I'm outta' here!

Sorry I didn't get the Birthday or Christmas pics posted, it has been a mad house here, and I've been sick. I will do it when I get back... and will try, if I have internet access, to send a quick note to the blog. We'll see!
I fly in about 6 hours, so I need to get to sleep! And wish us luck tomorrow... Court day for the girls... wouldn't it be great to get there and hear that they passed!?!?

London Baby!

Here are the pics from London.... We had a great time, though short.... One day, just isn't enough! Guess that means we have to go back!

Which way do we go?


Tower of London...





Look kids, Parliment... and Big Ben...





The London Bridge...




The London Eye...


The new car is covered in salt and crud from the snow we had this week, so pics will have to wait!

I know I'm a slacker....

Sorry for the delay in posts... I know there are a few of you out there wondering if we fell off the face of the Earth....

I have just been so busy with the Holiday Project, International Bazaar-where I was selling my jewelry over the weekend... and just life in general!

We received news last week, that I may, after all, be able to bring the girls home with me, if I extend my trip in Addis. This would be great, and also a hardship for Jon and the 'littles'.... since he will be home alone with them for that extra time. We won't know anything for sure, until I arrive in Addis... but we are preparing for it, just in case! We thought we would have 2 more months, to get things in order before the girls arrive, so we haven't even begun to get thier room together,etc...

Think of us!

I took a fun trip to London the day before Thanksgiving, and when I get home tonight, I will try to post some pics... It was a quick day of shopping, and riding the Tube...

In other news, Jon took the train to Bremerhaven (clear in the north of Germany) to pick up our new car yesterday... after leaving the house at 6am, he arrived home last night at around 9pm... Now, we won't have to take two cars everywhere when the girls arrive. It is a lovely Black Cherry (not our first choice in color... but what can you do, when you need it now, and its the only one on the boat!) Mazda CX-9. Seats 7.... Who ever knew that we would need a car that seats 7.... Crazy.

Pics to come, later... sorry again, for the delay!
