So I thought I should chime in on this blog at some point. Typical dad I guess, too busy with work (or maybe just watching a football game) to get too involved in the blogosphere. But tonight Kristel is out for an appointment with her hair stylist and it seemed like a good time to start. I'll try to chime in with dad's perspective on this crazy/exciting/scary/wonderful journey every once in a while.
With Kristel gone I got the (sometimes) joy of getting the girls ready for bed. PJs on, teeth brushed, and a little cuddle time before it was time to sleep. Carley likes to keep giving hugs as long as you will give in and stay in bed. I gave in for a while! Then I was cuddling with Danielle and she spontaneously said "I love you so much daddy." Great night.
Anyway, sometimes I think our adoption journey is actually pretty simple. Everyone deserves someone to have someone to love and someone to love them. There's a little boy out there somewhere in Ethiopia that without us may never get to experience the kind of night I just had with my girls. How can I not want to give that joy to him? And what's better than getting that kind of love from one more person on this planet?
And the world keeps spinning...
