Wednesday’s Child – Iliana
Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information . . .

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from September 2009. I'm feeling a little edgy this week. Could be all the traveling we've been doing this month. Could be the impromptu trip to Haiti we are taking next week. Could be the fact that Mark is at a training all weekend in LA. Could be the three kids thing, the nursing thing, the not-sleeping thing . . . could just be a little lingering post-partum crazy. Whatever the reason, I've been finding myself a little overwhelmed. Okay, . . .

“but Jafta doesn’t match” | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from September 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from September 2009. India is in a stage where she is sorting and categorizing everything she sees. She likes looking at things in her world and pointing out the things that are the same, and then the things that are different. It's a great skill for her to be developing at this age (and probably one bolstered by lots and lots of Sesame Street). However. One of the things that she has been noticing, as of late, is the fact that she and Karis . . .

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from September 2009. We just got word from Haiti - Mark and I need to appear IN PERSON to sign before a judge in order for our papers to move to the next stage. I'm not surprised by this - I've been hearing rumblings that it might happen for a few weeks. Haiti is notorious for inventing steps in their adoption process, especially when they get pressure from certain anti-adoption "charities" that I will not mention but rhyme with goonicef. . . .

Life Lately
View this post on Instagram Last night we held a “Pandemic Prom” for our senior who missed out on here this year. I used my @nuuly subscription this month to order a bunch of fancy dresses that the girls picked out. (I will talk more about that in my stories.) We ordered decor from Target and spent the day decorating. And of course it devolved into a giant balloon fight, and the boys mostly refused to dance (like a lot of . . .
Dispatches from the OC | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from August 2009. We are hanging in Seattle for a few days. As we venture away from our below Orange County, a few highlights: I had a garage sale this weekend. The tacky MILF maternity top that was sent to me for review? It was the FIRST THING THAT SOLD. I picked up a copy of a magazine called OC Health, thinking that it might have some info about 5k races in the area. Instead, it was a booklet full of ads for local . . .
