February Numbers

Well, February is here, and with it are our new numbers.  I'm a little delayed in posting them because I'm less than enthusiastic about our movement I'm overwhelmed with grad class and grading and a million other things.

There wasn't a ton of movement this month, but we were assured this is just the "ebb and flow" of the adoption process.  We've been told this before during slow months.  In the months where there are TONS of referrals, we LOVE the ebb and flow.  But in months like this, with very little movement, the phrase ebb and flow is our Kryptonite (note the superhero reference for my darling husband ….) In fact, ebb and flow is a phrase we use in a joking manner just to help keep our spirits high.

Like the ebb and flow of how often I cook.
Dave:"Are you making dinner tonight?"
Me:  "No. I'm so tired.   Lets just have cereal."
Dave: "but you made that great (Fill in the blank with something wonderful) last week."
Me. "Well, thats just the ebb and flow of dinners I guess."


Or, my favorite, the ebb and flow of our netflix movies.
Me:  "When is our next movie coming?"
Dave: "Well we just got one"
Me: "But that doesn't matter, sometimes they come quick."
Dave: "And sometimes they don't.  I guess thats just the ebb and flow of netflix."


So anyway, here are our February numbers.  You will notice only the girl number changed.  But let me assure you that is just part of the ebb and flow of adoption numbers :)  Here's to a bigger moving March!

Our Girl Number

Our Boy Number

Our Sibling Number

So there you go :)  I'd love to hear some other fabulous ways to use that fascinating little phrase - so if you have some, please share!
