and not on the toilet seat. What the ...? My new diet and exercise plan - parenting twins. Hong Kong - ultra firm mattress, barely uncomfortable. Nanchang - surprisingly plush mattress, just right.  Guangzhou - what mattress? it really should be called a platform or plank.   Loving the people, marketing and salesmanship skills of the Chinese shop owners. I wonder if they have attended a John Maxwell seminar. He is popular here, you know. One would think that the country that built this thoroughly modern skyscraper , the second largest in the world, could come up with a way of making the tap water potable. Why are there so many Chinese people wandering around the hotel in their robes? Note to self - do not shake a baby bottle filled with very hot formula. Question:...

I really thought I would have time to blog everyday on this "once in a life time trip" but in reality, yesterday I did not even have time to brush my hair and I have yet to wash it since getting the twins on Sunday. So as I sit here on Tuesday evening I want to remember and record all that has transpired since the girls were first placed in our arms but I am sitting in a dark hotel since Abbi and Livi are asleep in their cribs just 10 feet away.  The near darkness make me want to crawl under the covers and fade into dream land. So, the remedy is going to be a bulleted list which I will try to expand on later. "Try" is the operative word here. Gotcha Day was traumatic for the girls but they soon calmed down and just eyed us with suspicion for the evening. Prior to getting the girls there was a two hour meeting to discuss feeding and caring for the babies and the itinerary. Monday was paperwork day. The first office was where the adoption became official. ...
