Just look at this beautiful boy...

Some new pics of Tejan.
How could you not love this face?


I've thought quite a bit about the process of having this boy in our home and the eventual saying goodbye to him. He is not up for adoption - so there is no way we can keep him.

How will I manage to let him go, after feeding him and loving him and tucking him in every night?

I can't answer that.

God will get me through it. I know He will. But I know that my heart may get broken, just a bit, in the process.

I just know I'm supposed to be his American mommy while he is here. So I'll do that the best I can.

That's all I can do. So that's what I'll do.

And I'll trust God to heal my heart when the time comes...

    I am not familiar with the story about Tejan.
    How wonderful that he will have a home with you while he is here!

    I haven't been here for ages- and it feels good to catch up. Tejan is just beautiful and I pray that he is soaking up all the blessings God is giving him through your family- just as you are with him being there. This is jsut wonderful.

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
