Passing the Time, Part Deux

Something big is going down this weekend. No, it has nothing to do with Henry, specifically, although I wish it did. Erin's sister's husband (yes, that's my brother-in-law) will be working on remodeling our kitchen for us. As you can see from the pictures, it needs a lot of work. How does this tie into our adoption? Well, we are getting our house ready for our little bambino. He needs a nice clean kitchen to eat in, doesn't he? We have also cleared up the room formerly known as the guest bedroom and are going to make that into a nursery. We will paint the walls green and put up a little "rainforest" theme (we bought a fake palm tree last weekend. Seriously). I think that all of this work is something that we can focus on and put our efforts into as we bide our time for our newborn son to come home. As Tom Petty once famously sang, "The waiting is the hardest part."

We hope by next week to have some updated pictures and medical information on the baby formerly known as Josue Moises. The attorneys in Guatemala City send updates once a month, and it is getting to the point where we are thinking of emailing our adoption agency and asking what day the photos and information will come to us!

By the way, in the top picture, that is a yellow frisbee covering a hole in our kitchen ceiling. Don't ask me why.
