it's friday.
we sent our email on monday...which clearly was an eternity ago.
do the cecils EVER understand patience in our six years of marriage. but this kind is different.
jacob and i had a meeting about some non traditional teaching opportunities early this week and at the end of the meeting the gentleman we had just met asked us if we had children and after we replied not yet, he was a bit more insistant on the awesomeness of it and asked if we had plans to create a family. sometimes that's rude, but not with him, he was geniunely interested and kind. so for a very awkward 3-4 seconds jacob and i looked at each other because while we haven't really told people, there was no harm in telling this man who had little to no connections with anyone else we knew...so why not.
we're actually adopting, we told him! we explained that we had just started the process...and he was SO excited. it was fun...so fun...to tell him, to see someone excited with us that didn't know us...and i forsee a lot more of that coming.
sleeping has been tricky this week. the madness of our schedules, random obligations, and work keeps us going pretty constantly, but when it comes to bedtime, i'm able to think about the future and then it's hard to fall asleep. is our baby born yet? when were they born? what was i doing the day they came into the world??
i was driving today and was thinking if there would be time in our future together as a family to do all the things i've always wanted to do...art projects...squeal! teaching them their letters by handing them a holga film camera and telling them to photograph everything that starts with an "a"...lol.
then a friend showed me this article today and once again my mind wanders...off of editing pictures, or of blog posts and what we're supposed to pack for an upcoming trip....wander to our little one(s) and the activities we shall do together!!!
here's that article...it's flippin' awesome...especially scroll through the bottom at all the tons of drawings this mom and daughter did together...
