The good, the bad, and the beautiful
The good:
Playdate with Joseph today!Uncle Pat's home!!!
Not sure what to think about this guy...
'He's kinda goofy Mom'
'OK, I like goofy'
'What's that, Mom? You're wondering how I got over here to look out the window?'
Last time I had looked (12 seconds before this) she was IN the play yard. Ms Escapeartiste has found 2 ways out of the play yard. We need reinforcements.The bad: Our appt card to get fingerprinted by the feds was lost in the mail. A month ago. Ugh. They are sending out a new appt notice today.
The beautiful:
Check this: a picture of her first 'real' boo-boo. A skinned elbow. Her dad was horrified. Not only did he miss the occasion, but I didn't even kiss it. I'm a bad parent.
I love the look of innocence as she plays with the end of a plugged-in something that I have pulled her away from 15 times ( kind of like now as I repeatedly remove her from the printer, the tower, the garbage, etc.)
Close-up!
E's dad was less than thrilled that I said I was dressing her as a Catholic schoolgirl today.
Look how ridiculous this outfit is! She got many compliments all day today.
I laughed everytime I looked at her.
Studious in her schoolduds
Reading herself a bedtime story.
My heart is heavy today for the orphans in Guatemala and their waiting families. Things look grim. I've emailed everyone I know to email and have a list of folks to call on their behalf tomorrow. We feel so blessed.
Count your blessings tonight and every night.

The pics with Pat are adorable. I didn't know we had a Houdini in the family. The outfit is cute Jenny but I never wore a tie to school. God bless all of those waiting for a child in Guatemala.
