Looking back

Two years ago today we were just getting on a bus to take us to the adventure of our newest family member. The same scared feelings as we had just before we had McKenna. The past two years have been wonderful. We love her so much. My desk top computer is down and I cannot access the pictures so I cannot display that day but if you go to nannyland.blogspot.com you will see pictures a year ago of us meeting her in a collage. Here she is today brightening our lives. Right now she is potty training and is learning her alphabet, she only recognizes "O" but she knows that letters make an alphabet and her favorite color is ORANGE. This picture is of her in her beautiful, beautiful dress as she refers to it.

Happy Birthday McKenna

She got her dream gift, a bowling ball.

Update on US

Things went well with work.

McKenna is loving school and has started the first sciene class. She is doing well and trying hard this year.

Marielle is starting to assert her independance as all kids her age do and she is trying to potty train.

They are saying the house will be done in November. We will see I am still thinking December.

I am learning to use the video/still camera so more pictures of the kids will be here.

We can't wait to move.

New House Picture

Another week goes by and things are going well

McKenna and Marielle are doing well. Having fun at school. Not much to tell but a birthday coming up and FAMILY DAY coming up.

House has windows, so far it is a go.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001.... Thanks to all those who have served and who will yet serve. Thanks to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. May GOD hold them in his hands.

May God bless GENE COTRELL AND HIS MEN as they embark on their tour of duty in Iraq.


God BLESS AMERICA.

Monday Maddness

What do you do when you get put on call from work and your babysitter has forgotten and there is no one there when you get called in.. This is my dilemma today.

Luckily so far no call from work has come, I called them and they know the situation and hopefully things will calm down and I won't get called in. UGGGGGGGGGGG.

I guess it is time to actually find a day care instead of a friend to watch her. It actually is only one day a week. Most day cares want a weekly fee and I dont' want her in daycare except the one day a week we need her , the other day daddy is home. I know some people reading this will think I should stay home but when you need money for a third and final adoption that is just not an option. I feel so strongly there is one more little guy out there for us and so we will just go on and hope that mommy does not get called to come in or daddy or mommy will have a little helper today.
