Butterflies

Who doesn't love butterflies? Not moths! Butterflies. I think they are one of the most beautiful bugs that God has made! All the colors and designs on their wings? It's amazing. It truly is.

Butterfly Poem
I caught a little wormy

a crawling up a tree.

He wiggled here

he wiggled there

he wiggled right at me.

I put him in a shoebox

and told him STAY RIGHT THERE.

But when I opened up the box

a butterfly was there.

I don't know how it happened

I couldn't if I tried

cause only the great Lord above

can make a butterfly. Author Unknown

Cousins Are In!!! & Baby News

Hey!! Okay so my cousins just flew in from Florida today!!! I have no idea when they'll be staying here but when they do, I probably won't post in a while (not that I have anything to post about because Bethanne still hasn't contacted us!!!! GRRRR!!). Anyway, just thought I'd warn you all.
Bad new's first. Bethanne still hasn't contacted us on how the process is going. Nothing! Nothing on if she sent our stuff to China or if she's waiting for the other family. Good news is, is that Julie~our Social Worker~ is coming on July 16 to redo the homestudy!!! More good news is that the waiting time for SN has decreased a little! I don't know how much so I'm sticking with the other travel times ~late November, beginning of December. I swear I have the worst case of butterflys I have ever had!! It's coming so fast!! My grandma said that we need to hurry up and go shopping!! I really can't wait!! I think we're going either tomarrow or Thursday!!

Baby Cloths

So this morning Mom and Jonah went shopping and Mom just had to get Sarah something. She got baby wash cloths!!! They are so cute!! $0.96!! Amazing for how soft they are! I'd love to post a pic of them but the computer freezes up every time I try to download a picture into it. I'll try to post them sometime though.

Post below and a Different Theme ~ bees

As you probably noticed the post below had a ladybug theme to it. I will let you know it was not planned!! I wish it was, but I'll be honest I did not plan it. But this next one I did!! I hate bees so very much but I know that Photobucket will have some really cute things on bees so I will do a post on bees.

Translator Found!! Info Is Being Sent To Sunnyridge Soon!!!

Mom found a translator right after my last post~I'm not sure if it was the 26th or the 27th~!! We faxed the information to the translator at around 7 am and got it back at around 8 am!!!! We sent all the info to Sunnyridge at around noon!! Mom says Sunnyridge will get the package on Saturday and she thinks they probably won't send it out to China until after the 4th of July. RATS!!! We're hoping by the end of next week. Password will be sent out very soon, well PA soon, and pictures will be posted right after!! So far it looks like we'll be getting Sarah at around the end of November beginning of December!! Mom and I both think that we'll have Miss Sarah for Christmas! Sarah baby, we're comin to get ya real soon!!!

Translator?!?!?! ~Quick Post~

Hey!! Okay we really need a translator for our LOI and information!!!! Does anyone know of any translators that can help us? Any kind in Northern Illinois would be best. Thanks!!

Monday, June 25, 2007

Paperwork!!

We got the paperwork for Miss Sarah Grace and it's only 2 pages!! All we have to do is finish the LOI and then Mom and Dad just have to fill out this really easy form about themselves. Mom says that I can post pics and info on Miss Sarah when we get our PA (preapproval)!!!!!!!!!! Sarah we are one step closer to bringing you home!!!!

Friday, June 22, 2007

10 Months Today!!

Sarah Grace is ten months old today!! We're hoping we'll have her before Thanksgiving, but we know we'll definatly have her for Christmas!!! Just in time for the New Year!!! I really don't have much to post right now, but I might have more later. Question: Has anyone seen the movies, Step Up~was it good?~ and~ Fantastic 4 Two~was it good?~

Shopping ~ The Horrors of Wearing High-Healed Flip-Flops

This is insane. Okay so today Chirstopher ~ not sure if I've talked about him at all but he's my older brother~ went to Six Flags with two of his friends and we drove them. So we decided
to stop at Gurnee to look for shoes for Mom because her and Dad are going to a wedding
on Saturday. To let everyone know I did a very stupid thing. I wore high-healed flip-flops to a mall. A mall! It didn't help either that we did the whole mall and not just half like we usually do.
And we also spent 5 hours in Gurnee and only bought ~ get this ~ one, ONE, thing! A pair of shoes. Oh and lunch and ice cream. The lunch was really good by the way. We had Chinese in honor of Sarah. *grins* But anyway, I should finish my very long and complaining post. As you can imagine my feet are killing me. Mom, I think we need to do a little more shopping so my feet get used to all that walking. *wink, wink*

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Mine aren't as high. But they're pretty close!

