CELEBRATE This Week: XXXIV
I’m glad you are here to celebrate! Share a link to your blog post below and/or use #celebratelu to share celebrations on Twitter.
- We have a court date for J.’s adoption! It’s been a long process (since January 2013), but we are happy how things are working out and thankful to be officially a forever family on paper by the end of the month!
- Sam and I spent his last day of school together on a field trip. It was a very good day to be a mom.
- All-Write is going to be here before we know it! I’m looking forward to the Wednesday Pre-Conference dinner almost as much as the institute! If you want to join us on Wednesday sign up here — everyone is welcome!
- School is officially out!
- Due to #4, I get to write more!

How wonderful for your family to finally have a date for the adoption. I am jealous of #4 as we have another 8 days of school. Enjoy your writing and family time.
It seems you have much to celebrate, Ruth. So happy to hear about the court date! Enjoy the time now before All-Write!
So happy to hear about a date for your forever family! Enjoy and keep writing!
Congratulations on your forever family!!! So amazing!! Happy Writing! I have one more week. Enjoy All Write, I'm hoping you & others tweet & blog from there! 🙂
These are BIG celebrations! J's news is fantastic–another step towards healing. And I imagine a field trip with Sam had to be just about the most perfect transition from school to summer. I am growing more and more excited about #3 as it gets closer!
I am so happy to be here to “celebrate!” I am a first-timer, and found your wonderful blog and thoughtful, reflective link-up through Kim over at Books First in Maine! I wish I didn't already have district technology PD scheduled for the same week of June as the All Write conference! I hope to come next year though!
Congrats on your “forever family” milestone! You are lucky to have each other!

What great celebrations, Ruth! Glad you will finally be a forever family on paper as well as in heart. Here's to summer and writing more!
Congratulations! Hearing such small and big accomplishments in people's lives always cheer me up!
Such great celebrations! Have a happy writing filled summer.
I love your phrase, “a forever family.” How lucky you all are to have one another!
I am also excited about time to write. Five days into summer break, and I've written all 5 days.
Can't wait to see you at AllWrite!
Yay for writing more and families.
So much family joy! The pieces are falling into place to create that forever family. Can't wait to meet up again in a few short weeks!
So excited for you and your family – official “forever” status is meaningful for all of you.
Wonderful celebrations! God is good.Looking forward to reading your writing over the summer! Your words always bless my heart.
My link is a little different. Much heartache in my city this week.
Woohoo- I am cheering for you in celebration. Excited for you and J. Looking forward to hearing you speak.
