still waiting

Yep, that's right we are STILL waiting. I don't jump everytime the phone rings now, but still jump if it's my new cell, since the PC is the only person I gave the number to - wrong numbers, and telemarketers are causing serious grey hair and heart faiure here.

I know it will happen when it is the right time and the right placement, but it is a little frustrating.

Hey Avery.... GOTCHA!

Three years, I can't believe it.

Normally on Avery's adoption day I am very sentimental, weepy, and your typical sappy mom. This year however has been very different. Somehow the shock and disbelief that accompanies my thought of becoming a mom aren't there. In it's place is security and "normalcy". She is just my little girl. I really can't remember the days before her being here.
I am still grateful beyond belief, and totally in awe of the girl she is becoming.

We have come full circle this year. We've made steps to add to our family. We have gotten to a place of more security in her attachment. And we are even hoping to gain some understanding of her birthfamily (I'll save that for another day). I feel so complete and confident as a mom now.

Today we planned a fun outing, but hen Avery woke, she wanted to go to the park and the "cactus place where we ate before". So that is exactly what we did.

Feeling very proud of my girl today.

License Received!!!!

Yep, that's right we got it in the mail today. I knew we were getting something in the mail from our agency, but when I opened it and saw the license there too, well I almost fell out of the chair.
They said they'd try and rush them, but a week. It only took 1 week!

Now I am claeaning the house like a mad woman cause they could call anytime.

Ahhhh!!! I'm in a frenzy!
