Blue Skies

The start of our spring break here in the Outer Banks has been just glorious! (love that word glorious). It was Easter brunch on Sunday with Grandma and Grandpa at our favorite restaurant down here and some relaxing beach time yesterday. I wish I could begin every day with some shell collecting. Even though the ocean was ice cold, the kids still got soaked and as always my camera was part of the experience.

Easter last year in the outer banks, NC.
Can't time slow down just a little bit?

Lucaism

The Lucaism for the week has to be:

"Mom, if Jesus died and then rose, why do we get jelly beans?"

Can anyone help me with this one? LOL!

Meanwhile, here are some shots from this afternoon:
Note the smiley Lily vs the pouty Lily. Man we are in for it!

Today we received Lily's Certificate of Foreign Birth and now we can finally proceed to getting the SS number and US passport. Just when you think there are no more hoops to jump through, but really I can't complain. It's all worth it.

Found these little cuties today at Marshalls.

Addicted!

As I sit on my butt, listening to my boys call each other ugly and obsess over Playstaion, I look over at Lily with a full diaper. It's 10:00, I am not on the treadmill, I am not cleaning or cooking, I am not even dressed. What am I doing?? BLOGGING! I sort of dropped out over the last few months but I admit to now being completely addicted. I love reading everyone's stories, adoption memories and of course the photos of Korea and these beautiful children. It takes me right back there. My heart aches for those parents who are waiting and I feel that groggy happiness for those who have just returned. I am thankful to everyone for sharing and I hope to give inspration to others as well! I am in the process of giving this blog a fresh look and hope it turns out nicely.

Some pics: One is from Luca's big debut reciting his poem "Chicken Soup with Rice" to the pre- K class yesterday and my new fav of Lily.

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Watching makes you want to take them all home doesn't it?

Last night's ball exchange with the Washington Wizards. The boys got to go on the court, recieve a signed ball and shirt but it seemed the best part for them was getting on the "Jumbotron!"

NY Times- Korean Adoption

I decided to check out some blogs created by Korean adoptees and found this today. It is an article from over a year ago but I thought it was worth passing on.
