Trees and cars do not mix

With every adoption we/I seem to have the worse luck. :'O(

After a long day at the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic I decided to spend the remainder of the day cleaning out my car. After four long hours I had it sparkling and walked away proud of how my car looked. Normally I usually work cleaning inside but today the kids and I decided to spend sometime outside.

Later that evening and a very loud cracking sound one of our tree's biggest branches decided to break loose.

Today we find out our car is a total lost. Hard to understand just why things like this has got to happen. Today I spend most of the day sweeping up glass and then waiting to hear back from our insurance company. My life is like a dance. Two steps forward and another three steps back... Why when one saves and saves bad things happen? Very thankful the children were not still outside cleaning the car, it could have been much worse. The car can be replaced, it is only a material item but not a child. So back to square one in saving a little more towards our adoption. Gary needing his car to get to work and my car for medical appointments for the children. I ask myself over and over why didn't I move the car? And why now? Especially when we are saving hard towards our adoption. This is life, our life. Many ups and many downs... Well tomorrow we will wake up and start a new day. Tonight our car still sits and waits to be towed away. Sad knowing that we worked so hard to keep it in great shape and then seeing it destroyed so easily by an old 100 year old tree.

Delays and worries

2 weeks waiting She's a very happy girl.

Full of emotions today

I am get back to blogging our journey this week and share some photos and our journey. Today I found myself missing our new little ones. I wonder if they know we are coming back for the both of them. Many tears as we walked out the door and said our goodbyes. This adoption has been a hard one for many reasons. Updating documents and not knowing which child we were meant to adopt. Honestly I just did not know what to expect once we were there. I knew this time deep inside I feel nervous and also excited. With prior adoptions things felt so much differently than this one. Maybe because this journey has been also a year in waiting. When we first met Barbara in hopped a little girl full of life and smiles. As I watched her I noticed she was as nervous as I was. But shortly we got to know one another. I knew then inside as she sat across from us that this was our child, our daughter.. I felt inside love for a child I only met for...

One day closer to coming home

After arriving in Kiev we went right to bed. Between moving quickly from one plane to another then a 30 minute ride to our hotel. With the time difference we had to rest once arriving. Being up over 26 hours we were exhausted. Prior to leaving the US I had to visit my doctor. Not any good news to share. Only some complications had arrised. Staying with Jake a week at the hospital and him checking out the day prior I had to have another check up myself. Unfortunately my cancer has spread. Problems now with blood pressure, thyroid disease and diabetes. Being placed on news meds prior to travel is not working out to well. It was awful arriving in Kiev sitting in a wheel chair. Niko met us and drove us to get Greyson's birth records. It was a 4 hour drive there n back We waited 3 hours to have it printed. Greyson's birth Certificate So much left to do. Tomorrow we head to Mauripol.
