Rainy Days

For the most part, you have been "forced" to follow our adoption story. I haven't posted much these days other than the recap of our journey two years ago. So what is going on here??? Not much. I should be busy packing for our move. I try, but it can be difficult to do with Miss Madeline running around. I've been trying to collect boxes from the local liquor store but certainly I won't be able to pack the entire house with tiny liquor boxes. We did get a batch of boxes from friends of ours that moved last weekend. (A co-worker of David's moved in to a house around the corner from our new house. They are a fun couple and have a daughter a little younger than Madeline. the girls had a hoot playing together on Saturday's moving day. I am happy we'll be neighbors!) And yesterday, I finally broke down and bought a bunch of larger boxes from a U-Haul store.

The weather here has been pretty crappy. It has been fairly cool and rainy. So now how do you fill the day?? First thing in the morning yesterday, Madeline wanted to go in the pool (she has an inflatable pool from Grandma and Grandpa) I told her it was too cold outside. Madeline's argument was that she could put on a long-sleeved bathing suit. I give her credit for trying. Instead we spent some time running errands and while at home, Madeline made some artwork for Grandma and Grandpa (it's in the mail!). Of course, Madeline decided to get creative with her stampers..... No, that is not lipstick on her face. It's her stampers!!!!

Not nice to complain about cool wet weather to family members in Texas who have been suffering through 106 degree days lately and who have forgotten what rain looks like. Tomorrow it will cool down to about 100.

How about switching for the rest of the summer? It's 102 degrees right now -- 5:50 p.m. Not a cloud in sight.

It's July and I am wearing my winter lounge-wear....fuzzy socks and all! 102 degrees is quite tempting.
