Sunday Snapshot: Good Bye Jack

We sent Jack, the cat we were cat sitting the past two months, on a plane to Hawaii yesterday. We all grew very attached to him and will miss him, especially the girls. He is such a sweet cat.

Sunday Snapshot: Making Juice Pops with Pops

Another busy week comes to an end. Spent most the week visiting my sister in CT. (The girls and I had a wonderful time! Pictures to come.) Both girls were very excited to get in some good quality Daddy time after being away for so long. Saturady we attended a family adoption picnic hosted by the agency both Emme and I were adopted through.

I got the opportunity to join several other amazing adult adoptees speak about our adoption experiences and field questions at the picnic. I always love opportunities like this because I meet adult adoptees who I share an unspoken bond with.

If you are an adult adoptee and you have an opportunity to attend an adult adoptee event please do. This is a picture (I'm the one with the red purse) from a conference held annually at Rutger's University organized by the CPFA (Concerned Persons for Adoption.) This was my second year speaking with the group pictured above. It will be held again this year in November. I am looking forward to speaking again and of course seeing my fellow panelists. I love that it is such a diverse group! If you are in the NJ, NY or PA area and are an adoptive parent or adoptee you can find out more about the conference at the CPFA website.

For all you Korean adoptees out there the Outreach Director who helped organized the picnic and panel mentioned attending the Korean Gathering for Adult Adoptees in Korea next August. I wish I could afford to go! It is still isn't out of the realm of possibilities...fingers crossed. I know it would be an incredible experience.

To Grandmother's house we go...

What fun we had!

I just thought this was darling. I think it is of Lu's new friend from North Carolina. Lu just walked into my office handed it to me and then walked out. What do you think?

The sun is finally shining! Here is Lulu's chalk drawing, Flowers for Daddy. I just love it. She thought of adding the flowers all by herself. I think she may be eclipsing me in the creative department!

Enjoy your day!

The letter of the day is M for mesmerizing. As in, Sesame Street is mesmerizing!

Sunday Snapshot: Our Little Linus

Our little Em has three blankets that she LOVES. She sleeps with them and likes to drape them around her as she walks around the house. She will hand me a blanket and say ba ba (which translates not to blanket but to back, back. Meaning put this on my back.) I have tried like all naive parents do -- to do a blanket switcheroo (in the dark) -- while one is in the wash. No dice. She knows them by touch! Luckily I was smart enough not to ever let her leave the house with them! Even then we find ourselves on the blanket hunt right before bedtime or nap time.
This picture just makes me smile. She couldn't be happier or cozier.
