Taking Steps

So I’ve been looking forward to writing this post for a number of months and today I finally get to do it! We took the first official step forward since accepting our referral to bringing Edric home! Today our paperwork was requested by the Korean Agency to begin translating it. It is a small step […]

Edric’s 11th Package

So I’m a little behind (maybe because I haven’t blogged for a couple of months?) and I have some catching up to do. This blog is called “Hiking Mommy” and I do actually have some hikes to blog about (with and without kids), but those will come in the days to come. Today I’m catching […]

Forever August…

If you happen to stop by our house any time in the next 9 months you might notice that the calendar is permanently set on August 2015. You will probably wonder why on earth August? But if you take a step back and look…you will see the bright eyes and smiling face of “Mr August” […]

Mommy and Me Gymnastics

On Thursday mornings you can find me and Caedmon in the van headed to “nastics” as he calls it. On the way I often ask him “Caedmon, what are we going to do at gymnastics today?” To which he replies in his 2 year old voice “ummm, go down slide, do butterfly and jump in […]

On The Same Page

We are 3 weeks into this homeschooling adventure. All in all I think it is going pretty well. Leighton is loving it and Caedmon is having fun playing with trains or reading or whatever during the class time and I am learning how to balance my attention between the two of them. Clint and I […]

Dear Edric #5

Dear Sweet Edric- How are you doing? You are growing and growing. I love getting your photos each month but they also make my heart ache. I want to be with you and watch you run from place to place and see your eyes light up. The last progress report said that you pretty much […]

Tutus and Slippers

Yes I signed up for an adult ballet class. But no I do not wear a tutu. I thought I should clarify those two things before I got much further. It’s been a long time since I did ballet. A. Long. Time. Like I think 3rd or 4th grade. I’m not exactly sure why I […]

Edric’s 10th Package

Wow! We are already at 10 packages. Praying we don’t get to 20, and still hoping that we won’t reach 15….. As each month goes on, I gather stuff all month long and add it to our cabinet above the computer. That way I can pull stuff down and put together a package and have […]

Tri #3

So I think I’ve officially been bitten by the Tri-Bug. I completed my 3rd sprint tri last weekend and had a blast. I got to do it with 3 fun friends which made it all the more fun. I had moved on from my goal being to just finish to actually doing better on each […]

Adoption Update

I’m looking forward to actually having something to update everyone about. Right now it’s kind of status quo. We are still waiting. There has been quite a bit of movement in Korea recently, and a number of families that I have met have gotten exit permissions approved and are waiting for court dates. I have […]
