Staying caught up is where I like to be.
(especially when it comes to laundry) So I am back logging and going to rejoin blog land. To be honest it is hard to stay up with blogging without checking on all my adoption friends blogs. Well, checking their adoption blogs reminds me I am not currently in the middle of an adoption which lies heavy on my heart. So though truly adoption is NEVER out of my mind or heart it is easier to deal with when you stay away from blog land...at least for me. So of course then the next obvious question that I/we get asked quite often, "will you adopt again?" I don't know. If we had the money in the bank right now the answer would most likely be Yes! If we qualified for the adoption tax credit, then again most likely, Yes! I don't know If I am even ready mentally to adopt again. Because although it is financially taxing it is also very emotionally taxing. Although thankfully, for our family, all the good has outweighed the bad!! And even tonight during our prayer time Sophie is telling me she is ready to adopt again and her "new sister" can sleep on the top bunk, and EG is telling me the next time (
like it is a given in her mind) we adopt she wants it to be a black baby! And at the same time Micah and Tyler feel "we have enough kids". But as for today as for right now I am just loving and enjoying the life God has blessed us with!
(although I must side with EG) :)
