More Gifts from My Secret Pal!

I have the best secret pal! She sent me a "boo boo" package with all sorts of baby first aid goodies. She also sent me an adorable onsie that I can't wait to put on our sweet little Kaelin!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my (Diane's) dad's 76th bday! We celebrated last night with his favorite, german chocolate cake. He loved his new "Mantis" for his garden that we got him. Happy Birthday Dad!
I have a feeling that his birthday wish was for his granddaughter to get here, soon!

Happy 16th LID Anniversary!

It has been 16 looooooong months since we were logged in at China Center of Adoption Affairs. With the timeframes for referrals continuing to lengthen, we will probably wait even longer. In fact, families that are just now getting logged in are being told that they will have at least a three year wait! We are hoping to at least have our darling daughter's referral photo by Christmas, but who knows. We may be looking at 2008, but let's hope it is way sooner than that!

Surprise Swap Gift

I'm a little late posting this thank you to my good friend Wanda. She sent me the sweetest little lovey and matching book from Bunnies by the Bay. She also sent a little charm that says, "Things happen for a reason...just believe!" I pray this is true every day! I can't wait to snuggle up with Kaelin and read this cute little book to her while she holds her lovey.

Happy Mother's Day!

It's a great day because I got a Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag! As you can see from the picture, it is waaay cute! Now, if we only had our daughter/sister to go with it! Following tradition, we will get Chinese take out from Ming Garden for dinner, yumm! (Their lemon chicken is to die for!) I also got a very cute card from my January2006DTC Precious Panda Secret Pal.

Warm weather is finally here!

I had to show off this gorgeous tree in our backyard! It smells absolutely incredible! I love it when this tree blooms because it means warm weather for the next 5 months, yeah. Now, all we have to do is open the pool and it will officially be summer!

She did it!

We proudly watched our baby girl graduate, yesterday, from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources with a degree in Dietetics. To celebrate we had a delicious dinner at P.F. Changs. We couldn't be more proud of her accomplishment! But wait, she's not finished. She will be leaving for the University of Memphis in August to do her internship and grad school. She will also be working at St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

Where did the time go?

Today, our baby girl, Sarah Gabrielle, will be graduating from Michigan State University with a degree in Dietetics. How can this be? It seems like just yesterday she was starting her first day of kindergarten! Congratulations, Sarah, we are so proud of you!

The Stork Has Landed!

The stork has landed at our agency! They recieved twenty-one referrals, all girls! Congratulations, to all of those families. We can't wait until it is our turn.
