Just being your mom!



Sometimes I have to step back from the unknowns, and just be your mom.  So yesterday, I spent a little time in your room, fixing up the space for you and Quinn to share!


It is not complete, but getting pretty close, and it is definitely one of my favorite spaces in our home!

Peace out, Quarantine!

   14 days later, and we are all done with our quarantine!   At 6am tomorrow morning (10/23!), we blow this popsicle stand!  While the first few days were extremely slow, a routine finally set in, and the second week as seemed to have flown.  We got to open the door three times a day for food, and one time, where they took our temperature, and we practiced our very basic Korean. We watched shows, got work done, snuck out on the balcony, I took nearly daily baths where I listened to music or books, and we watched the most beautiful sun sets.  Each evening, we fought sleep, to stay up until our evening work hours.  The slower pace has been nice, in a way, though I don't think I'll ever get used to eating all my food at room temperature.   Our marriage is safely in tact, with only a few disputes, one over who got to open the door at a meal time, one heated moment over who was playing the workout tunes, and a few other grumpy moments here an...

Finishing your room!

Image
   The original plan, was for the girls to room together.  That might still happen, someday.  But when one of your daughters doesn't go to sleep very well, (cough... cough... Quinn!) and makes some questionable choices... on the regular,  you rethink the original plan, and decide to go to plan B.  Plan B, being that Palmer is moved over to our former guest room, with his own bathroom, and you turn Palmer's former room, into Rowan's new digs.  Her room, and Quinn's, are connected via a Jack and Jill bathroom.  Hopefully, someday, they can share rooms.  But for the time being, they have separate rooms.     Ross made an amazing "house" bed, and her room has come together, with so much love from others.   Her bed:  Ross worked on this bed for weeks, and it really came together!  It started out with a simple frame, and then we brainstormed together, to make an easier way to get out, and adding strength to the str...

Happy 2nd Birthday, Rowan!

Image
 On the other side of the world, Rowan is at the very end of her 2nd birth day!  It is so strange to be away from her, especially on a day we had so hoped to have her home for.  We sent a big package at the beginning of April, but most likely, due to Covid, it has not reached her yet.   We asked our agency if we could send her a video, singing her Happy Birthday, and to our surprise, they said yes!  We learned how to sing Happy Birthday to her in Korean, and the kids picked out a cake, so we could sing and celebrate her life.   Rowan’s gifts! As a mom, my heart thinks of her birth mom, and what a hard choice she had to make.  I am so thankful to get to be Rowan's mom, and to never miss another birthday, and yet, I wish that adoption didn't have to be her road.  I am so thankful to her mom, for the incredible gift it is, to be her third family. Her second family, her foster family, is also on my heart.  They are caring so well for he...
