Isn’t it hard to believe that it’s already the end of September?  How is it that sometimes the days feel like marathons, but the weeks and months are like sprints?  That perfectly describes our summer and the start to our fall. If you’ve missed our last couple of blogs, we have been matched with two children.  The feelings surrounding that match are super simplex. 

We have had such an outpouring of love and support.  Right now to update you and the world, we are waiting.  I know that is hard for many of you to hear, but it’s where we are, and we are okay with that.  Transitions take time, and we are willing to do anything and everything that is in the best interest of our future children.  So what do we do in the meantime?  

We listen first.

We educate ourselves.

And we enter conversations…but only after we’ve listened.

I know many of you are so eager to find out more about what our family will look like.  We won’t be blogging about the specifics of our family. Our children deserve to have their story, their lives, treated with privacy and care…so it’s not going to be up for blogging.  What we will continue to blog about is parenting, parenting school-aged children (we are so excited to jump right in), and issues related to our parenting journey, among other issues we feel passionate about.  

What we can tell you is that we are currently shopping for a new piece of not very simplex wall art for our new family.  We can’t wait to put it up on a wall to remind our family and those who enter our home that:

In this house, we believe:

Black Lives Matter

Women’s Rights are Human Rights

No Human is Illegal

Science is Real

Love is Love

Kindness is Everything
