Life's Longing for Itself: October 2012
http://lifeslongingforitself.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Life's Longing for Itself. Your children are not your children; They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. -Kahlil Gibran. Tuesday, October 2, 2012. We've got our hands full over here:) The shelter sent me a text at 10:00pm on a Sunday. These three had shown up at the shelter and all their cages are full. Would we take them? Looks like some serious foster cuteness, eh? We will have them for three weeks, and then they will be old enough for adoption. Magoo, what is 27 divided by 9?

Aren't you all proud of me? I finally caught up! I post most of my updates to Facebook, so this blog is a second thought. Since there isn't much going on with the adoption, I've added some stories about the family this time. Thumbs up or down? Links to this post. June 2012 We needed some good news. Extreme weight l...

Even with taking out about $200 or so for supplies, we've made between $700 and $800 just in salsa sales. That's amazing. Our next huge financial hurdle will be the agency/contract fees. These are about $11,000 and we will need to pay them before we will be considered for K. If you had asked me two weeks ago if I thought it was possible for us...Click...

The journey of 8,000 miles begins with.FAITH. Our journey across the world to Africa and our sons. Aidan Birhanu Miller Robinson. Thursday, July 7, 2011. Aidan Birhanu Miller Robinson. I'm going to try to update more often. For now, though here's some things about Aidan. Aidan's 11 months old (he'll be one year on the 29th of this month). He's a happy baby who normally wakes up with a smile on his face first thing in the morning. He loves his mommy and daddy, but mostly daddy. They're the best of buds.

Friday, May 24, 2013. Social Security Faux Pas. We took the kids today to apply for their SSNs. Why can things never just go as planned? I had high hopes for today and instead it was an experience that left a lot to be desired but makes for a great blogpost. Me being the proactive mom that I am ( totally stretching the truth here) thought it would be a great idea to bring their leap pads with us so they could sit like good little boys and watch videos while we waited. That was great in theory. Yes we did...

Wednesday, April 24, 2013. My kid's a Genius. We play a lot with play-doh around here and usually the boys just like to pound on it, roll it up in a ball,. Try to eat it. Or mix the colors together ( mixing the colors use to give me all sorts of anxiety and drove my neurotic self mad as a hatter, but now I refuse to look and just block it out, if you can't see it, it isn't happening, right? But I did get pictures of the candle blow, just to prove to all non-believers that yes my kid is an Einstein. Needl...
