I can't get rid of this damn cold. I played basketball yesterday because I couldn't resist. Man was I bad, I'm blaming it on the cold. Anyhow, I don't think it was smart to play because my nose seems more stuffed up than yesterday.

We have been trying to plan to get back east for my grandmothers 90th birthday celebration in mid August. It doesn't look good. I think we have decided on going back for Christmas, when I have to take the time off anyhow and when there are possibly more flights available.

We still have pictures floating around from the failed adoption we went through recently. I've finally become pretty detached from that nightmare, thank God. I look at the pictures and it is like it was a different lifetime. Maybe we should throw the stuff out. Anyhow, as far as an adoption goes we are still waiting it out and believing that the right thing will happen someday. What we do know is that the next time something happens we need to trust our instincts.

I think I hear The Kid rousing. Man is she cute. Sometimes I just go into her room while she is sleeping and watch her. It would seem that there is not much to watch but when she is awaking she is just a blur of motion so seeing her resting so peacefully is a joy. Eating is currently our biggest problem with her...

The Kid is up!
