BearKat

it has been a stressful week trying to get our flights nailed down, planning for being gone from work, researching/purchasing the last things needed for travel and all without my amazing husband. so waking up at 2 am every evening has not been helpful!

but, i have had lots of dreams about david this week. my favorite needs a little buildup though. when we first saw our cute little boy we were trying to guess how to say his name and without hesitation casey says, BearKat. since then, casey has continued to call him BearKat. "BearKat Butler" is a great sports name according to casey. so, the other evening i found myself dreaming about david. in the dream he was around 3 years old and running away from me. he was running in the street and i was furious with him. i was calling for him and running for all i was worth but i could not catch him. at 3 years old my boy was too fast for me to catch and was taunting me while he did it. i couldn't help but laugh when i woke up! casey's hopes of having an athlete has crept into my dreams now.

we are officially heading to Ethiopia on Thursday, December 3rd! three more weeks!
