we are excited about the fourth of july holiday, because it means no work and all play! I actually get two days off work (gotta love the army), so i am going to spend tomorrow decorating and organizing my new office. even though we are surrounded by the beach, we don't actually go very often, so maybe there will be some sun and surf in our immediate future.
cris and I have been doing a little research into adoption and attachment. Thankfully our baby girl will be pretty young when she finally makes it into our arms, but we are still anticipating some mourning and attachment issues in the beginning. We have been loving this little girl for over a month now, but she has no idea we even exist! she will certainly have some adjusting to do when we show up at her doorstep. anyway, we have gotten some pointers from other adoptive parents and from our reading that we will be passing along to our family and friends as we help her learn that we are her family forever.
Less than a month until Betsy gets here! We can't wait! Hopefully we can lure some other family members to hawaii this year with the promise of cuddles and kisses from a new tiny baby.
This weekend we sent off the graduating seniors with a friendly "roast". You may remember that last year my class (aka the Gyno-Girls) dedicated our own ballet version of "wind beneath my wings", complete with leotards and tutus.
This year we went 80's style with a little New Kids on the Block and "the right stuff". it was equally as special. Sometimes i have to wonder if cris ever thinks to himself "who is this crazy woman i married" as i flit around the stage in front a room full of fellow physicians in a pink tutu.
fortunately, he handles it with grace!
2006 "Wind beneath my wings". I will post some pictures of "the right stuff" if and when they become available.
