Weekend Walk

This past weekend we walked down to Puget Sound.  We took Daisy, snacks, and a thermos of coffee.  The boys looked for shells, crabs, and watched the tide going out.

The view.  If you look closely you can see some of the Cascade Mountain Range.

Only one of us was crazy enough to take of their shoes and socks.  I'm pretty sure he regretted it.  The water was REALLY cold.

One Year

So I haven't blogged regularly in awhile and part of the reason is because I've been moping around and feeling sorry for myself.  A year ago this week we received a referral for two sweet brothers in the DRC.  A year ago we said Yes! we want to be their parents and love them.  We saw their faces and fell in love with them.  We were filled with excitement and anticipation to bring them home.  And then we waited.  And waited.  And we're still waiting with not really any idea of when this will happen. 

And so I've been feeling sorry for myself, which I hate.  I mean this is hard.  It's a hard thing we're enduring, but there are so many worse things that people go through that I don't want to feel sorry for myself any more.  So I'm going to stop wallowing and start doing.  Including starting a new blog which I hope some time in the next year to be able to shares pictures of our newest family members.
