i'm not feeling super chiristmasy - we didn't put up a tree we aren't doing gifts because we need to reduce our clutter - and then we can do some charitable giving instead - which is the right thing to do and i want to - but what i really want of course is to be totally swept up in the holiday season in an attempt to make the seasons memorable for a small child - but i don't have a small child yet....so even though I do have my sweetie and my parents and grandparents - don't get me wrong I am very grateful to have all of them in my life -true blessings - but without a child - despite the other loves in my life - i'll still have a blue blue christmas.

gifts of color....
i'm wearing a wonderful shirt our friends brought back from guatamala a couple of years back - when we thought we would have a baby and I'd need well you know a special shirt to accomodate motherlly activities. not sure if we'll have a child that's young enough for that - but i still love the shirt and one day I'll be brave enough to wear it for more than a quick photo.
The quilt behind me also fabulous and bright - my MIL just sent to hubby and I for christmas - again - hwen there is a child in our life - this will go in his/her room - but for now I get to enjoy it. it is really beautiful and I feel so honored that she made it for us. incredibly honored.

some days i think that i could be in her position some day still - especially after hearing her story -but in the meantime - it's been long enough that we're going to do the adoption thing - if both happened i would be so happy i could pee - since my "ideal" family includes 3 kids - and a bunch of furry critters....

spring in the snow
this is what hubby did with the fountain in front of the house - i like it - well he didn't add the snow - that came from above....i only captured the collaboration.
tonight we bought a car (much needed and not a minute too soon to drive in the snow) and ate some gnocci. yum!

some people really like christmas
some people really like christmas..... taken wed dec 5
went to a meeting tonight that gave us hope - an adoption meeting. although we were the only couple there who do nto already have at least one child - there was family working on number 4 from korea (we are too old for korea's age limits) and a couple that was older than us - and she had her only birth child when she was my age -and after 3 years of trying.....i know not to carry false hopes - but it just gives me hope there will be a child or hopefully eventually 3 children in our home some way - whatever way that winds up being. HOPE - just when i thought there was none left in my heart
