It has. It’s hard to believe, but December 20th, last year was on a Friday and I had just gotten home from picking up Leighton from his last day of preschool before winter break and Clint wasn’t subbing that day and we were all in the kitchen making lunch. I remember turning to Clint and […]
MoreI sent Edric’s package at the end of November but because he visited the agency a few days before the end of the month he won’t actually get it until he goes in this month. We were finally able to include the last two pieces to his tool set. He now has a complete set! […]
MoreSo 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 […]
MoreSo 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 […]
MoreIf 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” […]

MoreWow! 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 […]
MoreI just got Edric’s 9th package mailed off earlier this week to travel with a family this weekend. We got photos of Edric last week and showed him playing with the rings and clutching the photo book that we sent in package #8. He should get this package at the end of August when he […]
MoreHas it really already been 8 packages? Wow. I’m getting quite good at stuffing things in a zip lock baggie. Sometimes I worry if I am sending the right things or if he likes them or if I am running out of ideas to send. However I got Edric’s 14 month photos last week and […]
MoreDear Sweet Edric- Hey little guy. You are growing and growing. I loved seeing your smile and your face light up in the last set of photos we got. I can only imagine the giggles that you had as well. I have to be honest. As much as I love photo day and love getting […]
