December

Wow, I can't believe it's been already over a month since my last update. Sorry about that!  Unfortunetly, nothing new has happened since then either.  Our social worker is on maternity leave and I feared when she left for leave, we would not hear anything and so far that is the case.  I think she comes back in January sometime.  Looking forward to her return. She always kept us so updated on birth moms status in the agency, etc.  I feel really dis-connected from the agency right now and I hate that feeling.

The holidays have kept us busy these past few weeks with hosting Thanksgiving, putting up the Christmas tree and decorations, and planning holiday parties and cooking decorating.  I have a feeling December will too fly by.  It was a little dis-heartening putting up 4 stockings once again this year.  Every year we take the stockings down I hope the next year we can put up 5 stockings.  Guess this isn't our year for that either :/ 

I have to admit after waiting 1.5 years now it's harder to remain Faithful and the dreaded "it's not going to happen to us" feelings are setting in.  We've planned a beach vacation for late February and I didn't even think twice about not purchasing the "trip insurance."  We've been waiting 1.5 years, like it's really going to happen the one week we are on a trip...right?  Negativity has set in unfortunetly.  Still trying to remain as positive as we can be at this point and truly Greatful for what we already do have.  Two beautiful, high energy, crazy boys!

If I dont' post before Christmas, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
