Blogger Bling
I've been shown some Blogger Love by tommie over at Tuesday Update. I found her blog through the now defunct "Stuff Portrait Friday," and have enjoyed reading it over the past year. She's got some beautiful pictures of the kiddos posted right now - check them out!
The rules for this bloggy badge are just for me to spread the love to 10 more blogger buddies. It is tough to pick just 10 since I've come to know so many great people in the blogosphere, but here it goes anyway...
Starfish: Fellow adoptive mom and obsessive knitter. She's cheered me on through some difficult knitting projects, and I think if we didn't live on opposite coasts of the country, we'd be friends IRL.
Melissa: She adopted two kids from Russia, and has been doing an amazing job with them. She's been a great bloggy friend and we seem to have similar perspectives on many things (except the fact that she puts the toilet paper on the roll incorrectly).
Kathy: We've been friends since we were 5, and I'm so glad you joined the blogger community. You, and your family, have been a huge part of my life, and I will always love you!
Mom: You're my mom. 'Nuff said. Plus, you've been a great source of support for me when tackling difficult parenting situations and you've accepted my kids with wide open arms. Thanks.
Cathy: One of my favorite "Chicks in Black!" We made so many great memories together backstage, and even though we are not doing theater work anymore, I enjoy reading your blog and learning of the new memories you are creating with Matte.
Irma: My feistly little El Salvadoran buddy! I love all 4'11" of her. A great friend, an inspiring teacher, and an amazing person. Plus, at the age of 34, she can STILL get into the movies on a child's ticket. I envy her that.
Katie: Another blogger I met through Stuff Portrait Fridays. She's an adult adoptee from Korea and has given me some valuable insights into how my children may see things as they grow up.
Kate: Her perspectives of life as an "ex-pat" living in Russia are always interesting and often humorous.
Trish: Because she's currently in Russia waiting to take home her new daughter, and could probably use a little extra love right now.
Rachel: I enjoy reading her perspective on life with 4 kids, including one older child adopted from Russia.
Yay! Thanks girl. Yes, we'd definitely be friends IRL - maybe someday!
Congrats!!
Wow, thanks for the "love". :)
Off topic, but I had a peek at your flickr photos: you have some GREAT photos (helps to have photogenic subjects...but still, kudos to the photographer. You?).
Thanks!
If not for Stuff Portrait Friday, I don't think I would have any readers. I miss it!
thank ya, thank ya. Hey if that is the worst thing I do, then I am da bomb! oh btw, when you come out of your house one day to find out it was toilet papered all over, and you see whats left of the roll just hanging in the "wrong direction", you will know who has the upper hand. :)
I was thinking it was SPF that I first came across your blog!
Congrat chickie, you deserve it!
Awww,thanks! You know that love is coming right back atcha. ;>
I'm touched! I love your blog as well. One of the few that I can directly relate too since we both adopted "older" children and we work with the same agency.
Your mom is pretty cool too.
