Officially waiting

As of Monday our Dossier is in the hands of the Chinese government!  We officially have nothing to do but wait.  I'm getting pretty good at that.  I guess we will find out how good.  Only the Lord knows how long that wait will be until we are introduced to that yet unknown Bogner.  I can't wait to look into his/her face (via photo) and say, "Yep, that's a Bogner!" and bring that Bogner home!

I am very much tempted during the slow carefree summer time to start signing up to volunteer for  a bunch of things once fall starts.  But the Lord keeps reminding me, "Wait!  You have no idea what I have planned for you this year!"  So I am trying to only commit to things that are in and of themselves pretty flexible.

I have decided (because I'm crazy and have the time) to start to study Mandarin via Rosetta Stone.  I have already done the first lesson, and this is going to be challenging!

I can't believe we are already approaching the end of July.  Aaron is currently in a growth spurt and eating like there is no tomorrow.  I don't know how long it will last, but for the time being I don't have to be frustrated with him being a S-L-O-W eater.  He is inhaling his food!  In fact, I need to now remind him to chew his food before he swallows.  It is an ever changing dynamic, this thing we call life!
