Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Truly hated this day as a teenager, but as a mom, I must say the construction paper hearts and cards are better than 1 million roses! B made me a sweet little valentine in preschool that is absolutely adorable and brought tears to my eyes. Nothing like a preschool valentine to warm your heart!

Things on the adoption front are really slow. We are just a few short weeks from hitting our "window" in the 6-9 month wait. There have been very few referrals in the last few weeks and the waiting families are getting cranky. It really feels like we might not have her in our arms until late Aug or September. Never thought it would be that long when we started this journey. I guess it is all part of the unknown. I had a crazy dream that we were flying to Ethiopia to pick her up, but we had no referral, and I hadn't packed anything for her. Of course given the chance to just hop on a plane and go is pretty appealing!

It is COLD in MN again. Heading back into the single digits again today and tomorrow. I am holding out for March....it is just around the corner...and March means Daffodils, Girl Scout cookies and the Dairy Queen opens for the season....so here's to March getting here quick!

Happy valentines one and all and to any forum friends reading this....may VD day bring a FLOOD of referrals!
