No News.....

Hi Everybody...sorry for not blogging lately, it's been crazy busy and I'm just getting over the cold/flu that's been going around so I haven't felt much like blogging. We had a busy day last Saturday...it was my niece and nephew's 2nd Birthday (yup, they're twins) so we had a small celebration at my Brother and Sister-in-law's for lunch as we had a Surprise 65th Birthday for my Dad later that day too, so there was decorating and setting up to be done. The party turned out really well and he was very surprised. It was nice to see all our family and friends come out to celebrate with us.

I've been diligently watching RQ and there have been no rumors going on....very odd as some predicted we may get referrals sent out before the Autumn Moon Festival Holidays in China...which is on Tuesday Sept 25th...seeing as it's Friday the 21st today looks like we won't see referrals until the beginning of October so we likely won't hear rumors until MAYBE the end of next week.....oh well, I've waited this long what's another couple weeks....Here's hoping they do at least 10 days this referral batch....if they do then we'd be in, if not, we would be next....WOW...hard to believe I'm able to FINALLY say those words.

I've been tagged....

Well, I've been tagged by my good friend Angela with the top 10 things that Madi needs/mommy wants....so here goes....

1. Start nursery...see the pic below of a room...well, this room is being moved to the basement once it's finished and this will become Madi's nursery...as you see we haven't started it yet, but the basement is almost done so we will soon start working on the nursery

2. Car Seat:

3. Dresser: This is close to what we are looking at...

4. High Chair:

5. Stroller:

6. Baby Monitor: This one has a video monitor...how cool is that!

7. Super Saucer:

8. Stroller Toys:

9. Toys:

10: Play Park....this will eventually come for the back yard:

Thanks Angela, that was fun...now it's my turn to tag someone...and I think I'll tag Lorraine...Have Fun!

Madi's new 'lovie'....

I'll start this post with a little history of this baby blanket...I purchased this baby blanket kit (to crochet) over 10 years ago when my Husband and I first started trying to get pregnant. At the time we lived in a small house so I kept it at my parents house. I told my Mom that when I came to pick up the kit that I would be pregnant....well, after 10 years and no baby and the adoption finally coming to a close I 'tried' to crochet this blanket....well, for a beginner (or a beginner with a little experience) it wasn't exactly the easiest pattern to make....sooo....my sister-in-law's Mother graciously said she would make it for us...well, in no time at all she had it done and what a beautiful job she did. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH EUNICE! Words can't describe how I feel having this blanket done. I can't wait to see Madi snuggled in with it, I'll definitely take a picture of her and send to you.

CCAA Update....10 days to go!

Well, it's official, the cutoff for this month is November 25th...one day more than I thought it was going to be...I'm so glad I didn't get caught up on the other rumor that some of December was included.

Congratulations to those families that will be seeing pictures of their new baby!

We've got 10 days to go before we reach our LID of December 5, 2005.