LOI!!

Okay so this morning Mom asked Dad if he would just rather that she did the LOI, and he said yes. So Mom completed the LOI in like 5 minutes!! She emailed a draft to Bethanne to see if it was good enough. Still no answer from Bethanne. :(
So I'm guessing that if Bethanne gets back to us like later today or sometime tomorrow, the LOI will be translated and in China by next week!!! YIPPEEEE!!!! I was also thinking that November is coming very fast! And do I mean very. We have no crib and only a few books and a few outfits!!! I can't wait until we go shopping!!! I know I'm gonna have a blast. Oh yeah everyone who I emailed? Expect tha blog password soon!! Once we get the TA, its picture time!!!

Tuesday, June 19, 2007

Answers!!

Hey! Okay in answer to everyones questions, yes I have to wait until our TA to post the pictures. Right now Mom and Dad are trying to figure out how to write the LOI. We already have her refferal picture and now all we're waiting for is to send the LOI and then the TA. It might be a few weeks before her picture is posted. When we get her she will probably be about 15 months old - if we get her in 5 months. It's so incredible now waking up and knowing that Miss Sarah Grace will be home soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love you so much Missy!!!

Sarah Grace

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI would very much like to introduce Miss Sarah Grace!!!!!! Mom says I can't post her picture until we get the confirmation from China, which we hope will be very soon. We got the call at 7:30 this morning from Bethanne!! She said that right when she got our email saying we're interested in Baby, she immediately called the other families and told them that she was taken. She said that she didn't like the whole thing with sending like 8 different families LOIs to the CCAA so she contacts the first family and says that they can proceed with the adoption and that the baby is no longer available. If you think about it, it's pretty funny, we were the last ones to get the information and we're the first ones to call in and say we're interested and want that baby girl!! It really doesn't seem real right now. We've been waiting for so long that it doesn't really feel that different because we're just going to be waiting some more. I really can't wait to post her referral pictures! Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Pics / Waiting, Waiting, Waiting

Okay so I took some pictures of Ruby and Chloe but they didn't turn out right. To dark. So I'll take some new ones and try and post them tomorrow along with info on baby. Mom's thinking that China chooses the family for the baby. Bethanne told us that China prefers familis that started off with SN instead of switching to it, so there is a big possibility that baby won't be ours, but we were also told that since we already have an LID we have a good chance if the other families aren't. So right now we're waiting, waiting, waiting. (Yeah okay, I'm very impatient, I know.)

New Bloggy!! / Baby News / Chickys!!

Thank you so much Emmie!! It's adorable!!! I love the look, it's exactly what I was imagining!

Thank you everybody for your prayers. The only news I have right now is that Dad gave Mom the go ahead to email Bethanne that we're interested instead of waiting for the doctor to call. Can you believe this! Dad called the doctor 3 days ago and she hasn't called us back! So last night Dad said we'll just step into faith and see where we go. On Monday Mom is going to call Bethanne and see if we've got her or not. So you can imagine that I'm very anxious for Monday!!

Also we got our chickys!!! They are so adorable. Jonah named his Ruby and mine Chloe. They are so cute! They're about 6 weeks old and cherp up a storm. In the car on the way home last night they kept cherping so Jonah and I started whistling hyms, it was amazing how quiet they got! I'll post pictures as soon as I get some good ones.

Morning Smiles!!

This morning I woke up and just laid in bed for a little while thinking about this baby girl. :)
Dad is calling our pediatrician today at or after work for more information on what she can do for us. Mom just wanted to go ahead and call the agency because the baby is totally normal except for the cleft lip/palate. PLEASE PRAY!!!!

Wednesday, June 13, 2007

WE GOT AN EMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never been so happy in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bethanne emailed Mom the information on the baby!!! We were asked not to give any information about her so I can't tell you guys anything. Other families are interested in her, but we're supposed to get back to her as soon as possible. We got more pictures too! She is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen!! I'll definatly keep everyone posted.

