I do realize that I have not written for almost a month now. Nothing new has taken place with the adoption...Mike and I continue to patiently wait. We are enjoying our time as just the two of us and neither one of us are jumping at the sound of the phone yet.
Current happenings in the Kreider house: I was able to meet little Liam, Missy's son last weekend and he is a joy. I do hope that we get as lucky as she did because he is such a content little guy. Mike even held Liam and did really well! Kelly and Tanner were here earlier in the week as they were both flying to Seattle to see Jason one last time before he leaves the states. Tanner has LOTS of energy....we had lots of fun with him. We are picking them up from the airport tonight and they are staying the whole week. We are happy that we get to spend time with both of them. I'm sure I will learn how to baby proof my house while he is here.....since after one night with him we already made several changes!! I do believe that Mike and Tanner will be become buds this upcoming week. Mike and I also spent a night recently with my U12 soccer team and their families for a fundraiser event. Mike has now gotten to spend some quality time with an infant, a toddler and pre-teens this past month. I am trying to break him in to the idea that we are now entering this world of parenting. I think he is learning the notion of a childs innocence and how wonderful that is.
It has been snowing off and on this week and now the ground is covered. Mike has started sending me emails at work about when the slopes open and he has already taken in our boards to be waxed. So....shortly I'm sure we will be flying down the side of a mountain with boards strapped to our feet. When you think of it that way...we seem a little.....crazy.
One last thing...as most of you know I volunteer at the local women's shelter. This season I have signed up to "adopt a family" for the Christmas season. I will be getting a Wish List from them this upcoming week. If anyone would like to donate items or gift cards for this family send me an email. I will be shopping for them throughout the next few weeks. There are also general donations which are needed and I will pass along this list also.
I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
