So . . .

I know my blog posts have been slightly uninspired lately. For one, we are definitely in the waiting phase of the whole adoption process. Which means that there won't be too many updates until we receive a referral. Unless we were to decide to adopt a waiting child, which is always a possibility, we will most likely wait at least 20 months for a referral. Could the process speed up? Sure it could, and we're praying it does. But I also believe that we have to be realistic. Which is why this blog is called Waiting for Bulgaria . . . it is the story of our lives as we wait for our little girl to come home.

Other than that, I've just been wiped out and stressed out lately. I love it when people make comments about teachers having it easy because they have summers off. I usually have to resist the urge to throttle them. I don't think people realize the enormous amount of stress and pressure that is on teachers (at least here in Texas) right now (and just so you know, it has very little to do with the kids). By the end of the day, I'm often too wiped out to write anything of any substance. Sorry.

This weekend has been nice. We didn't have much going on yesterday so Andrew and I went and got barbecue and ice cream with Patrick at lunchtime. Then for dinner, even though we were still stuffed, I made shrimp gumbo. Which was awesome if I do say so myself. ;)

This morning Andrew's school, which is at the Lutheran Church in town, had preschool Sunday. The kids sang a few songs and received a preschool Sunday shirt, and then there was a picnic lunch, a train, and games. It was a beautiful day, and it was a lot of fun. I took quite a few pictures, but I'm only going to post the ones that just have Andrew in them. I don't like putting up pictures of other peoples' kids unless I'm sure it is okay with them.

Very serious . . . getting ready to perform.

Singing . . . or at least he's supposed to be singing.

Trying to hula-hoop. This is about the extent of his hula-hooping skills.


I don't think this one needs a comment . . . it totally speaks for itself. :)

Well, I hope everyone had a great weekend, and I hope you have a fabulous work week. Adios folks.