Like My Mom!

You Are Totally Like Your Mom

You and your mom are practically clones.
You think alike, and you even seem to read each other's minds.
You're definitely you're mother's child... and that's just fine with you.

Chicks Tomorrow!!! No Call :(

Dad called this morning and told us that he's bringing 2 chicks home tomorrow!! Their probably about 2-4 weeks old, and I know their gonna be adorable!!


When we came home from meeting with Staci yesterday there still was no call from our agency :(. So this morning Mom called our agency this morning and now we're waiting for them to call back. I can say one thing about all of this phone waiting, it is entirly and completely frusterating!! Everytime the phone rings we all catch our breath and check the Caller ID. And still no Sunnyridge. I'm thinking the chicks will at least keep us busy and distracted until that call. It's really amazing what a simple phone call can do.

Tuesday, June 12, 2007

No Call Yet

We still haven't gotten the call yet on knowing if this little 10 month old is ours or not. Mom's going to call our Agency tomarrow morning. Two days of waiting is way to long for us! I'm really hoping she's ours! She is so adorable, I could go on and on about her all day. But I'll save you all time and not. The one thing I can't get out of my mind is her face. Her eyes are so big and black and sad that you just want to squeeze her. And she also has this little bit of fuzz on the top of her head. My smiles get bigger every time I think about her.

New Blog Is Made!

Hey! I made my new blog but its not completly finished but here it is.


http://fortheloveoficecream.blogspot.com

NEW BLOG!

I totally forgot to write about this! My mom gave me an idea to do a Food Blog. Well I'm changing it to an Ice Cream Blog! I'm just going to write all about ice cream! I haven't started it yet but when I do I'll announce it!

Your Brain is Purple

Of all the brain types, yours is the most idealistic.
You tend to think wild, amazing thoughts. Your dreams and fantasies are intense.
Your thoughts are creative, inventive, and without boundaries.

You tend to spend a lot of time thinking of fictional people and places - or a very different life for yourself.
I thought this one was pretty funny! I had to do it.

More Info!!!!

This is so exciting! Mom emailed our agency for more information on the little girl on the special needs list!! If no one else is asking for her then we will be waiting 6-9 months from now to get our precious Sarah Grace! If it's best case we could possibly have her for Christmas, worst case would mean March of next year. Either way? It's not very far!!! I can't stop smiling!!

I'd also like to let all of you know that once I start posting pictures of Sarah, the blog will be password protected.

So True!

My Mom and I were doing these and I found the Vegetarian one and we had to do. It's so true!! ;)

You Probably Couldn't Be a Vegetarian

The truth is, you really like your meat - a lot more than you like animals.
For you, being vegetarian is hardly even a choice. You'll take steak over tofu any day.
A vegetarian lifestyle is not in the cards for you. You're just not going to go there!

You Are Coffee Ice Cream

Energetic and lively, you are always on the go.
You're doing a million things at once and doing them well.
You tend to motivate others and raise spirits.

You are most compatible with chocolate ice cream.

You Are a Trifle

No doubt, you have many intricate layers. But deep down, you're a little squishy.

What Am I Quizes!

I just did oneof those What Kind of _____ Are You?


You Are a Red Flower

A red flower tends to represent power, seduction, and desire.
At times, you are loving like a red tulip.
And at other times, you're very enthusiastic, like a bouvardia.
And more than you wish, your passion is a bit overwhelming, like a red rose.

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Today's Mom and Dad's 17th anniversary! So happy anniversary Mom and Dad! :)

Sickness!

Yesterday I got the 24 hour flu out of no where! I was fine all day but then around 2 I started to get all achy and stiff. At around 4 I took a nap and woke up 3 hours later with a 102.3 fever. UGH! So I got no sleep whatsoever last night, because my fever came back and would not go away, and I woke up this morning from 2 hours of sleep and felt fine! Tonight I will sleep very good. :)

Wait May Increase to 3 Years!!

