Brothers

I spent a little time today doing something I haven't got to do in a long time! Looking at blogs!! It was nice to catch up and see what's been going on! There are a few families that are in process and having a hard time with some major snags. I hate it for them and hope that God provides a miracle. I know that the process can be time consuming and rough. It truly is a huge emotional roller coaster. Praying for those families. It was also nice to see some friends' blogs that have brought home their children and to just see what's going on in everyone's lives in general!

As for us, we had a wonderful 4th of July! We caught the parade and then put the boys down for naps and watched "We Bought a Zoo". It was pretty good! We went to worship and enjoyed food and fellowship with our church family. David ended up feeling sick so we didn't stay for singing but went home to let him sleep for a couple of hours. Nati, Cole, and I lit a few fireworks. The big hit for them was throwing "snap pops". Nati was so trilled about the fireworks that David drove us to watch the big show. Cole is one so I wasn't sure how'd he'd do. But he just sat and watched until one particularly pretty firework burst in the sky--- he cheered and clapped. It was so cute! 236 years for America! I'm hoping we stay "One Nation Under God" and have many more years to come!

One the adoption front: I love having two boys and we are all excited for a girl/sibling group. Nati picks things out at the store all of the time for his sister/s (on his own might I add). We'll be shopping and he'll say something like "I like this cereal, do you think we can get it for my sister too?" Or he'll find something really pink and girly and say "I think my sister would like this, let's get it for her". Since we have asked for a wide array of ages I have been saying "no". He's so trilled about a sister/siblings and we really try hard not to say too much too often about her/them b/c it'll most likely be at least a couple of years before we know about her/them or until they/she's home. Still, we are all excited and can't wait! We are enjoying our time as a family right now. Just the four of us. I love the three guys in my life! I'm so lucky in love!
