Anniversary

Today is the 2nd anniversary of when our paperwork was entered into the system in China. I know!!!! An elephant could have had 2 babies in the time this is taking but... be patient!!!!

If you are an optimist.... The longest part of our wait is probably over!!!! If you are not, follow these instructions to a blog that will show some wonderful pics!!! Go to http://www.chinaadopttalk.com/ , click on the word forum on the right hand side of the page, click on General Discussion button, look for a blog named "This Was Worth the Wait" and click on it. The 6+ pages of pics the families have posted are heartwarming!!!

I am told that this whole time of waiting fades away from our memories as soon as we are handed our daughters. I am sure for you all it will to when I get to post our first pics!!!

Easter is tomorrow and we are having a houseful as we did on Christmas. I am making brunch for everyone and got some sidewalk chalk and bubbles, Maryellen is making dessert (baking is her specialty), and Theresa and Adam are planning an egg hunt! Good times!!!

Happy Easter!!!

So this month's referrals have gotten us into 2006!!!! They only have to get through 10 weeks of dates until ours. Sounds easy but... To protect our hearts we are planning for next winter but secretly are wishing for sooner. If you need a baby picture fix go to the www.chinaadopttalk.com web page and click on the links under the title Babies! You will be directed to the web pages of the families that were just matched!

Other news...
I came home today and the Ocotillo we planted in our front yard has buds on its tips. That was exciting to see because sometimes the shock of planting keeps them bare for a year or two! Spring break is next week so I plan to get my summer vegetable garden planted. My winter garden produced a lot of herbs, radishes and broccoli. My carrots are almost big enough to pick. Unfortunately my lettuces and spinach bit the dust with a warm spell. I wasn't aggressive enough with the bugaloos! My artichoke plants are 3' by 3' and should start blooming with artichokes soon. I cant wait for that!!!!!

Happy Spring!!!!