Mom was looking at the China wait times and China is only doing one week of referrals. At this rate, Sarah Grace's referral won't be coming until 2009. This is getting very frusterating. Anyway about the Special Needs thing. We got the pictures of the baby's on the list and all of them are SO CUTE (are any baby's not?)! The one our agency was trying to point us at is a 10 month old little girl who has a cleft lip and palate. She is so ADORABLE! But again, we're not even sure if this is something we're gonna do. But I'll keep you guys updated.

PS~ If you live in Illinois, stay cool! It's HOT out!

~Special Needs List~

So this morning Mom e-mailed our social workers asking for the Special Needs List. We're just thinking about it. Its like an idea, so no definates. But it's possible. We haven't gotten the list yet but when we do, you'll know.

Tuesday, June 5, 2007

OK!

Okay now that I'm finished going all mushy. LOL. Today was another very rainy day. Great way to start off the summer, eh mates! It's all muddy and gross out so I can't shoot any hoops. I also must say that Roxi needs a bath very badly, but it's so muddy out that I can't give her one!So we have a very smelly dog running around the house. Very sad, I know. I also must say that she loves to trick people into trying to take her bones. I, having experiance the trouble I get myself into - by my very own dog -when she does this, don't fall for her tricks. But two nights ago she broght her bone right next to me and gave me a "Go ahead, I dare you to take it," look, to which I replied, "Thanks Girl, but I'm much smarter than I look." So she sat down with a huff and started chewing her bone. I have to say, my dog is not a nice dog.

Oh My Goodness!

Hey everyone! I was just looking at a few new blogs and just noticing how many families are choosing to adopt little girls from China! So I would just like to say that doing this is probably one of the most amazing things that any parent and family could do. I pray that China will not close down their program and that they will allow these little girls to be taken home to a family that will love them and take care of them for the rest of their lives.

LUCKY HAS RETURNED!!

I never wrote anything about this but today is a good day to do it. On Memorial Day Dad hung up our flag. Ever since he hung it up Lucky hasn't come out of my room! Finally today he came out! YEA!!!!!!!!!! He's acted like he just came home, though. It's to cute! He looks like he doesn't know where he is, and he's very jittery and tense. Welcome Back Luckster!



5 (or so) Months Old


Now-5 Years Old

Very Clumsy Girl!

I just had to post those pics before I did anything else. So my title is Very Clumsy Girl - meaning me. Let me give you the scoop on how clumsy I've been.

Monday- Wait! I wasn't clumsy at all on Monday. The clumsiness started Wednesday!

So Wednesday- I was vacuming my room and ended up tripping over the vacume cord and almost fell on Lucky, who got scared and jumped on my dresser knocking over a bunch of stuff. Not to bad.

Thursday- I had to clean the kitchen. First I slipped on a puddle of water - yeah ouch- and fell into the chair. Then I left the wet rag on the floor and slipped on that. Finally at dinner I totally missed the glass when filling up drinks and got water all over my newly washed floor. Thankfully it was water.

Friday - was a pretty clumsy free day.

Yesterday (Saturday)- Yesterday I went outside to shoot some hoops but it started to rain so I went back inside. Later at around 5 I went back out and it was all muddy because of the rain and the boys were working with dirt. I'll tell you now, I hate wearing shoes I prefer being barefoot in the summer. Well with the mud and me runnning around with the basketball I slipped in the mud and OH MY GOODNESS! Broke a nail. LOL. That's not bad, but it feels pretty weird. Anyway, Today's going pretty good except for me slamming the door on my heel.

I really think I could win an award at complaining and being clumsy. LOL.


Picture Purrrrrr-fect!














I got these pictures of Lucky yesterday. I was playing with him and he was doing all the really picture perfect things, so I just had to get the camera. The really big one on the top is my absolute favorite. I love how he has his tongue on his nose!

Saturday, June 2, 2007

Pictures?


I came on my blog and scrolled through my previous posts and noticed I rarely ever post a picture! How sad is that? Lucky for me Roxi was outside sleeping in a postition that is my favorite!

Friday, June 1, 2007

No More Chicks

Change in plans. We're not getting the chicks today. Farm and Fleet only had them from March to May.

CHICKYS!!

We're getting chicks today! We're going to go to Farm and Fleet and get them. I can't wait. I already have the kind that I'm gonna get picked out and we're going to see if they have them. Mom says that we're going to keep them in the basement for a while, while Dad and the boys build the coop. I will definatly post pictures once we get them.

