Jr Youth and sightings at Swiss Chalet

So - here we are with 2 posts in one day. After such a dry spell, i guess i do have a few things to say.
One is that Mike and i have started helping with the Jr Youth at our church. Now, this has been Mike's thing for years. He loves it!!! He really does and it always baffled me. Up until now i have said to him - 'well, that's your thing - go and have fun'!! He gets to run around and act goofy - and he has a whole closet full of youth approved crazy t-shirts. Well, the opportunity came up and they needed female leaders too - so i thought - well, I will give it a try and see how it goes. It was great!! I am having a great time!! The kids are fun and i think i might be having a better time than mike - :) well i doubt it but it might be a close tie. So, you never know how God is going to use you - or sometimes saying yes to Him can be so sweet.
Ok - now totally unrelated - lets switch gears. I am really starting to feel like a stalker!! First of all i stalk peoples blogs and stare at their kids - i really don't have a mental problem (i think) and you don't need to call the cops - but i really get alot of hope from seeing their little faces. In the past month i have seen 2 families out and about with i am assuming adopted African kidlets. Now, this is an assumption and i could be very wrong (which is one of the reasons that i don't go over and gush and say 'we are adopting too!!' - that and i can be very shy). The first time was at Rona in Kitchener. Mike and i were debating over light fixtures and in strolls a very proud looking dad with beautiful baby boy. They were checking out the lights - and i was just standing there with my jaw hitting the floor - what do we do - do we go over, don't we, what do we do??? We didn't go over - a combo of feeling shy and silly and maybe worried about saying the wrong thing. Then today at Swiss Chalet (yes we didn't stay for lunch at church - sorry church buddies)- there is a mom and dad and sweet baby girl. I know my mom would have marched right over there and introduced herself. But once again the shy/what if we say something stupid/what if she isn't adopted took over and i just admired from afar and smiled. I know that there are lots of adopting families in our area but if you were at Swiss Chalet today - you have a beautiful daughter!! and it made me dream when we will be asking for a table for 3. If you were at Rona with your tiny baby boy a couple of saturdays ago and saw a crazy lady in the lighting departement with tears in her eyes it was me.
