Look at the deals I've found...

I found all these adorable clothes for Claire for jsut about nothing at a sale last week at the Agricenter! Now...if we could just get Claire here...

If they don't fit Claire, expect to be seeing these as presents!!!

Well, we hope to hear something any day now about our estimated waie. I'll update the blog as soon as I get word.

To the zoo we go...

We go to the zoo often, but rarely do I take my camera along. It was beautiful weather, & Jesse's a ham, so we had fun today.

Here's Jesse taking a break in the petting zoo gardens.
Here's Jesse near the Northwest Passage exhibit.
Another shot in the daisy garden.
Taking a break from the sun! He can't wait til he can show off the zoo to Baby Claire!!

Scorching Summertime

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. It's been scorching hot here so we've just been keeping cool & not doing much. Jesse started astonomy camp today & I found him outside this morning before we left. He said, take my picture before camp mom! So here you go!

We should hear something in the next week or so from the CCAA (Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs) that should give us a good estimate of when we will travel to get Claire. I will post as soon as I hear something.

I posted a picture of the house with all my lilies in bloom, but I don't think they show up well. Well, I'll try again soon.

Here are some of the recent dresses I have finished for Claire. I hope she likes pink!!

Well we are home from a fabulous vacation filled with wonderful weather! We both missed Lance so much, & are glad to be home. Hopefully our next trip will be to get baby Claire!!!

Taking care of Trevor...













and putting up with Mom!

Here are some photos of Jesse on Orange Beach today! He is having a blast & had to be dragged out of the water to eat lunch.

Here are the diaper bags I have made for Claire so far. If this adoption takes much longer she might get a couple more!

Here are some pictures of Claire's Room. It is a work in progresss!

Welcome to my blog!!

Hi everyone! Lance has helped me start this blog so everyone can check in now & then. I will post all info about our journey to Claire & anything else going on in our lives. Please post comments or just a hello if you feel like it. I will update this as often as I can (with a busy 5 year old running around!!)

Here are some very recent action shots of Jesse during Tee-Ball season. He had a blast!
