airplane posted by the stone s at 7 58 am 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday april 27 2012 i was caught off guard last night ryland asked me the following question mom how does a baby get into a mom s tummy yikes my eyes got huge he s six he s six that s all i could think about i was caught off guard i hadn t put any thought into how i would handle these conversations i thought i had a lot more time to get prepared well i don t dustin avoided making eye contact with me with every fiber of his being and i could see him smiling just waiting to hear how i would respond i choked i back pedalled i didn t know what to say i asked him exactly what he wanted to know so that i didn t accidentally give too much info i didn t want to lie but he s not quite ready for the whole truth so i said the first thing i could think of when people get married and want to have a child they make the baby from love i know mom but how does it get in the mom s tummy from love yes that s right he followed up with and then god helps the baby to grow i know that part i feel for the kid he s confused he doesn t quite get it he knows that we adopted him and that he wasn t born from my tummy but he doesn t quite get it he pointed to several different people was she adopted was he adopted why why not we re making progress but we have a long road ahead of us and lots of conversations we ll get there someday one conversation at a time posted by the stone s at 8 13 am 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday april 24 2012 family day april 15th 2010 we finally met him we finally met our son after everything that we had been through in kazakhstan after all the unsure feelings we met a shy nervous giving little boy named dias we met our son and we knew it instantly april 15th 2012 we wanted to spend this family day in california we wanted to take time out of our crazy schedules and just have fun with ryland have fun as a family we did just that for those of you that know me know that i don t get emotional often i m emotional writing this it s still hard to believe i still have to pinch myself sometimes he s ours he s the best i am so proud of him he couldn t be any cuter he s tough and resilient while being vulnerable and caring i love him so much i m so proud of our journey to him our hard fight it was all worth it happy family day ryland we love you more mama papa posted by the stone s at 12 10 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday february 26 2012 beach day in the bahamas celebrating the 3 0 the right way cort dust this is me happy and relaxing not the look you typically see on my face chickens and roosters all over the island tia leah was freaked out adventure hike led us to this secluded beach yes please enjoyed the time but we missed our little hot mess dustin braved it and went out in the water a little chilly for my tastes posted by the stone s at 5 40 am 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday february 14 2012 bahamas or bust dust and i went on a quick getaway this weekend with my brother and sis in law and i will be blogging about some of our adventures i want to get the sappy stuff out of the way first this was the first time that we have left ry for longer than 1 night anywhere both parents away for 4 nights he seemed fine before we left very excited to go to spend time with oma opa we had everything prepped packed and ready we loaded up half our house ryland and sadie and drove to my parent s house we made a huge rookie parenting mistake we dropped him off at bedtime dummies as soon as we got there i tried to put him to bed and he just started crying it was so unlike him and just broke my heart we tried to calm him down but eventually we just had to leave for both of our sakes i was a mess luckily halfway home we got a a text from my mom he s asleep what a huge sigh of relief what kind of idiot drops the kid off like that at bedtime dustin and i just shook our heads at each other all weekend if we had just dropped him off at any other time parting would have been fine i know leaving your kids for that long is hard for most parents especially the first time i totally get it but it s just a little different for us i don t have a kid that just believes when we say we re coming back he often doesn t think we are coming back he s been left before and he is very scared of being left again it s just something we have to deal with there is no going around it the good news is that it makes the times when we do come back that much more special for both of us it s important to take these trips it s really important for dustin and i to take these trips it s also really important for ry to have these trips take place it forces us to show him that we always come back everyone needs downtime it s healthy it s ok to enforce the no kids allowed policy from time to time posted by the stone s at 3 20 pm 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday january 30 2012 too adverb to an excessive extent or degree beyond what is desirable fitting or right i won t lie i ve spent some time being pretty impressed with my ability to find flaws i never thought of myself as critical or at least i never thought of being critical as being a negative thing i ve always thought it was a good thing a gift if you will i can see things that other people can t or don t want to i m helpful how can you grow and improve if someone is always there to say how awesome you are if you need that lady in your life that lady is definitely not me i will give it to you straight i ve always said it s better to know it s always better to actually know where you stand with someone what your flaws are where your gaps are etc it s hard sure but it s better to know in my mind anyway so i ve been thinking about this all day am i too critical i started to do some research i started with polling people and i called my mom mom do you think i am too critical cort this is a loaded question ok ok i ll admit it i m critical i d rather use the word helpful but i get it critical it is the question i ve been pondering is am i too critical it s that 3 letter word too that has me soul searching during my search i came across this website http lmerlobooth typepad com straighttalk 2010 05 ten signs that youre too critical html and this list below are some red flags that signal you may be too critical read this list with an open mind while you re going through the list imagine what your partner or children would say about each item on the list you frequently suggest a different hairstyle outfit or tip for your partner or children upon seeing them wearing something you don t think looks good upon entry into the home you greet your family by commenting about what a mess the house is or complaining about something they did or did not do when your children or partner help you are more frustrated by how they helped than you are thankful that they did help after every sports event or school activity you lead your review with what they need to work on or could ve done better rather than giving them positives you follow after your partner and fix what they didn t do quite right for example you reload the dishwasher after your partner just loaded it you frequently tell your partner or children what they should and shouldn t do under the guise of being helpful your first comments regarding report cards pertain to the poor grades and you slide right past the good ones one or both of your parents were critical and had very high expectations if you ask your partner to do three things and they do two you complain about the one thing they didn t do the people in your life tell you you re always critical or comment that they can never do anything right in your eyes after reviewing the list with an open mind i feel that i am a definite offender of 5 out of the 10 dustin scored me a 5 out of 10 as well wow i guess this is something that i really need to work on posted by the stone s at 7 32 pm
