This is so hard.

I have not looked at this blog since Malia's birthday, May 9, over a month ago.  It's just too hard. This waiting is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.  I don't understand it, but I know we are getting closer.  I hope so anyway. Scott has done a fantastic job on Malia's room.  When her furniture arrives, I will post some pictures.  I'm looking forward to our adoption shower next Saturday.  My sister is coming!!  So excited to see her.  She is taking a weekend away from her fabulous summer excursion on Martha's Vineyard to come celebrate Malia with us.  She and Malia's uncle DJ are working on Martha's Vineyard until September.  They have the coolest jobs!

No news yet.

Waiting.....Again...

Once again we are in a phase of gut-wrenching waiting. We are hoping everything is progressing normally and we will hear something about our court date later this month and will hopefully travel early July.  We haven't heard anything though, which we hope means we are on track.  I've been pretty productive since we returned home and have gotten Malia's room painted and new baseboards, wainscoting and chair rail installed.  It definitely looks like a little girl's room now.  We have some furniture on the way and it's all going to take shape very soon.  I planned on having things to work on and prepare for to distract us during this time and we need the distraction more than we had anticipated.  This just plain stinks to have her there and us here.  We continue to pray for quick progress and the need to buy plane tickets very soon.
