THE THREE W'S

I guess you are all wondering what the 3 w's are all about. It really is nothing big, nothing that will majorly surprise anyone. The 3 W's are......Wondering What to Write! During the days my mind receives several fleeting thoughts of many interesting, sometimes questionable things to write about. But today, when I finally sat down to my computer, I could remember none of them. Does this mean that I am beginning to become forgetful? Maybe. Or maybe it's just the normal mind of a busy 40 something mom trying to maintain some sanity in a crazy, sometimes chaotic household.

This week included some posts that weighed quite heavily on the heart so I want to keep this early Saturday evening post pretty light.

I had a wonderful chance to meet a fellow RQ er this afternoon. For those of you who are not a part of the adoption community, RQ stands for Rumor Queen. It is a well known, very large internet community of pre-adoptive and post-adoptive parents. Its membership exceed 5000 and each member makes for a very informative and sincere support group. To check it out, just click on the link to the right.

Anyway, our daughters met and the mom is wonderful person. I won't post any names to keep her anonymity unless told otherwise. It took our girls about an hour to warm up to each other but when they did it looked as if they had a great time. I am looking forward to hopefully meeting again with our girls.

Next, I want to thank those of you who have left comments on the blog. I appreciate all of them and I am so glad that there are people actually reading this.

To Erin, thank you for reading. The playground is Jenkintown playground and I think your kids would love the zip line.

To Karen, thank you for getting ready to secure your furniture. It makes all of our work worth it to hear that people are tethering their furniture. To Leslie and El, signs of Katie are everywhere. I love to hear when others feel her presence as well. She's everywhere and lives in all of our hearts. Thank you all.

Now for some random pics from the week. Some may look repetitive but I couldn't help but post them. Last Sunday we attended our pastor's retirement party. His name is Father Otto and after 23 years will be retiring. Father Otto married B and myself back in 1991. He then baptized our 3 children. He was there the night that Katie was killed and actually went back to that hell house and helped pick up the pieces and clean up the room. Something that no one should have had to do. He then had to endure the agony of doing her funeral but became an active member of The Katie Elise Lambert Foundation.

He then was able to perform S's baptism and watching him walk her down the aisle during the ceremony was such a bittersweet moment. God was taking care of us.

We will miss Father Otto.

So, pictures are from the party and a recent baseball game. The little girl with S is one of the coaches daughter.

The woman standing with BB is my MIL, Joan.

Enjoy.
