The Tonsil-bone’s Connected to the Adenoid-bone…
So. Monday morning, Dante “gets” to have his tonsils and adenoids taken out. (What the heck is an “adenoid” anyway? It sounds like some sort of curiously strong-flavoured mint…) In addition, the surgeons-that-be are going to putting tubes in his ears. I’m assured that this will not allow him to shoot nerf darts out of…

National Burkholder Day!
today is the May 29th that was mentioned in our previous post. That, coupled with the exclamation mark in the post title should let you know that we’re in pretty good moods today. 🙂 Judge Jay Hoberg of the Lancaster Court of Common Pleas decided that we were cool enough to have custody of another…

“…And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make…”
So…how was your Thanksgiving? Yeah? Uh-huh? I’m really not listening to you, ’cause mine was awesome. And no, I’m not talking surfer-dude, “Hey, you made pumpkin pie? Awesome!” I’m talking, “Hello? You want to give us a baby? Really?? Awesome!” Yep, it happened! Zoë Elaine Burkholder was born on Wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving), we…

No news is good news…?
Well, not really in our case. I realized that we haven’t posted in a while; that’s largely because there’s not much to tell. We’re still wishin’ and hopin’ and prayin’ that somebody will look at our profile and say, “Hey, I like them!” We had a close call a few weeks ago, but that fell…

Coincidence? I think not!
So, we got a letter in the mail the other day: The official acceptance of our home study. This, just by itself, was pretty cool. However, there was an extra-nifty aspect to it: Our home study was officially approved on June 13, 2007– our anniversary! Gotta love nifty little synchronicities like that. 🙂

55 Story
Hey, all– We’re still in waiting mode at the moment. The home study is done and has been submitted, so it’s just a matter of time. We’re starting to think about baby names at this point; pretty cool! 🙂 The reason for the title above is that I’m doing something different this post. I have…

Spam-B-Gone!
Thanks to some advice from one who is geekier than I, I believe I should be much more spam-free, now, and have turned off the annoying registration doodad that prevented people from commenting easily. Hopefully this will work…

The End of the Beginning
Okay, so today was our in-home evaluation, and it went just swimmingly! Or at least, it seemed to; we’ll find out when our social worker sends us a draft. Dante had a great time talking to her. It seemed she had just as good of a time, too: she even read “I’m a Little Teapot”…

The Further Mediocre Adventures of Us!
The questions of, “So, where are you in this whole adoption process thing?” have been ramping up of late, and I realize it’s been a while since our last post. So, here’s where we’re at: Filling out forms, answering questionnaires. “But wait,” I hear you say, “Isn’t that where you were a month ago? Doesn’t…
