Today is day #45 since our dossier paperwork was hand-delivered in Beijing. Any day now we will receive our LOA. Waiting is so hard to do! I'm getting so restless.
I came home from work yesterday evening to find the upstairs bedroom/closet rennovations had begun. Matt is all done with his teaching job for the school year, and he's pumped to dive into his (our) next rennovation on our 111-year old farm house. We are building bunk beds for the girls and redesigning the walk-in closet so both of them have room for their belongings upstairs. So I came home to find Madeline's clothes sprawled everywhere in the upstairs hallway. In one day, he drew up blueprints for the new closet, cleaned it out, measured it and made a shopping list for Lowe's today. He's not only an amazing husband and father, he's a very good handyman and can build or fix just about anything. Once the girls are happily moved to their new (larger) room, we can start on preparing Elliott's new room.
What do 65, 72, 96, 98, and 62 all have in common? They are the 'high' temps this week. It has been an absolute rollercoster of weather this week. My flowers have no idea what is going on. Some flowers, like my irises, seem to have extended bloom times. Two of my peonies bloomed and faded away within just a couple of days, and the 'wild' peony field across the street had about half of it's blooms this year. I love flowers and I cherish my gardening time.
