The sibling question

So I know I had mentioned earlier this year that we were going to try to start the adoption process this last spring with a desire to bring Erik a sibling. Well plans have changed.......we definitely want to bring another little one into our family and in a time frame that is natural. But things in our lives are not necessarily as planned. Lindsay has found out there may be a chance that we may be getting orders somewhere in another country where we couldn't adopt and thus we are on hold until we hear further notice. We didn't want to put the work into the process and the money to have to put it on hold and do it all over when we get back to the states if we go.

Without giving it too much detail because like I said nothing is official, we would be gone somewhere for 3 years, in another country and we are not sure when we would leave. My guess is sometime early next year but who knows.

So just for those of you who were wondering yes we want another but we are not sure when or how.

Greetings Earthlings

So I honestly feel like I have been on a different planet this summer. A planet where time goes by five times faster than earth and nothing on the homefront gets accomplished. But we have had lots of fun nonetheless.


Erik and I just returned from a trip to Washington to help my mom recover from a major surgery. For those who know her and are wondering........the first week and a half was really rough for her, but finally things seemed to slowly get better and hopefully she will gain some of her freedom back as she continues to progress towards healing. Erik and I had a lot of fun seeing family, but like always it seems there is never quite enough time to visit friends. We need to go for a month and get in everything. Although in our defense we pretty much stayed with my mom to help her with anything we could.


A favorite activity of Erik's this trip was................ was going through the doggie door. He also loved playing baseball and playing with any stick he could find. Basically anything that is not a toy is what he will play with.

There was a toy wagon and a decorative wooden one that was in my parents backyard. He thought he would be sneaky and took the toy one to where the wooden one sits, switched them like we wouldn't notice and played with the wooden one. Where does he come up with this stuff?

School started here but summer is not over for the moon family! I got enough grief over our blog while away that I will try to keep you up to speed more. On to the next adventure!
