instaFriday. [yeah, i know.]

okay, let's just be honest.  i'm never going to get to an instaFriday on friday again.
i'm good with that....just putting it out there.  these pictures have been sitting here on the
screen waiting & waiting in one of my open tabs.  but, for really good, awesome,
exciting reasons.  i'll probably tell you why in just a minute!

check out that fashionable excavating!  miss thang knows how to get her work done in style.

snuck out for a lunch date with matt after a meeting we had to be at.  this is our favorite

little restaurant and you cannot beat their box lunches.  something different everyday,

but always great and not much more than you'd spend at a drive-thru.  have i said that

i love that my husband works from home?  i do.

i know i owe you a picture of the front doors on the new house.

i promise i'll get to that.  i did go with majority vote on the color.

will show you soon[ish]!

here's a peek at the [not yet grouted] kitchen backspash.

hard to tell, but the counter tops are grey and the cabinets are white like the tile--

not off-white as they appear.  it's all coming along!

 yesterday i took the big girls out to the nail salon & for ice cream.  today, i

took this little one out for some mom time.  tomorrow morning it will be clay's turn.

 we like to do individual time with the kids & try to be intentional about it, 

but do you know when it is absolutely necessary for me to have it?  as the

last part of my nesting.  that's right. when i'm 8 1/2 months pregnant and i've done

all those other crazy fun nesting things...i long for time with each of our kiddos.

and now?  well, i feel like this journey is at that point, too.

the planning, waiting, chasing, waiting, going & coming are [God-willing]

almost done.  we have that very important date scheduled again for the end of this week.

i look forward to telling you all much more about it all when i'm able....how we met our boys,

how we 'knew', some of the journey and more how this date coming up truly is

a miracle.  for now, here i go again.  back to the other side of the world.

  trusting that it will be just as it should.

prayerful that this will be His time for us to be together as a family of nine.
