We got up very very very late
It’s 10:05am and I haven’t even had my coffee yet.
It’s a wind-blown spring day and the forsythia is just thinking about blooming. Madison knows that it’s her birthday bush and she likes me to tell her the story about getting the phone call that she had been born and then stepping outside and seeing the forsythia in bloom.
Speaking of her birthday, Jessica has gone all out on the party and there are going to be a lot of people and a lot of food! (Good food, too, because you know Jessica is a really fine cook!) Yesterday Jessica called to say that she’d gotten a job where I used to work way back when — one of my favorite jobs ever. I hope she likes it as much as I did. This place (in my experience) always made an effort to hire really good, really unique and creative people. I know she’ll learn a lot there and as hard as she works, I know they’re lucky to have her.
I haven’t been writing about the adoption reform discussions happening because I’ve been too busy to sit down and think on-blog but I’m watching and reading (when I get the chance) and am always glad to see the discussion reverberating through the blogosphere.
Happy birthday to Madison! It sounds like her party is going to be fun.
It was good to revisit that post from when she was born (I read it for the first time several months later when I found out your blog in the summer or fall of 2004).
