Happy Halloween

Fall Fun

This is a video I made of the last few weeks. We are trying to do as much as we can while the weather is still nice. I hope you all are enjoying too. Thanks for the messages and emails this weekend. I got Anika a shirt today that says "worth the wait" I can't wait until she is wearing it but it reminded me that she will be here and she will be worth this wait and so much more



FALL FAMILY FUN

Kicked out of PGN

Well I just checked our agency adoption tracking page to see that we were resubmitted to PGN on 10-23-07! WHAT I thought if you got a previo (KO) then you got a phone call. The good news is we are back in. It must have been an easy fix so we are thankful for that. So the PGN countdown starts over as of the 23rd. Lets hope that is the last KO and we are on our way to an approval.

Fall Fun

We hit a fall festival today at a local ski resort. My favorite part was riding the chair lift to enjoy the leaves. Kboy was MUCH more interested in the bounce house. I am really trying to do lots of these trips with him since next year we will have a one year old in the family and will have to scale back the activities a bit. I know that having a sibling is going to be so wonderful for Kboy. I just hope he feels that way this summer when we are not at the park all day like we were this year. He is still very excited about his sister and asked today if we could bring her to this festival next year. :) I just love how much he thinks of her already.

Visit to Kindergarten!

This picture is Kboy in his classroom but last spring at the registration day. He liked his teacher so much that I asked for him to be in her class and it worked out. Have I mentioned that she is an adoptive mom also? :) Yes I am so thrilled.

It is amazing how one thing can change your whole outlook around. I was in a bit of a funk this week. I was missing Kboy on Wednesday. He was home with a fever on Tues and it was hard to have him gone again the next day. Wednesday was also the day that Anika turned 6 months old. I was in a major funk that day. I was too sad to even post about it. I managed to get past Wednesday and then I put him on the bus Thursday am and came back to "hit the computer" and check out every one's blogs and the adoption chat groups. I hit the send/receive on my email and there is a message from Kboy's teacher. She has a parent come in every Thursday to help make copies and prepare things for the next week etc.. The parent that was going to come had to cx and would I be able to come for an hr that day or the next. I ended up going to school for 2 hrs Thursday and it was such a blessing to me! It was nice to be able to help. I can not describe how neat it was to see Kboy in school sitting in a circle on the floor working with his class. He was so excited that every few minutes he said " Mommy I love you" to me in the back of the class. I was in the office for much of the time making copies and I think that was good so that his teacher could teach without him saying that every few minutes. LOL The best reaction from Kboy was when his teacher took me out to the playground to say hi before I went to the office. He was so happy. He took me to his line and I lined up with the class and walked behind him into school. :) I am really looking forward to Nov when I get to go again. There is also the Halloween Party the day before. This is going to be fun.

Some new pictures

My Sweet Boy

We were just in the kitchen getting Kboys after school snack and he
goes to the fridge and takes a picture of Anika off and kisses it. Then he says "Mom I wish Anika
was really here in this house with us" " I am tired of waiting"
Oh me too sweet boy! Me too!
