Happy Birthday Daddy-O!!!

You've come a long way baby!!!













Well.....ok, maybe not that far!!! (hee hee)



HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS!!

WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND PRAY YOU HAVE A WONDERFULLY BLESSED DAY!!

Another month

Tomorrow marks another month in the history books, and we're still waiting...waiting...waiting!!!

There are a ton of rumors flying around the adoption community, and I'm not mentioning any of them tonight. Possibly next week we'll have a better clue as to when we may receive our referral, but tonight I'll continue to pray for and dream about Emily.

Kisses In the Wind

We hold you in our heart & touch you in our dreams.

You are here each day with us, at least that's how it seems.

We know you wonder where we are...and what's taking us so long.

But remember child we love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...

Because tonight, just as always, we'll be blowing you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in his hand until we can be with you.

We promise you darling we are doing all that we can do.

Very soon you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.

But for tonight, just as always, we blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you tight,

and let the angels bring the kisses that

we send to you each night.

I had to do it - really I did

I just had to get this for Emily. The front of the onsie says: "Peter Pan, Pinocchio &" ...... and on the back it says, "Pooh". ROFL :)

Future Middleweight Champion???

Look at the newest picture of my little nephew, Chapin. By the looks of it - it's a good thing I work for a boxing company. LOL


I'm going to send his first pair of boxing gloves to his Mommy & Daddy.

OMG!!! Too Cute!!!

Sister-in-law Angee did it again. Is this not the cutest?!?!?! She made Emily her own little bracelet.

Again, I don't know what's up with my camera, but these pics just aren't doing the bracelets justice.

Thanks again Angee. I can't wait to put it on The Little Princess :)

OOOOOOO Pretty!!!

My SIL Angee made this beautiful bracelet for me, and I absolutely love it.

This pictures does not do the bracelet justice, because it just sparkles and shines.

Angee is quite the jewelry maker. If you'd like to see some of her other work, her website is: http://princessandthebead.net/

V-day gift from Granny

Grandma Hill got Emily her 1st little Valentines Day bear (too cute).

V-Day

Happy Day to my Valentine. I love you oodles!! :)

Somebody Stop Me!!!! :)

So, I'm feeling like Jim Carrey in 'The Mask'...."Somebody Stop Me!!!"

Today I experienced my first trip to Gymboree. I can technically blame this whole trip on my DTC online group (July DTC girls....you know who you are) because they're the ones who brought this sale and ladybug line to my attention. :) LOL

So...let me show you Emily's new top, outfit, and blankie.

Now - isn't this stuff just too cute?!?!? I mean, how could I resist?!?!?

Good news is that with this purchase, I was rewarded Gymboree bucks, and that means......I get to go back in March and save $25!!! I am so there!!!

This one's going to China with us

I went to Hallmark the other day to buy my hubby a birthday card, and I found this precious little bear in a bunny suit. It is the softest little thing ever!! I can so see Emily carrying this around with her. :)

Happy 37th Birthday Babe!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEST FRIEND!!!
I LOVE YOU HONEY!!!



What a cutie patootie!! :)
