my boys, good news, and a side of experimentation

Seriously, how cute are my boys? You can see all the easter pics here. Yes, I realize that my absence from almost all the photos makes Ken look like he is a single Dad. Deal with it people, it was a bad photo day for me.

In adoption land I am happy to report that paperwork is finally moving for some of my agency's families that have been stuck in a bit of a rut. Congrats to Shelley, Nadra, Lori, and the others whose blogs I don't have links to. Here's hoping for some April G&R dates. You gals better start packing!!

If you have been reading Vietnam Adoption blogs for long you probably read Pho for Four. I am currently obsessed with reading about Laurie's labor as she blogs it, and can hardly wait to read about her babe's entrance to the world. Birth is exciting, no two ways about it. Blogging during labor is pretty hard core. Having three kiddos under three, well, that's a little intense and makes me tired just typing it. Yipes!

On the experimentation front, I have decided to go cold turkey and pretty much quit my makeup. I know! Scary! I have been having skin issues lately and my face has been looking really dull. To that end, I have pared down to moisturizer (with sunscreen, of course), mascara, and lip gloss. On the upside, it only takes me about 30 seconds to get ready. On the downside, I have always been a bit self conscious about my super pale skin and ruddy cheeks. Hmmm. Perhaps this will encourage me to take better care of said skin so that it looks better whilst being naked to the world. Maybe I'll break down within days and revert to my old ways. All I know is that as of day two of the grand experiment, I am reasonably ok with the face that I am presenting. That and a random lady at the grocery store asked me what kind of makeup I used and I said, "just moisturizer". I like to think that she inquired because she admired my glowing beauty. In truth, she probably asked in order to avoid purchasing the foundation with the worst coverage ever. Since I'll never know for sure, I'm sticking with option A.
