Unemployed

and Lovin it!!!!

I know this picture is blurry, hard to get picture of him holding still. He looks so happy and I love the his smile

I bought the lady bug sweater for Naomi in China (well I guess grandpa bought it for her/me) It has a Gymboree 4T tag in it, the one on the shelf next to it had a Gap 2T tag in it and it was even bigger (Naomi is currently wearing 18 month clothes). I guess they put tags in that will please the tourists.

I LOVE lilacs and my Chinese lanterns. I carried these lanterns from Nanchang to Guangzhou to Seattle. Probably time to take them down, but I love them . . . so maybe not.

I have done lots of fun things in my first few weeks of being unemployed. Couple zoo trips, lots of walks (I love walking with people) Last week I got to visit a sweet new baby in the hospital in the middle of the day when nobody else was there. Nothing like holding a brand new baby. Life is good. I have always dreamed of staying home full time with my peeps. Hoping it all works out.

My Sweet Sweet girl

Love her sweet smile. She is wearing her brothers overalls, I loved the boys in their overalls Naomi looks pretty dang cute too.

Sil

Pasta face and hair and clothes.

Happy Mothers Day

These 3 are the reason I get to be a mom. I love you guys.

Happy Mothers Day to my mom and all the moms I know and love.

Whatever

"Whatever" words from the mouth of Thanie.
This is what an unemployed mother is supposed to spend her days doing??? Right?

Tulips

Today 4 of us went up to see the Tulips they are about an hour drive from our house. It was a special treat. Spending the day as a family makes me happy. Look how beautiful the gardens and fields are.

Yes we are missing Zach, could not justify him missing more school. But we did miss him.

Naomi and I walked to pick Zach up from school. This girl is always moving, she is a busy, busy girl. Look how dang cute she is. I love her. We had our post placement visit this week. Made me reflect on how far we have come. How much Naomi has changed and grown. How much she is meant to be in our family.

Check our my handsome 5 year old. Oh I love this kid. We went to the Zoo.

Naomi's first baseball game. It was foster and adoption night at the game. We had a FUN evening got to hang out with one of the people I traveled to China with.

Zach just lookin good at the game.
