reminiscing my romance...

the moon was high in a mountain sky. two little lovebirds caught my eye. they chose each other, and I wondered why. no one told them what was right or wrong, perhaps they just liked each other’s song. over the hills and through those woods, alone for so long; there I stood. pondering when or how or why, but one day you caught my eye. my heart was beating fast and hard, and I knew that it was the start. i took your hand and we took turns leading. how easily I could have missed this chance meeting. years down our road, i contemplate and thank the stars above i wasn't too late.

i love you.

on our way...

as the kids and i embark on our tour de south east, otherwise known as the lampoon vacation of 2010, we are also actively opening new doors as we close old one's. our home in charlotte has sold, and we are preparing to break ground on the house in pennsylvania. as two children and their boundless energy just about wear me out daily, i am happily reminded that there will soon be a third. we are officially contracted with our adoption agency and preparing our dossier documents for translation for haiti! yay!!!

what else could possibly be on our plates at the moment, of course, yes - that's right - we're spending the summer traveling. we spent a week in pennsylvania with dad, and have just finished up the dc leg of our trip. thank you moira, kris, kate, maria, charlie, liam, becca, fin, ellen, ella, anne, doug, kimrey, and kiran for a wonderful couple of days with friends! we really appreciate your hospitality and warm hugs! now that we are going to be closer, we are really looking forward to seeing you all more often!

we're in raleigh for a few days to visit more friends and then on to orlando and sarasota. then a brief stop through st. augustine and charlotte before we land in pittsburgh to finish the summer off and prepare for school.

in the mean time, more dolls are in the works! i'll post photos soon! big hugs to all keeping up with us this summer!

we BUSTED A MOVE!

just prior to our trek north we had a rad little part-ay! check it!
