Bittersweet

I mean, who would want to leave this? Blake took this pic while climbing our hill with the boys. WOW!

Boy, I never thought I would have thought this week would have been bittersweet.

But it is.

We are all so ready to be home and be with our family and friends that we miss so much!

I find myself struggling though about lots of things that I was putting my time into that was taking precious time away from my family.

Am I the only one who does this? Perhaps it's because I've been given so much time fairly isolated from my norm to ponder this stuff.

I think about Blake's schedule and how much it's going to change. Blah.

The kids haven't been in MDO/preschool for 3 months, and it's been incredible!

I mean, my hair looks pitiful because I haven't had time alone to get a cut or color. But when you wear a cap all of the time, it doesn't really matter!

But then I think about all of the things that I am dying for: getting everything in for our adoption of baby #4, seeing our birth mommas, seeing family, friends, neighbors, Sonic diet vanilla coke, my oven, my Dyson, my bed, Sadie's room (poor baby!), a dishwasher and my washing machine!

Darn. I sound so spoiled.

So, the car is already filling up fast and my precious in-laws will be here in only 4 sleepies to load us up!!!

The city is getting ready for the Winter X Games this weekend! I think this is where they do the tricks. Why am I acting like I know what I am talking about?

Seriously, all we do is giggle and oooh and awe when we see her!

Look at Cooper, poor guy can't turn around in his coat! This was taken by the timer!

Thanks Aunt Jamie and Uncle Brent for the Starbucks gift card! What a hit!!!

I love them wearing their caps!
