42+ months...

...and still waiting. Our file is still stuck in the "extra step" that they added to MOI while I was in Haiti. I have a closet full of clothes that I'll probably have to give away. It feels like the kid will never come home. 3.5 years is much too long to wait. Unfortunately, it has really turned us off of adoption. Pray for us.

T took A to FL for the week. My parents are down there right now and he's also able to spend some time with his aunt and uncle. They have been shark tooth/fossil hunting and have also been to the beach. Nice for them. I'm staying busy though. A couple people are out at work so I'm working a lot.

R and I watched "I Am Sam" last night. It had been quite a while since I've seen it and she had never seen it. I know it's just a movie but the part where father and daughter are clinging to each other and people are trying to pull them apart just hit too hard, too close. I know those feelings that they were portraying all too well and they were very fresh in my mind. I could feel J with a death grip on my arm saying, "Please. Please. Please don't leave me here. Take me with you. I don't want to stay without you. Please." But I still wouldn't trade the time I had with him to not have to go through that. Anyway...

I broke a string on my guitar today. I'm pretty sure that's the first time ever. I guess I was really into it. Or the strings were wimpy. Because I've never broken a string I don't keep extras on hand. Now I can't play until I get new strings. Sigh...R's new keyboard is sitting about 12 feet away from me though. Hmmm.

Well, that's about it for now.
