Weekend Things...(and a big victory)

So...first things first...new photos of my son Beckett...arrived last Thursday. The current expectation is to travel sometime between May and August. We have no control over the travel date at this point. Naturally, sooner is better.

We also received official word from the adoption agency that our paperwork had been translated and shipped to Vietnam. If we're lucky, the dossier will arrive and get logged-in before Tet. The whole country shuts down for a week during the Tet festivities.

Saturday was the designated birthday celebration for my friend Rich. To that end he gathered friends for a full day of gaming. We arrived at his home around 10am and began playing Twilight Imperium around 11:30. We played solidly for the whole day, apart from a break for lunch at Vinos. I headed home around 9:30 as the winner...it was well worth the time spent and I look forward to playing again. To those of you who were invited but decided not to attend...pptthhh!!! You missed out on fun.

Today...Jess and I did some home improvements. We replaced some cat-stained (if you know what I mean) carpet in the office. All I can say is that Jess is pretty handy. Additionally we bought an area rug for Beckett's room and a camcorder so that we can record videos in Vietnam and while he grows up.

That's about it for now...we were good consumers. It was a good weekend.

Quick question for Munkee Girl...based on your comment on the previous post...was this post better? :-) (Luv ya...when are y'all coming to visit...and yes, I know we owe you one!)

Yes, quite satisfactory. Perhaps we should engage in some sort of torrid theological debate, though, in order to really distract me from doing necessary work.

P.S. MAN, that Beckett is cute!

Yes indeed. Very cute.

Apparently, it is simply *NOT* broughten. Still waiting for that theological throw-down. Wuv, Kat.
