This last photo is cute to me because she loves to try to open those drawers and Ryan was protecting them and she was hitting him to make him stop. He got the biggest kick out of it!

Caroline is doing much better. She seems to have attached well to me, which means no one else can hold her. Mike gets to hold her as long as Mom isn’t in the room and even then she moans. It makes it hard on me because I literally can’t do much. (Even pee!) My [...]

OKay seriously, yesterday went crazy fast. Probably cuz I was drugged up on Ibuprofen the whole time. Let me just tell you that I *thought* I was in shape to take on a full time 20 pounder. How WRONG I was! LOL! She wants to be held 24/7 up close under my neck. My [...]

Some quick pictures for ya’ll. No family of 4 pictures yet. We arrived so late and today was such a blur. Maybe tomorrow I can get some and post.

After her 20 minute crying jag, she finally passed out and the guy across the way was so nice to take this picture for us.

Ryan saw something similar (with a real cat) on the Holt forums and so he wanted to show me that Tigger decided to do the same thing. So cute! Yes, I know our tree is leaning. It’s 11 years old and after 2 adoptions, we can’t afford a new one this year. LOL. Next [...]

Every day that we don’t have travel clearance, my heart just loses another piece. Every day that my STUPID GOVERNMENT doesn’t do what they are SUPPOSED TO DO, my heart loses another piece. My forum friends, who received their referrals after us, have TC. They are going to Korea to meet their precious children. [...]

For about a week now I have been getting more and more depressed waiting for our precious girl. I thought that there would be no way it could happen because I am so busy and Ryan keeps me on my toes, so how could I get down? Well, it’s easy. It happens when you least [...]

A response from CIS. We got our receipt in the mail this weekend!!! The receipt itself is dated September 25 and the letter is dated October 14. They said it takes about 60 days for approval. Hopefully that means we have less than 35 days. It takes awhile for the approval to be sent to [...]

Just like everyone else this weekend, we went to the Pumpkin Patch. Ryan had a blast feeding the animals and climbing the pumpkins. He really liked riding the pony, however, a little girl started crying and it got him upset. Daddy ended up walking beside him.
Picture 5 The M family. We rode [...]

Today we drove up to Foyil, Oklahoma where we visited Totem Pole Park. Our friend Mary loves visiting Route 66 landmarks and we’ve been tagging along. This place was pretty cool because it took this man 9 years to make the largest concrete totem pole in the world. Pretty impressive. Ryan [...]
