Getting Closer...

... to 100 squares, that is. I have 94 now. Just 6 more to go! I started laying it out on our guest bed to see what squares I want next to each other. I'll give it a couple days before I start sewing it so I can play with it some more.

If you have yet to send in your squish, please get it to me asap. I'm going to get to 100 one way or another! :)

The line is moving slow as ever. They are up to 2/17/06. Keep up the prayers for a speed up soon!

And we are still in review. Some agencies are reporting that their March folks are out of review, but our agency still shows that we are in. Sigh. I guess no news is good news, but I'll still be glad when we are out of review.

Happy Fall!

:D

WE ARE IN REVIEW!

After 18 months, our file is finally in the Review Room! Some one may be looking at all our paperwork right now and determining if we are eligible to adopt a precious child from China. This is one of the last hurdles that we have to over come. Hopefully we will be out of the Review Room by Christmas.

After we pass the Review Room, we move on to the Matching Room. When it is our turn, they will take our file off the shelf, shake the dust off, and match us with Ladybug. Our place in line is 3/30/07 and they are on 2/9/06. It's like the deli line in Dante's 5th circle.

This is progress. This means we are real. Now let's hope that this line starts moving!

Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!

:D

Adoption Song

Well, I heard the best song on the country radio station the other day. Try as I might, I couldn't find the lyrics or a video on YouTube given the limited lyrics that I remembered. On my way to the dentist today, the station played it again and told me the title!

The song is "Here" by Rascal Flatts. It's the third video below. Let me know what you think.

The other two videos are songs that have helped me get through the wait.

Enjoy!
:D

Rodney Atkins - If You're Going Through Hell

Another one that helps me get through the wait!

Rascal Flatts - Stand

Not for the adoption video, but a song that has really helped me get through this wait.

I think this is it! Let me know if you think this is a good adoption video song.

New Landscape

You may be aware of our boxwood issues. Apparently the front of our house is exposed to super sunshine that burns your average boxwoods. We've gone through two sets since we have lived here. B did some research and found some sun resistant boxwoods. If these die, we know we have mega problems, since they are made of plastic! They look great from the road and are very low maintaince. I hope they work out.

You can also see our new wishing well in the pic. We also have a new wooden planter that will go inbetween the boxwoods, but I'm waiting for cooler weather so I can plant some mums in it before I put it out. Maybe next weekend.

I also posted a pic of our humming bird feeder! We have humming birds! They are so pretty, and my next goal is to get a pic of one at the feeder....

Just thougth I'd share our new landscape!

:D
