I'm Back...............

If only I'd been away doing something exciting.............I could spin a tale of travel, adventure, and mystery...................but, the truth is I've been here.................slugging through busy "daycare" days.......wiping noses, bums, and boo-boo's. I've really felt like there is nothing too worthy to report. You can see by the ticker on the bottom of the blog that we are over 16 months waiting for "baby Lauren." It looks like we are looking at least another 18 months ahead of us. At the end of this summer we'll be renewing our paperwork, doing a Home Study update with our social worker, and be re-fingerprinted etc. Right now, all referrals have been suspended because of the flu outbreak and risk of travel to China. And so we wait.....and wait............and wait!
On a cheerier note! The kids are great and life continues in a blur of gymnastics practices, T-Ball that is beginning this week, and signing up for swimming lessons. Alec is gearing up for the end of school and getting ready to head to California for the month of July. We are going to keep busy with trips to the Zoo, Santa's Village and Centre Island! Should be fun!
Since I can't sign off without a couple of pics............here you go...............
