cool things.

summer just feels right, doesn't it?
it fits perfectly with our family.
everyone is doing great and seems really happy and content with life this summer.
and that's a good thing because our adoption is on fast-forward right now.
we are scrambling to finish up some biggies that need to be done prior to our travel.
the word 'excited' doesn't even begin to scratch at the surface...

so, since life has been nutso, i figured it might be nice for me to share some cool things i've seen on the interwebs, you know, from people who actually have time to blog.
and energy.
and desire.
