One way or another I am going to have a house full of black headed little girls.

Here is our latest baby born:







This is baby Finley, and she was born on Aug 4th. We will be going to get Sophie's little sister the end of September. We can't wait. She is a cocker spaniel.

Here is an updated picture of Miss Sophie who does make my heart feel good.





Sorry to have been such a bad blogger, commentor, and friend. Just feeling guarded, isolated, and trying to just cope. I will again be a good friend. I am thinking of you all, and try to catch up on reading periodically. For my friends that really are getting close, I am really thinking of you. I know the wait and the unknown must seem unbearable, but I hope it all just melts when you finally get that picture.

Taylor is coming home tomorrow, and we are happy to be able to have a little more time with her before she returns to school for her last year. She is doing well, and her leg and ankle are improving everyday. Thank you to everyone who sent us well wishes, they were very appreciated.

Hey Jules,

Thank you for stopping by. I feel exactly the same way you do guarded, isolated and just trying to cope.

I started my blog as a journal of this experiences. At some point I realized that every thing I say about this adoption process will affect Hazel in some way.

I know that once she is home and time passes I will have forgotten most of these yucky feelings.

So I don't want these feelings to haunt her. I want Hazel to know only the joy in my wait for her.

So, in the meantime, I am not putting the yuck out there as a permanent record for her to some day find.

I want the the trails of the long wait to be recorded as misty watercolors. Not raw and pure emotions.

I have someone pimping my blog. That will be my coming out party.

I hope you have had a wonderful summer.

Your new babies are precious and beautiful.

Peace,
Beth

Hi My Friend!
I have been thinking of you a lot lately and I am looking forward to some 3 hour coffee sessions once school starts!
I am so over the whole waiting thing and I often feel like this adoption will never happen. At what point do you just throw in the towel???
I have a couple of things that need your awesome monogramming skills! Let's get together soon!
