An Obsession Vacation

Due to the Lunar New Year, Taiwan will pretty much close down as of Wednesday (Tuesday here) for a week to celebrate. In fact, I hear that some of the key people in our adoption will actually be off for two weeks celebrating the holiday.

In celebration of the 'out with the old, in with the new' holiday, I've decided to take the next two weeks to do a little house cleaning myself and to step back from wishing the phone to ring with big news and take the time to notice things happening around me.

So my job is to not obsess about the adoption. And your job is to not ask me if I've heard anything— because I can guarantee you I haven't.

What I noticed on Day 1 of my Lunar experiment?

My boys looked like hippies!

How did I go so long without getting their hair cut? So today's order of business was to get them cleaned up. Now that's better.

We Survived...

The days leading up to Lucy's birthday led us to believe it was going to be one tough day. We were right. BUT it was a bit easier to get through with such huge support from family and friends. And the boys (including the 6'4" one) and I had a little celebration in honor of Lucy's big day.

The first ever pink cupcakes made here in the Mac house! (can you tell we let the boys do the sprinkling?)
We let big bro J take the first bite.
Yum! Daddy approves.
Chomp, chomp, chomp.
And then there's our little dude who doesn't like sweets. This photo is classic B when it comes to goodies. Who is this kid?
And here are the boys singing Happy Birthday for the 47th time. We decided to keep the real one— with candle and wishes— for Lucy to see first.
