Recap From Our Trip


I have been recovering from our busy trip last week and things have not stopped since we have been home. I think I need a vacation to recover from my vacation Ha! Well N.Y. was fun and very interesting. I guess people probably say the same thing about L.A. I was so excited to see everything. We took the train from D.C. to N.Y. and it was a nice 31/2 hour relaxing ride. When we got off at Penn station I was overwhelmed. So many unique people swarming the streets. Jason said his favorite part of the trip was seeing my face when we walked off the train. It took me a few days to adjust. I think in the few days we were in N.Y. we probably walked a hundred miles. My legs were so sore. I Loved seeing Rockefeller center, Central Park, ground zero and eating amazing food. I was so happy to get the opportunity to join Jason. He travels so much and we don't usually get the opportunity to join him so it was great.

Yesterday we had the hardest day yet with Hannah. She was acting whiny and acting out and wanting to be held every two min and then let down and nothing could make her happy. It was hard on me emotionally and physically. Then today she was back to her normal self. It is so hard to figure out sometimes. She is getting a molar, we just got back from a trip, she was tired, we moved her into a new bed, is it adoption related? All these things go through my mind and when they are two they can't tell you so it's even harder. I was thankful to have a do over today and lay all things at Jesus's feet. We have been enjoying going through the easter story with our children. It was emotional for me today as we read how Jesus washed his disciples feet and to think how humbling of an act that was. What a beautiful picture of Christs love for us. I'm so thankful for the gift and sacrifice he gave.

  2. Its so hard to know what's "adoption related" and what is normal, whiny two year old behavior? since its so hard to say, its always best to just continue to nurture the relationship and know that God stands in the space between you & Hannah. And loves you both SO very much!!
