We leave tomorrow morning EARLY to go to Milwaukee for a long, celebratory weekend with family and friends, and we have so much to celebrate — not only our new legal status as a family, but also Noah meeting much of his extended family, and our sharing in Ariel and Dana’s wedding celebrations.

I expect that I will mostly be offline until Tuesday, when we come back to celebrate the 4th of July, both in it’s traditional meaning and marking the occasion of Noah’s adoption with a few of our local friends who helped us on that path.

Lucky them, they get to celebrate by helping us move back to our house, which we never did get rented out or sold.

Anyway, I promise pictures and stories and commentary again when I am back. Thank you all AGAIN for how wonderful you’ve been supporting us through this wild journey of becoming parents.