Staci Tagged Me Last Week!

I just noticed that I never did Staci's tag! So here's my tagging answer's or whatever they're called. LOL.


7 things that few people know about me.


I love Cool Whip on Strawberrys. I didn't even know this until a family party and it was one of the snacks. So good!


I want to travel Europe. I decided this last year when I had to do a report on Greece. That will be my first stop.


I have never been on a plane. To scary. LOL.


The first time I ever was on a train was in 2005. Haven't been on one since then.


I use to hate Flip-flops. I always hated the thing that goes between your toes. I love them now though!


When I was younger I use to hate being a girl. I use to want to crew cut my hair. I don't know how that happened. I think it was because I live with 2 boys.

I'm allergic to peanuts- I actually just figured this out. We were at a restaurant that served raw peanuts and then you could just throw the shells on the floor. I had a lot of peanuts and I suddenly got all itchy! The weird thing is that I can have pistachio's and honey roasted peanuts.

Okay so now anybody who wants to do this tag go ahead!

Blog Fun!

I can't believe this! I'm getting really good at 'decorating' my blog! All I need now is a map of all the people who visit my blog and the countries they're from and I think I'll be done. Well I don't really think I'll ever be done, but I think you guys get my meaning.

Pirates 3

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was really good. I didn't jump at all like I did in the second one. It ended like there was going to be a part 4 to it, which would be really cool. Anyone who hasn't seen it should.

Saturday, May 26, 2007

Pirates 3!

I'm going to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 in about 30 minutes! I'm so excited.

Tuesday, May 22, 2007

Movies, Movies, Movies!!

I've just noticed something. 2007 is the year of 3's in movies. Spider-man 3, Shrek the Third, and Pirates of the Caribbean 3. I've seen Spider-man 3 and it was pretty good, but I wouldn't go and see it again, Shrek 3 just sounds plain dumb, but I really want to see Pirates of the Caribbean. I think that one is going to be the best.

Still Waiting

Still waiting for Sarah Grace. Mom just told me that its possible that the next batch of referrals will be starting at November 1, 2005 all the way to mid November. At this rate it looks like we'll be getting Sarah around November of 2008, then we'll have waited 21 or 28 (I'm not really sure) from our LID.

Long Time NO Write


I can't believe how long it's been since I've written. I just read this really good book. I totally recommend it to all teen girls. It's the Christy Miller Collection by Robin Jones Gunn. Its sooooooo good!!! My mom picked it out for me at the Library and I wasn't sure if it would be good or not, but it so was. I'm trying to get a hold of Volumes 2, 3 ,& 4. That's the cover of Volume 1. If you type the title in at your library it might come up as individual books instead of the Volumes. But again I totally recommend it. :)

SNOW!!! IN APRIL!!!!

I can not believe what I saw today. Snow!!! In April!! My grandpa always brings up the time when their was a snow storm in April. I of course wasn't even alive then, but now I can go up to him and say "Remember when you always bring up that snow storm that happened in April? Well a few days ago it was a total deja vu'!"

So my spring (Ha ha) choir concert is next week and then that Saturday or the week after that is the State Contest. I'm so nervous for state! This one song we're doing 'Alleluia' is a really cool song. We keep repeating Alleluia but we sing it in different ways. It's really pretty.

Somethin fun

I was just looking for a quiz or something fun like that to put on the blog and I found this website.

www.thequiz.com

I'm not sure if you have to pay or not though. I completed the quz but then I had to fill out a survey that said something about mailing so I'm not sure about paying.

Thank you!

Thank you so much Emmie. I really appreciate it.

I GOT MY LAPTOP!!

I got my laptop yesterday!! I love it! It came with a free printer which will probably be here around next week because it wasn't in stock at the store. Anyone looking for a laptop go to
www.circuitcity.com , they're having a great sale!

LAPTOP!!


I've been saving for a laptop for about 3 months now and I only need $30.00!! I'm sooo excited! Mom says that this brand is the best (Compaq) so I decided to focus on this one now. I first was at Toshiba but that was around $800. This one being $630 and having all the things that I want, is a pretty good choice in my opinion.
