Ladybug Girl

After reading this book today....


This is the outfit Grace HAD to wear today!!!

Grace has plans for Jacob to be Bumblee Boy when he gets home from school today!!! We'll see how that one plays out!! :)

another month down....

Yep. We have officially been waiting a full 3 months. I know that doesn't really sound like too long to be waiting. But, when the heart is longing to see the face of our sweet boy.... it makes for a long 3 months!! The current wait time is still 4 months for a child 13 mo. and older, so hopefully this will be the month.... or preferably the week-- or DAY!!!!!!

Can't wait to see that 817 area code come across my phone........

3 by 3

Oh what fun it is to be preparing for one more kiddo. It's different than preparing for a baby... and it's FUN!!! Luckily I just "knew" we'd be adopting a little older boy one day and I saved Jacob's clothes from 3T on, so we don't have many new clothes that "need" to be bought. The only must get is a different car. I really like the car I have now, a Saturn Vue, but it doesn't accommodate 3 carseats very easily... so, we're going the mini van route!!

Here's a little prepping we have been doing. 3 is going to be fun!

New backpacks! Looking forward to packing the red and blue one with lots of fun things to keep two brothers occupied on a VERY long flight!!!!

Each kiddo has their own color towel. Easy to remember whose is whose. Easy for the mom to know who left their wet towel in a pile on the floor!!! :)
These pictures are hanging in the hall by the kids' rooms. I hung them a year ago. When I bought the two frames, I bought the matching green one..... "just in case". Now I get to fill it with one more cutie in the snow!
Now, all we need is the PHONE TO RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
