Sunflower Seeds: well, that was weird

cast of characters

Shad - Is a early 40-something veterinarian, father of four and husband to moi. He's my rock. I couldn't have completed four international adoptions without this guy.

Tami - I'm a late 30-something, mother of four, child of God and recovering journalist. Since our move to Wyoming last summer, I've been a SAHM trying to keep up with the kids and find time to do some freelancing.

Alek - Adopted from Russia in '99, he's 11 years old and all boy. He loves playing sports, holds his own in school and dreams of either being a candy-taster or an airline pilot when he grows up.

Anya - Adopted from Russia in '02, she's 8 years old and all girl. Anya loves dolls, playing dress-up and anything pink, but don't let that girly exterior fool you. She is also quick to join in a pick-up game of football with her brothers.

Nick - Also adopted from Russia in '02, Nick is proof that big things come in small packages. Eight-year-old Nick has the personality of a giant! He loves to ride his bike, play video games, play sports and tries really hard to keep up with his brother. He also works overtime to keep us all in stitches!

Maddie - We brought 5-year-old Maddie home from Ukraine in Feb. '08 and life in our household hasn't been the same since! She's an animated, extroverted, bundle of energy. I dare you to try and keep up!

well, that was weird

I logged in this morning and found a bunch of weird symbols where my phone-submitted posts should have been. Sorry about that.
I'll post tomorrow for now let's just say we left late, drove through a pretty bad hailstorm...spent some time parked on the side of the I-80....and ended up stopping for the night at a little motel in the middle of Nebraska. (Thank goodness they have wireless internet! :)
Its just before 8 a.m. now and we're getting ready to leave. Its probably another five hours or so until we get to the Emerald City.
I'll write more later.

MamaPoRuski, May 31, 2009 10:28 PM: I hope the computer robots haven't taken over your blog, and this is just a result of your packing and leaving Grab Your Lasso! HUGS!
Tina in CT, June 1, 2009 8:18 AM: I was thinking of you yesterday with the long drive. Hope you, Shad, the kids and pets are doing well. You'll be glad to pull into your driveway this afternoon. Unpacking won't be as difficult as you'll know where everything goes.
AdoptaMama, June 1, 2009 8:50 AM: I saw those freaky symbols and was hoping no one highjacked your blog. I'm sure it was just your mobile uploads not uploading correctly for some reason.

Hope the rest of your journey goes smoothly and you get back home safely.
yeokeehui@gmail.com, June 1, 2009 7:41 PM: Must be a very tiring drive.
Annie, June 2, 2009 2:13 AM: It is especially odd since, even on my "dashboard" I can see words associated with those posts from the road. That's weird.
