Father's Day

We had a great Father's Day yesterday. Sorin and Liam were gone at their dad's, which was unfortunate, but of course good for them. We had a special Father's Day lunch at Mad Greek followed by the movie "Up" with Andrew and Sky. After that Daniel came home and played with his new toy- a remote control airplane that I think he crashed at least five times. It's covered in tape now, but still flies! It was a hit that the kids were able to enjoy with Daddy.

Daniel is back to work today, but only for two days so he's doing marathon days to get things squared away, meet new clients and tie up loose ends before we leave Wednesday morning. I'm doing the same craziness at home, getting everyone packed, finalizing babysitter and petsitter instructions, getting the house in order (for once) and trying to do it all without lists. We'll be gone for five days, spending Wednesday evening and all day Thursday at my sister's house in Lombard, then we'll go to Andrew's orphanage reunion in Schaumburg Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. It's the same little adventure we really enjoyed last Summer.

On Daniel's To Do list is to call our adoption agency today and "nag" about the fact that we've waited 6 weeks for a court date and have no news. We were told 5-6 weeks until we'd hear a date and here we are.... still in limbo. I have a feeling we'll hear, "Oh, it's coming soon." Something vague like that...."soon." It's much better than hearing "Oh, the courts are slower now, so you'll need to wait 5-6 more weeks!" I think we'll both be screaming if that's the case, and I pray we don't hear that. So many families are waiting on dates at our agency, some longer than us, so we keep thinking there has to be news soon.
