I am feeling very blue today.I feel a piece of me is missing.That person is a sweet 3 yr old babe waiting in Africa for his Mommy and Daddy.I find myself looking at his pictures everyday.I cant wait to hold him and love him.To see his face in person and tell him how much we love him.
This sweet child who does not know he has a mommy and daddy and brothers and sisters who already think he is the greatest.Who buy things for him with their own money.Brian age 16 who was on the fence about us adopting Elijah has now decided this little man is his brother and is so excited about getting him home.
I think of him all the time ...I think about how i will react when i get their.I know i want to hold him and cuddle him but also know i dont want to scare my little man.I know i will be so emotional and wont mean to be.
I look at all his little clothes and toys i have bought him and cant wait to see him in those clothes and playing with those toys.I see his highchair and its wierd when set at the dining room table and look at the empty highchair knowing someone is missing.I cannot wait Until the day he is here...I love this baby so much....I love you Elijah mommy cant wait to give you kisses.

FRUSTRATED!
We are still waiting for KBI ughh.It has been in their hands over 2 weeks now.I am irritated as this holding our adoption.This is all we need to have the homsetudy done.When we adopted Landen it took 6 weeks to get it back.Its crazy.They kept saying it was done when i called them..come to find out it was setting on someones desk ughhh.
I want to move on and get it done so we can get Elijah home.I have never been one for patience I am a person that wants things done and now.I have always been this way.But waiting for weeks on end for something is CRAZY.I would rather be waiting for court and such in country then waiting on Kansas to get it together.
Ok i had to vent,,,I am not feeling well so this may be what has triggerd my frustartions.I had a tooth pulled yesterday so i just am not feeling well today.That piled on top of me not so patient waiting on Kbi to do their job just irritates me.

HE IS HOME!
I picked him up a little before 2 pm today at the airport.I was so happy to see him after 2 weeks apart.Landen was real excited and babbled the whole way home adding Daddy to every sentence he said.That was the only word we could make out was daddy lol.We got home and had to get ready for a bbq at my Cousins house.She was having a BBQ slash drinking party for her husbands 40th birthday.Michael and i are not drinkers but we enjoyed the company and the good food and our bottles of water.My teens showed up for a bit and then came back home(we live 3 blocks from my cousin).Landen had a blast they have a kid pool and all the little
ones were in it he wanted to be too and jumped in shoes and all lol.So i stripped him to his diaper and let him have at it.Luckily i had a change of clothes in his diaper bag.
I am happy hes home.Since he was in iraq we neither one like to be apart that long anymore.Now we are home... the girls are in their room playing twister and my 16 yr old over at the neighbors playing ps 2 with their son.Landen just went to sleep for the night and all is quiet.Michael is watching some tv at the moment and im getting my computer time.what a wonderful day to have our family healthy and husband back home with us where he belongs.

QUIET EVENING
I am enjoying the quiet time this evening, All the kids are at frineds house.Landen is here with me and is snacking on goldfish crackers at the moment.I done talked to Michael on the phone and am patiently waiting until saturday to pick him up at the airport.
I had to stop at walmart and get diapers for Landen..who can resist the baby isle?I was looking for certain toys for Elijah. Lights and sounds toys i am sure he would like.so i got him a V TECH baby happy lights bear.a cell phone that talks and lights up.A stuffed looking animal that ya pull the string and it vibrates and a book that crinkles and squeeks.I also found an adorable short outfit with khaki shorts and baby blue hawian like shirt.I love shopping for him.Of course i cant leave Landen out so he got a new ball.
No News on the adoption front..I hope social worker gets KBI check back soon so we can have a completed homestudy,Dossier is with the agency they are waiting for the homestudy.I hope it hurries i am ready to get fingerprint appointment with UCIS.I am so ready to meet our little man.He has those cheeks that are so kissable such a beautiful little boy he is.I am dying to hold him in my arms.I pray to hear from our social worker soon that she ha recieved our KBI.Until then...

Having a bad day!
My day started out good.Went to work ran some errands and came home.When i got home everything went to HECK.Brian did not mow the lawn or take out the bag of trash i had waiting for him at the back door.Linda did none of her chores either and wanted to whine at me how bored she was.Rebecca said.. i been lazy today.One look at the house and i had to agree they all had LAZY idis.
Then i got a call... Our camper was vandalized at the lake...I loaded the kids up and off to the lake we went..Sure enough...the door was kicked in and the storage compartment was all kicked and busted in.So tomorrow my camper will be pulled home to fix the things that were tore up and we are talking selling it now.Mainly because we dont have a truck to pull it.Thats why we pay to keep it at the lake for the summer months.we will buy a newer one that we can drive.
On top of all this I MISS MY HUSBAND.I miss him so so much.I cannot wait until staurday comes to pick him up at the airport.I am also bummed as i have not heard a word on the adoption end..I sure hope tomorrow is much better then today.I am so tired i dont sleep well with Michael gone.That and all i think about is Elijah.I worry about him and wonder if he is happy.
I been trying to teach Landen to say Elijah...and all he says is BABY lol. Ok baby will do as Elijah will be the baby in the house.i even tried to get him to say baby Eli.Nope just BABY its cute.I just dont know how Landen will do when Elijah is home he has been the baby for almost 4 yrs now.Landen will always be my baby.
