Packing for China

Anna has been SO excited about her sister since the day we told her and shared with her the pictures of Selah. She has been pointing at her pictures around the house saying "my sister, my sister" for all of May. She points to Selah's crib and says, "Say-la, where is she?" I started telling her early part of May that we'll ALL get to go to China and go get her. She wakes up daily asking if today is the day to "Go to China". Over memorial day weekend, I had our boys get a suitcase and start packing 3-4 summer outfits and put them in the suit case... Anna got this idea in her head that she needs to do the same, so she went into the garage, found herself the smallest suitcase, and began packing yesterday... ALL ON HER OWN.

Here is what she packed:

(1) Lei from Hawaii
(1) snack bag with 2 bagel crisps in it
(1) Swim cover up
(1) toy pitcher
(1) Hello Kitty Coloring book
(1) spoon
(1) fuzzy blanket

The girl knows how to pack light... I think she pretty much covered everything she absolutely needs. Maybe she can pack for me and teach me about packing light :)

Portland Marathon 2013 (My First ever Marathon Recap)

I wanted to capture my moment by moment FIRST marathon experience so here goes: I'll start with the night before: We went over to Aaron's parents house to have some dinner with them as well as Micah & Danielle (Aaron's brother and wife) and their kids, Gabriel and Grace, and Mathew and Taylor (cousins of our kids).   We got back to our hotel (Hilton downtown) around 7:15pm and I organized my outfit for the big day while Aaron took the kids swimming at the pool.  I agonized back and forth about whether to carry my Nathan hydration vest or not for a week and Aaron finally helped me make the decision that although the aid stations were going to be plenty, I should go ahead and carry my own water.... because he knows that  1) I don't like stopping to get water even if it's a moment because I feel like I lose momentum 2) I am really BAD at drinking from the cups and have gotten multiple water sloshes up my nose (which hurts!) and water on my shoes (which, is BA...

Much has happened...

It's been exactly one week since we were given our bad news about not being able to adopt the girls from Indonesia. God has really comforted us alot during the past week... I still have a hard time not crying when someone asks me when we can go get the girls.... In my excitement, I showed so many people at church and friends the pictures of the girls because in my heart, I really felt these girls were ours. But, God is not done writing our story ~ I know that this will have a Godly outcome and we will move forward. We have had lots of support and encouragement ~ most people we know well have expressed their sadness over this. I returned the bedding I bought for the girls at the store and when I did, I was sorta in a sad mood.... the person handling the returns said "Are these not going to work out?" to which, I replied "No, it's not" and then she felt like she had to push the issue with me and said "Is there anything wrong with it?" By then, I...
