Got Passport!!

Guess who has a passport!! I just knew it wasn't going to take four weeks. I didn't expect five days, but I'm all for good surprises! Our agency said to still expect the baby to come mid to late Aug. I'm thinking mid! They think they have an escort for him. I was trying to get an idea of how much notice we would have for his arrival so I asked if we would have two weeks...and she said "Oh no, they might call you on a Monday and say he's coming on Wed.!!! You should expect only a few days notice." Not expecting that answer. I felt this overwhelming panic to get myself to Target! On Thursday we have a meeting over the phone with our agency to go over all of the things that we need to have ready/do when he comes...medical papers for our doctor, what do we do at the airport etc...I finally feel like this is really happening!

Questions on Making Comments:

I have had a few people ask how to make comments. It's super easy. I made the super pitiful one below the crowded swimming pool video to make sure that was actually true. At the end of the daily blog it says O Comments (how sad!) :

1. Click on the word "Comments"
2. A comment box will come up. Write your comments and sign your name or be anonymous (why would you do that?)
3. Below the box it gives you a few choices. I have a blogger account so I use the first choice, but that is not necessary. Simply click on "anonymous" (no need for passwords)
4. Click on "publish your comments"

That's it!! Now I can know what you are thinking. : )

Ryan loves soccer! He has had several great coaches since we started last year. His current coach is just great with the kids.

I'm so happy to have a picture of his new shirt. Once we got home from soccer I gave him a bowl of raspberries (which I specifically and clearly told him not to get all over his new shirt). Well...you know the rest of the story.

He's looking so grown up!

What a fun surprise at the pond! After soccer we walked over to the pond and found a mama and her little babies.

Ryan has learned to love going to get his haircut...

because they have lollipops!

After many, many months of showers, Ryan is back to baths. Of course I loved my fifteen minute break while Harv and Ryan showered, but truth be told: boys need to soak! I don't know how, don't want to, he gets dirt in so many crevices, but he does, so a bath is good.

Clean shaven, just like Mommy likes!
