Happy Chinese New Year

We celebrated Chinese New Year with my mom and step dad. We ordered chinese take out and got chop sticks for everyone. Todd was the only one too afraid to try them out. He told me I better make sure we take forks for him to use in China...whatever! So the cut off this month was March 2. Yep, only two days. I've got to think positive and be strong. We are almost there and I can't get discouraged now. Oh mom and I went to Babys R Us and she took a picture of everything I said I liked. I thought that was sooo sweet. She said she didn't want to forget what I had showed her....I love my mom!!

Cut off Feb 28 2006

I can't believe we are into March!! We will hopefully see our baby's face in a few more months. We had an awesome Christmas. We took the boys to Washington DC to tour the museums and to see the Redskins play the Eagles. It was freezing cold but really fun. We are wishing everyone a Happy New Year!!

Congrats to my hubby for making Fire Fighter of the year!! I'm so proud of you. The cut off date for this month is Feb 23. That means we have 20 days worth of families in front of us. The latest guess is we will get our referral in March!!

Our 3rd homestudy was completed today. Our social worker said she felt in her bones that we would be in China in the spring! Referrals should be coming out soon so I will post a cut off date soon!

What a fun 2 nights worth of Halloween! We started Friday night out by meeting the family at KFC and filled up on Chicken before heading out. We got tons of candy. Then Saturday night we had our annual hallowscream event at the house. This year we enclosed the front porch and had all kinds of scenes set up. We had the mad butcher and dracula and even had Michael Myers. It was fun. Glad its all done cause that will wear you out!

The "Allie" car seat

I fell in love with this car seat when I first saw it. Then my eyes popped out when I saw that the name of this car seat was "Allie". Its from Britax and a really good quality car seat. No word on the cut off date for this match of referrals. I will post that as soon as I hear something! Better head on over to EBAY and bid on this car seat!! Take care!

Fair Fun/Cut off Feb 15, 2006

What a fun night at the Chowan County Fair. We ate tons of junk food and yes I got sick on one of the rides but I didn't let that spoil my fun!! Happy Fall everyone!
