We had a great 13 year anniversary yesterday! Woohoo! Lucky 13!!! Our caseworker came over for our home visit, the final one before our approval (or we assume our approval!). It went well. And she said it should only be another week or so... We are not in a rush, but it sure will be nice to know we are well on our way to adding a new family member to our clan.
The boys are away at camp for a week. It is really nice and peaceful around here - and weird. Yep, weird. They are great kids with lots of great energy, so it is weird to have them both gone at the same time. Teegan was a little nervous the week before going (his first time at camp), but when we started packing on Saturday, he got excited.
I had to attend a birth (went quite well!) on Sunday, so was not able to go up with them. Geoff took the camera and the borrowed video camera we still have in our possession, and was able to keep me in the loop. They were both SO excited to be there. And the weather is gorgeous for it as well.
Last time Raiden went to camp, we were having fun sending him funny messages that said we were renting out his room to a polar bear, and that the polar bear had made a mess in there with stinky fish. When he returned home, he found a photo of the bear on his bed, literally ON HIS BED. I had found a great polar bear photo and photoshopped (is that a real word?) the bear onto a photo of his bed... He now has that photo hanging in his room.
Well. This year we sent a not saying the bear was back. And then we sent a note to Teegan, saying Raiden's polar bear had brought a friend, and that there is a Grizzly Bear hanging out in Teegan's room. It is now time to search for new photos!
Our anniversary? Well, we went by the hospital where Geoff will be doing his RN preceptorship to get his ID, and as we got off the elevator we ran into my clients from this past birth! That was cool. Then we did not get his ID, because the ID security guy could not find Geoff's paperwork...
We wandered and enjoyed Whole Foods- what a wonderful place. I need one next door. Then we wandered Bellevue Square for a few hours. The Discovery Channel stores are closing! ACK! Real bummer there. We were amazed at how many things there are really freakishly over-priced. Ah well. Then onto the Cheesecake Factory for the yummiest pesto pizza ever. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
What else? We went to Target, I now am the proud owner of a drying rack! No more hanging my shirts on the backs of chairs! Yay for me! We then went over to the mall here in town, and reserved the latest Harry Potter for Raiden's birthday. And we ordered dessert to go from Macaroni Grill. The bummer is that the cake was supposed to have this great whipped topping and they forgot it! Grrrrrrrrr...
And then we went to bed on time. A serious shocker.
