Not a whole lot to say....

So was I smoking crack when I thought we would have moved in to our new pad by late September and then traveled to Ethiopia to pick up our little Munch in, say, late November? If that's the case, then I swear I was unaware of the substance abuse. But that must have been it seeing as how it doesn't even look like we'll begin building until late August. Not to mention I saw online the current processing date at the Colorado CIS center is September. September. SEPTEMBER!!!

So, if this is all true (minus the crack smoking), then the only next step I can truly take is the one in which I start focusing on the positives about both of these entire processes. One- we should be "for sure" moved in to our new place prior to travel. This means we won't have to put our little one through any more of the rigors of house moving. Two- we should be settled in our new pad. Because of this, we'll know how to move around the kitchen during those late night "we're getting accustomed to living in a new time zone" transitions. Three- we'll be able to save more money for cutsie cloth diapers. Four- perhaps we won't have to completely dress Munch up in mittens, long underwear, hats, scarves, etc. anytime we want to go outside. The focus can be on cute t-shirts and baby Croc's. The way I see it, the more I can set my eyes on that lovely brown skin, the better. Five- if we travel in spring, we have a higher chance of being able to fly home and not getting stuck at some airport due to weather delays.

At least it's a beginning....
