Kari,

Thanks for your note on my blog and the compliment! I'm trying to keep the blog as a special record for my children to have for the future, so I asked Kim to make it pretty. I am glad to have found someone is at a similar stage too! I am anxious for a quick journey, but also know that I need to we need to wait for path were meant to follow, so I am learning patience on this second adoption!

I'd love to keep in touch!
