Wow, Labor Day is this weekend! Fall is right around the corner. These kids went back to school:
These girls moved to their own little house in Lincoln and the older one graduated with a master's degree and started a grown up teaching job. And she got my first grandpuppy.
Of course, oldest son is still living in Omaha, working and going to school. Tom is working on about fifty things at once, both at home and at the business.
Me? I'm just...waiting. Waiting. Waiting.
For my little guy to come home. Yes, this seems to be the world's speediest international adoption, I know. We applied to adopt him in February and we have already passed court and likely the entire process will be over by October. But gosh, once you see that face and hold that little body in your arms and hear that sweet little voice call you "Mommy"...the waiting is painfully hard. Adding to my angst is the fact that our boy is the only child left in his transition home. It's just him and a nanny, all day and all night. How lonely he must be, and how scared! I am not exaggerating that not five minutes go by without me thinking about him. I nested like crazy before we headed off to court, and now I seem to have lost the will to perform productive actions of any kind.
Praying that the embassy and immigration people approve his case soon. My family needs a functional mom. :)
