No News, Just Bloggin'

Nothing new to report in our adoption process -- still waiting for our first ruling, which could come tomorrow, or a month from now. Getting Ryan’s room ready has been keeping us busy in our free time. We still haven't gotten around to window treatments, buying a crib mattress, removing the guest bed, or fixing the closet door that falls on us whenever we slide it shut... but the room is starting to come together.




Now we just need the baby to to put in the crib!


We had a fun visit from my sister’s family over Memorial Day weekend. Her sons (Ryan's future cousins and playmates) are 19 months and 3 years old. They had a great time playing with their Uncle Rob, who can't wait to be a dad.


Our older nephew is fascinated with ceiling fans, and the younger one with clocks, so we often wonder what particular fascinations Ryan will have as he explores the world.

Our poor pets (an 8-year-old labrador retriever and an 11-year-old cat, who are used to sleeping about 20 hours a day) were so worn out from the boys chasing them around and wanting to play with them all the time. They have no idea that soon there will be another energetic little boy living in their house! We hope Ryan isn’t afraid of our furry friends -– although they would probably prefer that he is, if it means he will leave them alone during their sleep-a-thons :-)


Once we become parents, Rob and I will probably be this exhausted every night too!
