Summer's Slipping Away

I don't understand it, but it happens every year--I think when school is out we'll have so much more time on our hands, but ultimately we have less "free time" than during the school year.  Granted, we are not grading essays (thank goodness!) or working overtime getting rid of a school-wide computer virus (double thank goodness!) or heading up the prom planning committee (triple thank goodness!), but we are working on the house (a 107-year-old farmhouse is a never-ending project), working in the garden (which I have got to downsize....but probably never will), helping out with church activities, getting Briton's room ready, canning or freezing all the veggies from the garden, and the list goes on and on.  Now, that doesn't mean we don't find time for the things we enjoy--going to the river, Mike playing a round of golf, or Aimee reading a good book, but between it all we stay busy.  All that to say that I am appalled at how infrequently we have been posting on the blog this summer.

In our defense (we tend toward leniency...at least where ourselves are concerned ;) we really have learned nothing new concerning the adoption since May, which makes it a little difficult because we feel like we are posting the same information each week.  This isn't to say that the process isn't moving along, because we know that it is; we just aren't privy to all the specifics. Also, some of the information that we receive in our weekly emails we are not allowed to share via a public forum.  However, we do expect to receive an updated well baby check (hopefully with new pictures) later this month.  So, come back and visit the blog every now and then because one of these days we'll have some really good news to report!
