Thoughts

We are enjoying the summer even though the boat is dead in the water. Hahaha. Couldn't help it. It's actually disabled in our carport. Had fun with the kids in the pool last night while T worked late.

J is still cracking us up with his lost in translations. I can't think of any right now but we are always laughing at his command of the english language.

A is at college orientation today. It makes me feel old.

Looking forward to friends and Haitian food this evening. I hope our friends remember they are supposed to come.

I was reading a post on Livesays blog about the profound grief that adopted children go through. We've done a similar little exercise once where we listed things we knew and loved and then were told we had to give them all up. Everything we knew. And that we were going to a new family in a new country and that these people loved us. It's boggling to think about.

And then there are situations like this one http://www.nogreaterjoymom.com/2011/07/so-extremely-desperate.html where the child is absolutely desperate for a family. Can you help in any way?

Or go to this blog http://www.realhopeforhaiti.org/ and see if you can do anything to help. Cholera is refusing to leave Haiti alone.

Those are a few of my thoughts for today.
