OK everyone - I have started the postings but they are not done!!! Too much, too much to do. Have to go make wands for Molly's birthday party on Friday, clean the house, get school supplies ready, cook dinner, pay bills, get ready for Molly's last post-placement social worker visit, send off quilt squares, make a few presents, wrap Molly's presents (and something for Faith too so she won't cry), call my parents about when we are visiting, get ready for a zoo trip (decide which stroller to take-just to push around without Faith in it), read with Molly before her one hour assessment before school starts (Yes - a one hour assessment for a first grader, whew!), catch up on blog reading and blogging (yes, yes, I plan to be better at this, make it my mid-years resolution), find some healthy recipes so we can eat better (kids included), pick those senior pictures to start printing (see end of this for a glimpse of Nathan's senior pics by a wonderful photographer and adoptive dad), and yes, just sleeping and eating have to be put in there somewhere, along with laundry, baths, etc.
Now I know that you Moms out there have a list just as long !!! Say a prayer for all of us that we enjoy the fruits of our labor - happy families!! Take care and stay tuned! More coming soon for July and early August!
Nathan's senior Pics - just a few from the photographer on his flickerstream. Right now Nathan's pic is the first pic on there - see the Right side bar to see them all!

Princess Sleeps
Faith has been so into the princess thing since her birthday in February when her Aunt Cheryl gifted her with her most precious possessions - a crown, fancy shoes, a princess skirt, wand, jewelry and purse. She has branched out to wearing other things, but we literally have days and days where she wears a tutu and crown everywhere she goes (and yes, that includes the bathroom, shopping at Target, going to the library - I mean everywhere). If she wasn't so darn cute, we would never get away with it!! Everywhere we go, we leave people smiling. I guess that's not such a bad thing, is it.
As Mike says, she marches to the sound of her own drummer. So here is a picture of the princess going to sleep for the night. She is unable to go to sleep without the skirt on. Do you know how difficult it is to wrestle a tutu off a 3 year old while asleep? She also requires two green pillows to sleep on (and yes, they must be the green ones), her pink blanket (with the soft side turned up only), and her "Mama" bear. Her "Mama" bear is the first lovey she attached to, and Faith does not usually put her comfort fingers in her mouth unless she is holding Mama bear. She has a newer "Baby" bear (so named by Faith after many changes) that matches Mama bear. Faith can instantly tell them apart, and will reject Baby bear to sleep with (even while she is asleep). Baby bear was bought as an alternate, but obviously will never replace Mama. On this evening she relented and took off her shoes before bed. As you can see, her "sparkly" shoes are a bit worn down, no sparkles left on the toes they've been worn so much.
Like I said, too darn cute!
