Adoption Update: A Few In The Works
Ok, I’m thinking I might look back at this day and say “wow, I sure got excited for nothing” but then again, I could look back and say “that was the day I first thought of you my child”. Just got a couple of referrals to look at and they seem great. Nothing to be done unless the birth mom’s say they like me and pick me, then I can dive into questions and investigating history and all that.
BUT….the exciting part is I actually have my profile out to some parents and with any luck they will like me.
More to come….. 
Goodbye Abd’E Hakim, It Was An Honor to Know You
We met you in Egypt last November and we listened to your wisdom and stories about the ancient ones of Egypt. You held the history of the indigenous ones, you held the wisdom. Your smile and you chuckle at my jokes made me giggle. It was an honor to be in your presence and be welcomed in your home in Cairo to hear your stories. The world is dimmer without you here, we recently learned of your passing in the last few weeks.
Until we meet again Hakim, Shukran.
Namaste,
Kris, Trisha, Alie & Christina

Dreams Last Night
Last night I dreampt I was hanging out with the Obamas. It was fun but I hope when the Republican Convention comes around I don’t dream about haning out with McCain.
Starbuck’s Cup Zen of the Day
Sometimes the “The Way I See It” on the sides of Starbuck’s cup are very zen….like this one from Desi Di Nardo (Author and Poet from Toronto)
The way I see it
Isn’t necessarily
The way you see it
Or the way it is
Or ought to be
What’s more important
Is that we’re all
Looking for it
And a way to see it

The Best “Bleeeep”
Waiting for me to get a baby, while you wait, enjoy this clip:
Checking In…Anything New?
Nope…
Home study is done and the ball is in my lawyer’s court but I can’t seem to get my lawyer to call me back. It’s been a week and a half and several emails/phone calls but no response. I hope I picked a good one, she comes very recommended. I think it’s not too much to ask that someone call me back within 24 hours. Unless that person is on vacation or something. 24 hours…..it’s my rule at least.

Whoa...easy, I'm not the one with the smashing camel colored leather jacket, that would be my Mum (circa 1976?), making me the very cute five year old in the smashing knit suit made by my Grandmother.
