good news

Eric and I had planned to travel together trip one(Yeah I know its required) and bring CHrysta along. And on trip two I would travel back and bring Cody along and Eric would stay home and work. but it turns out he has a lot of sick days he can use, AND he has more vacaation days coming than he believed he did and he thinks he has enough to come with me BOTH trips! When we brought Ethan home it was such a special time together and I would really hate for him to miss out on that with this little one. and it isnt something you can get back. so if he can go with me that will be outstanding and awesome and Much to the dismay of my friends I really DO love spending time with him, and we love to travel together. He is such a gift to me. I still dont know if cody and chrysta can go with us or not. Still waiting to hear on that one. waiting for a return call.

today

at the zoo I was noticing all the little blondies and wondering if my little blondie will look like that or do this or that. of course I had to remind myself that she may never do all the things those kids were doing but she will have a chance to do SOME of them and without us giving her a chance she wouldnt get one at all. I know this is my child. I know she is. but even when you grow a child yourself there is a time from diagosis of problem to grieving for the child that will never be. I am happy with her the way she is. I will give her whatever I can to help her get the most she can possibly get out of her life. but I still grieve for the child she will never be. she will be ours. we will love her. the fact remains that she will have limitations in what her body allows her to do. I am coming to terms with that, and starting to see how my little pipe dream is really doing to be a little different than I had in mind. differnt isnt bad, just different. and something to get used to.

silly man wants to change her name now. = )

Help us bring Ana home!

magazine fundraiser! we get 40% of sales towards our bring Ana home fund. Ana doesnt have a lot of time to lose. we have got to get over there and get that angel home. No child belongs in an institution! they belong in a family where they are loved and cared for and taught all the things a child should know. here is a link to our fundraiser www.magfundraising.com/Enberg_adoption tell your friends, and family! bring our angel home!

bah! its the weekend!

generally people say oh good its the weekend. not me. the weekend is two days each week that NOTHING HAPPENS towards bringing home our Ana. There is no one to contact. no calls to make. no paperwork. Its so hard to sit and do nothng! I mean there is plenty of stuff I could do around the house, but no adoption specific activities. And all I want is to get that babygirl HOME! I imagine it is hard to put pants on with her legs permanently bent and her unable to stand. SO I am thinking chubber covers and dresses. thankfully I have another daughter who will only wear dresses so I think I probably have plenty of dresses I can hand down. I suppose I should get out my serger and whip up some chubber covers so I will have enough. thats something adoption related right? so I could feel I accomplished SOMETHING? maybe?
