Deep Thoughts by Sonia.

  • We are in the midst of our moving transition
  • Jacob is not handling it so well. 
  • He asked to call his "China Baba" last night. 
  • This is the first time that has happened......ever. 
  • I walked back into our home that is now filled with boxes this morning and cried. 
  • I'm going to miss it here. 
  • We have made some powerful friendships, most of them driven by our journey to the boys. Never in my life have I ever experienced such un-ending support and encouragement.
  • I accidentally donated a bunch of clothes to the thrift shop that a dear friend lent to me when we first arrived home with Joey and Jacob. In my jet lag fog I managed to miss the word lend. I feel like an idiot.
  • Jacob asked to call his China Baba last night. 
  • My husband is finishing his final exam today for the school that kept us here for another year. 
  • After 11 months I may actually see his face out from behind a book. 
  • I have forgotten what he looks like. 
  • I've decided to break with tradition and wear a simple back and white sundress to the graduation ball next week instead of a formal gown. 
  • The gowns are packed. 
  • I used to like moving so often way more than I like it now. 
  • Now it tends to make me more sad than excited. 
  • Jacob asked to call his China Baba last night.
  • The twins are at sleep away summer church camp until Friday. 
  • I miss them so much it hurts.
  • My dear friend Kim is coming into town this weekend and I can't wait to see her. 
  • My dear friend Lanette is leaving town shortly after us and I don't want to say goodbye to her. 
  • This Sunday is our last at our church. 
  • The thought of that makes me want to ugly cry. I'm going to miss my church & Bible study posse.  Those women amaze me.
  • Jacob asked to call his China Baba last night.
Sonia out.

  4. No advice, just sending good wishes, hoping you find some smiles here and there in the process. Your blog is my therapy, it is where I find lots of smiles...like the fork in the chair...you should frame that picture and hang it in your house...Hugs!

  8. Moving can be hard without any children and add 6 kids, 2 newly adopted, into the mix and that is one adventure that only the LORD can lead!
    My prayers are with you and for Jacob's little heart.
    You may have mentioned it in another post but have you said where you are moving?

    At least you didn't start with Quinn. I'd be really hard pressed to find some Qu names!
