Summer 2014

Summer 2014 has started off so lovely. Both Alex & Liv have finally learned to ride their bikes without training wheels within 2 days. We have gone swimming, played past dark. Have the dreaded bug bites. Been sunkissed. The freckles have come out in full force as they do every summer. Before school let out I wanted this summer to be fun. I have day I have to remind me that summer is for fun, but mostly making the choice to have fun is making this summer already better than any other summer. 

 My summer bucket list: 
-Survive June. We have a lot of birthdays in June. 6 to be exact. 
-Not get lobster fried. It seems to happen every year, you know the burn where you feel like you can't move or sleep or breath. 
-That no one dies. But seriously, we plan on going on lots of bike rides, staying out in the dark summer nights and going swimming.

 That's my list. Those are the things. Everything else are bonuses.

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"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...
