Package going to China

I'm putting a box together to send to China. An outfit, a blanket, 2 cameras, a photo album, and a stuffed monkey. We don't know if it will work, but if it does, we may get some cool photos of her from when they receive the camera, to when we pick her up!!!

We're ready now, the blanket is finished!

Okay, the baby blanket is ready!!! Thanks Mom!

Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah!

Please enjoy these fantastic referral photo manipulations. These were sent to us within what seemed like minutes after sending my dear friend, Pam, our referral announcement. Pam and I have been friends since the 5th grade. We were born 2 days apart, with her birthday being October 17 in the same year as mine. I love when Pam puts captions on photos. They always make me laugh out loud. Pam can be described in three ways, hilarious, creative and the only person besides my family to have been in my life for 35 years.

Thanks Pam!



Don't forget, you can click on photos to enlarge them if it would make it easier to see or read captions.

The legend of the red thread

Happy Birthday Dear Amy

Amy,

This is the day we believe you were born. We can't wait to meet you. There will be so many parties and celebrations to make up for us missing this one. We wish you knew how much we already love you, just from staring at your picture every day and night. Happy birthday honey!

Love,
Mom and Dad

the rest of the family

We have to give Chuckey and Tommy equal time.

I'm learning this wonderful form of communication

Hi family and friends. We are expecting updated photos and information soon on Amy. Through this blog, we will be able to let you know our travel plans, minute by minute. This blog stuff gives me an outlet for my adrenaline stores!
