MONDAY, MONDAY

Highlights of our morning...

We are all up early, except for LG who uncharacteristically is under the covers in KF's little bed. Lots of action this a.m. with all the packing up and sorting through, and me adding necessities to the pile of kitchen-related stuff. DM+MK have not yet visited their 6-week temporary home in West Chicago/Wheaton and while they've been assured it's fully furnished and stocked, no one is quite sure how that translates.

LENDING A HAND, OR TWO

MK+DM are moving out for a few weeks--about an hour away--and tomorrow their good friends are coming from Oklahoma to visit. This couple spent several years in Slovakia with CCCI and adopted one child from Oklahoma and one from SK. Our little girls are very excited their friends will be visiting, and the friends will be excited to speak Slovak again.

BLOGGING IN THE WEE HOURS...

Princess LG

Thank goodness for a spare pair of wings!

2 Lady Bugs!

DM engages the little girls in some pumpkin carving this a.m. CA and LG brought us Country Donuts so we are all hopped up on sugar. An appropriate way to begin Halloween...

LOVING AND LEAVING AUSTIN: part 5

S-I-G-H-H-H... Do we really have to go? Yep! And, the two little girls are already at our house and waiting. In a bit over a week we drive to Omaha to be with JA + LE. Life is good.

New Braunfels

Y'all can go to hell. I'm goin' to Texas.

-Davy Crockett-

Yes, I know he is not the true Davy Crockett, but he is certainly better looking that the real guy and who has a photo anyway?

I'm up rather early--finally--and TL has the coffee hot for us. Great host! It's rainy and humid today. We're going downtown, doing some errands, and maybe driving to New Braunfels and Gruen ("Green" is both the translation from German and the local pronunciation.).
