That was the subject line of the email in my inbox this morning. The rest of the day has been a blur. Excitement? Absolutely. Anxiety? Yes. Complete confusion? Well… yes, that too. You see, we’re still waiting on Dalton’s passport. I say still, but really it’s only been a bit over a week. And thankfully, after a few frantic phone… Read More
a little help from my friends
My head is pounding. And I can’t quite see straight. And no, I have not been drinking. You see, I’ve spent the morning – and the bulk of the afternoon – hovered over my laptop trying to re-organize some things over on No Hands But Ours. Since we migrated six blog sites into one WordPress site in the recent overhaul,… Read More
Wuhan. Been there?
I’ve been to China a couple o’ times, but this will be my first time to Hubei Province. If you’ve been to Hubei, specifically Wuhan, I’d love to hear about your time there. Where did you stay? Did you tour? Where did you shop for groceries? Baby supplies? How was the weather (if you traveled in March or April)? Where… Read More
news. great news.
Our Article 5 has been picked up from the Consulate and has been dropped off with the CCCW@. Which probably sounds incredibly confusing, if not totally boring, to any non-adoption folks. But to us? It’s spectacular news. The Article 5 letter is issued by the Consulate after all the necessary paperwork has been received and reviewed. This process usually takes… Read More
Oh my.
We sent a care package to Tallula and her foster family for Chinese New Year. And we sent a list of questions, with no idea if or when they might be answered. We didn’t have to wonder too long, though. We received not only answers to our questions, but two new pictures of our little robust girlie… (1) Who chose… Read More
All About Tallula
Since we shared our news about Tallula, some of y’all have asked a few questions… 1. When did all this happen? How are you so close to being able to bring her home? Well, a lot has been going on behind the scenes. We chose to keep it to ourselves so we could focus on Poppy. And so we could… Read More
the road to Tallula
Tallula Mae. She came to us as a surprise. A big surprise. In mid-May of last year, we were still reeling from the passing of our beautiful Esther when our agency contacted us to broach an incredibly painful subject. What exactly did we want to do with our dossier for Esther? It took us days to even be able to… Read More
the news
Y’all are too much. I loved reading your guesses. Some made me smile. Buying a cow? Not it, but I do kinda like that idea. Another pony? Hmmmm…. Going blond? The funny part was how I’d look after my over-processed fell out. Some made me cry. Victoria getting engaged? Not my baby! Engaged? Getting a new puppy? Seriously, Seamus is… Read More
some news on Gus. and some news on us.
I had to share with y’all who have been so gracious to pray and help spread the word about this precious little peanut. Gus has found his forever family. So very excited for the little guy, I can hardly stand it. And, in case you’re wondering… it’s not us, y’all. But we do have a little bit of news to… Read More
Gus
Look at this little guy. His name is Gus. And he is just one year old. And his special need is dwarfism. Ooooh, I can’t stand it. Don’t his little chubby, dimply arms look just like Vivi’s? As y’all probably know, our Vivienne has dwarfism. We still aren’t quite sure what form of dwarfism she has, as there are many,… Read More
