I am leaving on Friday at dawn. For those of you who have adopted, you know that this is the stage at which you start to feel like the White Rabbit. You even start talking like him, "Don't just do something, stand there... Uh... no no! Go go! Go get my gloves! I'm late".
If you understand that, you've been there :)
Fortunately for me, Grange Fair is tomorrow so I can relax-I spent the last few nights calling people for food donations for the ham & bean supper, went to Aidan's open house, had a church officers meeting and a meeting of the social studies council executive board. Have also been busy getting things ready for my sub, who is more than competent to take over for me, so that is a big relief. He also just happens to have adopted from China using the same agency that we are using for Eva. Amazingly small world, especially because he was living in Wisconsin at the time. What were the chances of him then moving to New Hampshire just when I needed someone like him to come along?
So I'm sort of ready-you know how that goes.
I'll leave you now with some photos of those that I will leave behind:
Aidan complained that I always have the camera and he never gets to use it, so this is his idea of a self-portrait (remember that he doesn't like having his photo taken, so of course he was being a goofball even for himself as the photographer).
