FINALLY!!!

Well, I am doing this. I have been wanting to start a blog for a while and Mark keeps telling me that attorney's wives can't have blogs. Who knows why I listened to him for so long...probably because I'm lazy, busy and have a crazy child. Plus, he is not an attorney...yet!

We are in Charlotte now for the summer, for Mark's 2L job. We are living in a one bedroom apt on the 34th floor of an amazing building. There is a pool (and a workout room, thank goodness) on the 10th floor. The apartment is small, we have Katie sleeping in the bedroom, and moved the bed into the main room--so its like a studio, but we love it bc it is a 2 min walk for Mark to work and there is so much fun kid stuff for Katie here in uptown.

Charlotte has been good for me in terms of family history. Because I am stuck in such a confined area for 2-4 hours/day while Katie is napping , I have gotten bored when I don't have a ton of work. I started working on a babybook for Katie on Snapfish. It is going to be all the pictures from her first two years--which will be up in a week! It is really cute.

The other reason I decided to do this is because we are going to be adopting in the fall and I thought that a blog will be a good place for our birthmother to look for updates. We are matched with a birthmom in Texas. She is having...wait for it... TWINS! We know we are crazy, but it feels right so we are jumping in. The sonogram showed a boy and a girl--but I am convinced that it is two boys--then it would complete the six grandsons in a row to follow the six granddaughters in a row. I really hope I am wrong though bc I have some really cute girl clothes that need to be worn again (or for the first time). Yeah, I shop to much, but Mark says that is something attorney's wives can do, he just doesn't like it.
