You can find some real cute stuff at Ikea and for reasonable prices too. (more…)

This would have gone into overnight delivery yesterday, but for a momentary panic from a paperwork snafu. (more…)

It’s a girl!!!

Last name, First Middle: Yang, Qianya
Date of Birth: March 23, 2006 <– She shares her daddy’s birthday!!!!!

She is in Yangzhou County Welfare Institute in the Jiangsu province.
She has 8 teeth, sucks on her fingers when she sleeps. She can crawl on her hands and knees, cruises, walks alone. She speaks in 3-5 word sentences and is cooperative when putting on her clothes. She is fond of music and toys. She is talkative, extroverted, has a ready smile and gets along well with others.

I can’t wait!! I am so, so excited that I have to share another red thread or two (beyond the fact she shares her daddy’s birthday)… not long after we had mailed our application, I had a dream that I woke up and said — “Oh my god, she’s 2 and I haven’t started (or maybe it was finished) her quilt!!” (I have a tradition that I quilt all the children in my family a quilt when they turn two for their big boy or big girl bed.)

Her quilt top is finished, I just need to put it to backing and quilt it…. so the dream is sorta right! LOL

Just checked my email…and there was one from our agency. Instead of one package being delivered today and two on Monday like we were originally told…. all three are due to arrive today. So if referrals are in any one (or more) of them… we will at least get a call with the basic info (and a picture emailed to us) — with the hard copies of all info to be express/fed exed on Monday.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!

Okay, trying to remember how to breathe..and sooooo glad I’m at home, because I certainly wouldn’t be fit for doing any real work if I were at my job…other than maybe leaping onto the phone everytime it rang and beating the crap outta anyone that got in my way.
