Please Help Us

This is Pippin and Steve.  We found our Mom's blog and learned how to type with our paws.  We are ready to share.  We think it's time for a human baby around the house.  Can you please help????

I might be as sweet as a banana split, but I'm only dressed like this because of my Mom.

I refuse to even look at the camera.

Nagging Feelings

I've been surrounded more than usual lately by many wonderful friends that are blessed to be pregnant or having babies.  I'm happy for them because I truly know what a miracle pregnancy and childbirth can be.  Yet, I have also been feeling a little more down than usual about the fact that I will never be pregnant or give birth to a child.  Then it hit me . . .

Had our IVF cycle been successful, we would have a baby now.  Oh well.

Why, Hello

I know that I've been absent from bloggy land for a while.  Sorry if you've been waiting with bated breath for my return.  As I told you in August, my brother was in the hospital.  And he STILL is there.  Thank God he is going to live, but he is still in the hospital trying to heal and regain strength.  Thanks for you prayers.  It's okay to keep them coming.

Work (school) has been so incredibly busy for me.  Between teaching a new grade level and meetings and changes and everything else happening, I am SPENT.  I am blessed to have such an amazing DH who understands that I'm exhausted from work, hospital visits/time, and my commute.  After all of that, I spent a few waking moments with him as I can.

On the baby front . . . we are still not parents . . . yet.  After we finally complete the mounds of paperwork for adoption, we will officially sign with an agency, get background checks, fingerprints, homestudy, and THEN be ready to become family.

That's all we want.
