Nothing

Nada, silent.  Most likely not coming until next week and still no word on a cut off.  Hopefully some rumors will surface later this week. 

Checking In

Checking into RQ several times a day now.  There was a rumor early in the week that CCAA was almost done matching.  Then we heard they might be here the week of the 4th.  Now we've heard from the Spanish RQ that she feels next week and that they should go to 8th or 9th of May.  So both RQ's on the same page.  I was hoping for something higher than a R1 or R2 rumor before the weekend.  Such fun!  I can't believe after all these years it's finally our turn.  The kids ask several times a day if we're sure there is a baby coming. 

Camping is going well.  Kids are having a blast.  They are busy going from site to site with each other.  They've all taken off and I'm enjoying a bit of peace on the computer. 

False rumor

Ok, the first rumor has been confirmed as a mistake.  Breath.  We're back to waiting. 

Ug, an icky rumor

Rumor yesterday that the UK says the next batch is Apr. 30th.  Really hoping this one isn't real. 

Piano Recitals

So proud of our girls.

Nothing

It's not time for rumors but the nothing is hard.  How many times a day is reasonable to check Rumor Queen?

We went with friends for a walk at Holland Creek and it was really lovely there.  When we got home I was rushing around getting the kitchen cleaned, feeding animals, organizing the next day and then looked at my family all reading and it was just so sweet and calm.  Calm is good now that Isabel is around, we treasure the calm moments!

Walking Isabel

In our effort to train Isabel asap we've been out walking almost everyday.  We've been on quite a few fabulous hikes lately.  Making an effort to see as much of our valley as we can.  We visited an old Chinese graveyard last week and it was really quite lovely.
