At the park for a picnic and play and our pre-teens are playing ds's in the sun.
Party #1, the moon wasn't quite full but we had a nice walk anyways. We read stories before it got dark and then drank our tea and cookies/Mooncakes once it was dark.
Party #2. Lots of little ones there. Great times. We really did a great job with our lanterns. They were awesome. Already gathering ideas for next year.
What an awesome photo! It was dark, so I had no idea what I'd get.
Ok, we're off center, it's dark, there's a finger on the lens and Jia looks stunned but it's a family picture and they are pretty rare since I take all of our photos.
Party #3, Grampa Al's Birthday and just in case we didn't honor the moon quite enough we stopped on the way home to gaze once more. Little spot over Eric's shoulder :)
Our fall weather has just been fabulous. Weather was perfect for Autumn Moon. We managed three parties in a row. What fun. Tiring though.
Eric is back to our roof and he got three days in this past weekend. I can't fathom where he's going to get enough time to finish the roof. Sure we've saved a ton with him doing the job but it's going sooooo slow.
Ok, and the big news of the day, Eric and I just signed our agreement with Sunrise to start another homestudy/adoption. The envelope goes in the mail today. What took so long to get to this point you ask? Dropped balls. Fear and confusion. Lack of direction. General hesitation on both sides. Marg thought we should wait for his file and then we'd have three months to get logged in with China. Eric and I have decided to take a huge leap of faith and are preparing to get our dossier ready to send and are crossing our fingers for his match. So, yes, we're working towards a specific child adoption, hoping that Little Guy will become our son. No guarantees, that's the hard part. Well, that and gathering the $ needed to make this happen. We're all cautiously excited. Wish I had more news to share than that.
