The holidays without kids

As each holiday comes and we don't have kids, I get more excited about the things that we will do as a family.  Right now, holidays really don't mean much to us.  Sometimes we'll go through the motions - tomorrow (4th of July), we're having a few friends over, grilling out, playing some yard games and might go check some local fireworks.  All in all, though, we could take it or leave it.

I imagine what these days will be like when we have kids.  I think back to my childhood and how special holidays were - fireworks, carnivals, family and friends, food, music, etc.  I can't wait to start those traditions with my kids and make these times special for them as well.

Our social worker popped by for a home visit this week, but still nothing on the horizon.  There is a web site that we can go and look for kids awaiting home, but they are mostly older kids with very special needs.  We're just being patient and I know our time is coming!
