"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
I love that all of your kiddos are in this one! And I think it would be so fun to go to Greece sometime too. And how sweet that she wants to go to Paris!
ReplyDeleteShe started this Paris thing a few months ago and has not let up about it, would be so wonderful if I could take her one day
DeleteThe "kids behind the blog" are adorable! And food can either be one of the best things about travel or the worst thing, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteTell your daughter Paris is definitely fun! & I love that your kids joined in your video!
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit Greece. It looks so picturesque and I think you have the perfect method of visiting it: you, your camera, and lots of coffee! And, oh, sister, a trip to Africa will MESS. YOU. UP. but I so recommend it. I pray the Lord will lead you to that opportunity one day soon!
Well I've been messed up by foster care, might as well continue that way ;) I definitely plan to be there one day.
DeleteCome to Nigeria, Katie!
ReplyDeleteP.S the faces your boy was making behind you? Precious :')
Oh girl I'd love to, hopefully one day!

DeleteParis sounds perfect.
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot about the trip I made to Arizona about nine years ago. I don't know how I did, considering it was one of my favourites. That state is brimming with beauty. No wonder you love it, too!
