Almost caught up...

So, on 7/27, we got a call that told us that my DH had something show up on his USCIS report that wasn't in the homestudy - so we're having to go backwards and add in things that we didn't have before. ::sigh:: It's costing $$ and TIME - more importantly TIME. It isn't a big deal, but it may mean we don't get to travel until after Christmas and that makes me VERY SAD.

Today when I was checking email I got a letter from someone with LWB. We had donated money for the orphanage renovation where Annabelle is. They are helping them expand their facilities and they sent photos of the work to those who had donated! GUESS WHO is in the pictures! Annabelle - sitting on the POTTY of all things! (I'm 99% sure it's her....and now I have confirmation) I got to see my sweetie's little tushie! bahahaha.. I would post it here but they've asked that we not post these photos publicly. But trust me.. it's SO CUTE. She's such a little chubbykins. The hard part is - seeing her picture has made me want to go GET HER NOW. I'm all antsy and I doubt I'll sleep tonight. Hey, at least she's potty trained and wearing undies instead of a diaper! Ohhhh Emmmmmaaa-Grace! ::grin:: (I dread potty training.. all the immediate trips to the bathroom... we will make it though!!)

I'm going to a scrapbook convention next weekend. I can't wait. I'm actually sleeping in a hotel WITH NO CHILDREN on Friday night and Saturday Night!
