Birds

5 little birdies sitting in a nest...one fell out and broke his neck. 4 little birdies sitting in a nest... one fell out and broke his neck. That left 3. At first it was fun watching these birds. Then the momma bird decided to fly at our faces every time we went out the front door. This was June 19th. Two to three weeks after the babies flew the nest, the mom was back laying more eggs. The next batch three fell out of the nest. The last one to fall was almost ready to fly. He hopped around the front porch. Slept in the courtyard, and was found in the morning in the grass.

Why I am rambling about a stupid bird's nest is beyond me... especially since I knocked it down this morning.

Q's 1st time at the dentist

We didn't waste anytime getting into the swing of things. June 17th was Q's first time at the dentist. Of course he hated it, and I hated having to hold him down.

Home and Happy!

I decided to ditch the idea of posting the first part of my trip to Paris and Accra. Why? Really! By now it is history. So let us start at the End of May. We came home to a warm welcoming committee at the airport. Yaw was now being introduced as Quincy or Little Q. We had tons of visitors the first and second week. We also had dentists and doctor appointments. Life was crazy just because I had more things to do and take care of. But we are happy. And as soon as I go to the downstairs computer, I can pick some new pics to show yall.

Oh baby! Thanks Haley!

LAST HALF OF AFRICA

I am posting finally, but it will take two days. This is Last of April and May. Check out older post also cuz there is so much. 

HE'S OURS!!!!

The court date was quick and easy. It was the getting to that point that was crazy. My lawyer was very nice (Above picture.) I wish Paul could have been there, but I had to go alone. Lord only knows why!

If you gotta go....

So anytime you go to a third world country, you have to expect that the restrooms are not ideal, but I never expected this.

At the court house on Yaw's adoption hearing, I had to go so bad. Vivian scoped out the building to find the restrooms and came back and slyly reported that she had found the place, but that she didn't think I would want to use it. 

Wow! I was glad that I had a bottle of water, a bottle of shampoo, hand sanitizer, and kleenex. I was also glad I wore a skirt because I found out that when you pee on cement it splashes. I had to wash my shoes!

I came back giggling and saying "I just peed in a hole." I was so entertained that I kind of forgot that I would be getting a son officially in a little while. 

The funny thing is that that was not the worst place I had to go. The worse was at the birth certificate building (same town) It was an actual room with stalls and toilets, but no water. and the place looked like a storage room with stuff everywhere. To top it of a dead roch was in the place. (I hate those things)

To be fair to Ghana, I did find 3 very nice restrooms in Africa. The Rhapsody restaurant, Captain Hook's Restaurant and my own!
