Baby Starfish

Here is one of the Starfish wearing one of the outfits I donated!! RMJ (Red Mary Janes) started this wonderful project of collecting for one whole month and then she shipped all these boxes to China.

When I saw this photo of the little Girl in MY dress I almost cried........

Isn't it wonderful!!!

7 Things you should know about me

Ok Fliss did it, she tagged me so here goes........Fliss I don't do well with rules, so the first 7 people to read this consider yourself tagged and you must continue the 7 things..................

1) I hate to take medicine. I'll never understand drug addicts, I can't even swallow a tylenol without gagging

2) I'd rather eat junk food than cook a decent meal....hate to cook

3) I want to retire someplace WARM!!!

4) I love the ocean!!!!

5) If Bruce dies before me, I want to move in with my girlfriends and be like the Golden Girls!!!!! I guess I'd be Dorothy..the boring quiet one of the group!! ha!

6) I believe one person can change the world!!

7) If I had one wish, I'd wish all of you reading this now, were reading this with a sleeping baby in your lap. Hugs to all of you!!

Ok now go tag someone for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tagged

Happy Easter!!!

From our house to yours!!!

Love,
Carol, Bruce, Anthony, Hayden, and Emily!!!!!!

Top of the Morning to Ya!

Busy bee that is me. Can't find time to blog! So much is going on! Spring break which means no school. Which means I have 7 children here today! AAAGH!! Can you say naptime bliss?

No really they have been fine, it's just crazy keeping them busy. We made Jello Rainbows today for St. Patty's Day. With whip cream clouds!

My foot is ok. The lump is just fluid, so it can be drained....yeah gross, but it's better than them telling me I have cancer.......

Susan and Sandy have Gotcha day today, so hurry over and check their blogs.

Emily has a new set of wheels.....I don't care for "Dora the Explorer," but this thing has lights, turn signals, and sounds like a motorcycle.....well Ms. Emily is in love....she is already trying to pedal, but alias her legs are too short......She and Daddy had bonding time during the "some assembly required" faze............

PS if you need a laugh hop over to Kathryn's blog...I'm still laughing Kathryn only because it sounds like something I would do!!!!!!! That was funny!!!!!!!

Tuesday

Exciting times around here.

Book fair at Hayden's school tonight. He is driving me crazy to give him money. Last year I sent a check to school and he came home with toys. So this year I will go with him and we will purchase some books!

I have to go to the doctor on Friday for a sonogram of my foot. I have the most interesting lump on the top of my foot. So let me just tell you........I can't stand people to touch my feet....don't ask me why......anyway, Friday should be interesting!!!

April 1st I have to see about getting Iron infused.......hmmmmm that sounds like a barrell of fun. My iron level is now a 2.....I think I'm supposed to be like an 8 or 10 or something so I'm half past dead.....btw, I've always been low iron and no doctor can tell me why....and it's not the female stuff because that for me is nothing......I think it has to do with my thyroid problems I've had all my life.

Is it because I just turned 40? Am I offically falling apart now? Ok enough whinning.....on to the Emily pictures, that's what everyone is here for anyway......

My new little cousin

This is our new little cousin. She is waiting for us in Taiwan! Ain't she sweet!!

I am hoping to be watching her while Mommy is working!! I get to snuggle this baby everyday!!!!

She is supposed to be coming home soon, but they are still waiting for their travel dates......................

Send good thoughts

Our friend Maddie is having a procedure done today. Everyone please think good thoughts and say a prayer if you can. We love this little sweetie...........

You can go to Jane's blog in my favorites list if you want to send her a little note.

Two more special people are coming home!!

Sandy my friend from Living Hope, and Susan my friend adopting from Hope Haven are both leaving on March 11th to pick up their girls!! Congratualtions Ladies!!

Susan's daughter was with Emily in Hope Haven, and from the pictures I can tell that they were good friends!

Sandy has been a great friend to me, and I'm so excited that she is about to start her journey!!

Ladies you will probably have CA together......isn't that something!!! I love being a part of this!

Congratulations! Susan's daughter is in the white sweater to the right of Emily. Sandy's daughter is in photo number 2!

My friend Angie is leaving sometime in April so we are just waiting on her big announcement now!!!!! AND my friend CINDI has her LOA, so she is in the big wait for TA now!!!!

Jane just sent her adoption announcement. Emily saw Maddie and went crazy!! I guess they played on the playground because Maddie was upstairs in Xianyang, and Emily was downstairs.
