(I never got a chance to send our 2011 Christmas Cards, I thought I would share the card with everyone here so all their fun was not in vain!)
Happy New Year!!! I am not sure I have ever been so happy to see a year gone as I am 2011. It will not take much for 2012 to be a better year but I am going to make a few goals to help me along this year! I figure the best way to make me try to reach them is to make them public. So here we go&#8230;
1. Last year a blogger I admire did 365 Love Letters to her daughter. I want to do the same for BOTH my children this year only because it is leap year it will be 366 Love Letters. This is a challenge for me in a few ways. The rules I am giving ...]]></description>

You have all heard that song with the line, sometimes we thank God for unanswered prayers, well I am today! In case you missed it Little Man and Little Princess did not get into the “dream” preschool. At first I was devastated, but then in less than a few hours, I found our real dream preschool. See I have wanted to home school for some time, I have taken quite a bit of flack for that from some but if you know me that will do nothing but push me more towards the goal of home schooling. The first “dream” preschool was a magnet school and the kids would have been there through high school with a prayer of any further children also attending that preschool. Looking back I am not sure what makes that school so great…I just thought it was.
The second dream school, it is a co-op school. ...]]></description>

										Seven and a half weeks ago I thought today would never come, three weeks ago I started to wonder how they were going to get the cast off safely (I was worried about my daughter here people…she did not need another injury on top of the one she already has) and last night I was so excited for today I could not sleep.
I am not sure what I expected but the first stop for the day was cast removal for Little Princess. I started to plan for today the minute the Dr. said I could schedule the appointment. We bought Tangled ~ the combo pack ~ so we would have a digital copy for the iPad (if you know anyone with a 3D TV and bluray player let me know we have Tangled in 3D now); I started trying to think about things she would like to do without the ...]]></description>

										This month I decided that I was going to take the challenge offered by Willette and use it as an opportunity to improve my photography and see if I cannot become more adept at using my camera and amazing lens. I am going to try to do this class/project without using my children once as the subject for the homework even if they fit the type of homework assignment  
Today’s prompt is:
What inanimate object/thing/concept is something that you take for granted on a daily basis? What would someone who is not as fortunate as you are say about your “luck” to have such a thing in your life? Think about your blessings today – (don’t focus on people for this one…that will come later)…focus on opportunity/experience/something you have/do everyday that is an unforeseen blessing in your life.
There were photography tips as well as ways to try to photograph what ...]]></description>

										Where does the time go? Why does every day end and I look at my to do list and find it not even having a thing crossed off of it?
Today I looked back over the last two years, I remember the day two years ago so well for a million reasons. I remember how there was no sleep the night before and no naps when I needed them. We were headed for our first family pictures, we had only been a family for 5 short months. No one had napped and we were all running on the best shortest fuse possible, but it worked. We got some cute family pictures like this one:
&#160;

And we got devastating news…spent a portion of the following week away from home. I remember thinking at the time if I can make it through this I can make it through ANYTHING. Little Princess was not sleeping ...]]></description>

Aaron and I have been discussing our options lately to open our currently closed adoption. We have told a few people and constantly get the same questions ~ Why would you open an adoption with someone who cannot speak your language, has a different culture and of whom you are blissfully unaware? We have yet to come up with a perfect answer for the first two but the last one we will outright say is untrue, we are so aware of someone we have never met she is a topic of conversation here at least once a day, usually when one of the kids says or does something cute or shows a specific personality trait and we wonder.
Recently in one of my yahoo groups for those who have adopted from South Korea another parent asked about contact with the birth mother for his/her 4 year old child who has been ...]]></description>

(before the break)
Some days I just want to be a parent…just mama or mommy and not the lady someone in the corner is whispering about or someone else with more guts or less good sense, I am not sure which, is asking questions that are well just not in good taste in front of my children.
Last week, I was asked more than once “So you are the adoptive mother?” The first two times I was tired, hungry and VERY thirsty and had only just arrived at our final destination, I didn’t have it in me to be funny or say something I might later regret and just answered simply “Yes” but after I had some water, a little bit of food and an hour or so of sleep I wondered what the word in front of mother meant and why it was important for her care. I gave them what ...]]></description>

										One week ago (technically one week and onedays ago) I knew it was time to stop the bloggy break I have been on and start blogging again. I left because I lost my community or so I thought but mostly because I lost my will to write. I could not figure out what to write about and most of what I wanted to write about well I thought no one would care. In my time off I realized I wanted to write for me and not anyone else, it helps me work through things!
What happened a week ago – my worst nightmare, Little Princess broke her left femur (upper leg bone, the big one) and well here is what I posted on facebook:
I have had a lot of questions the last few days about what happened to Little Princess and let me tell you Aaron and I are beating ourselves ...]]></description>

I gave myself a 36th Birthday gift, a little early (almost a week early) I set up the meeting and started the process Aaron and I have been talking about for a few months, we will soon be foster parents with the option to adopt if that becomes available.
Had you asked me when I was a little girl or even last year if I would ever consider being a foster parent I would have told you that it takes a special person to be a foster parent and I would have to look deep before I even considered that option. Today I looked in a social workers eyes and said with all the confidence in the world “Sign us up” and she did, after I went on a search for Aaron’s social security number, someday maybe I will memorize that number!
The paperwork is all vaguely familiar, we had ...]]></description>

										Since Little Man and Little Princess have came home we have tried to figure out how to have one on one time with each parent, in usually is two on one. Well my mom won tickets to the Cardinals game on Saturday night and gave them to Little Man and Aaron. Since Little Man is under 3 he gets in free if he will sit on Aaron’s lap, so they asked Aaron’s dad to go with them (Friday was his birthday and Sunday was father’s day and he taught Aaron how to be a good Cardinal’s Fan). The game was an evening game so Aaron, Little Man and Greg left about 1:30 p.m. for St. Louis and Little Princess and I were left to spend the day as we pleased  
While I cannot speak to the fun Little Man had (I was not there), Aaron says that he had ...]]></description>
