Another wreath?!?

It must be an illness. Every few months, the gals and I get together for "craft day" (make no assumptions of my craftiness capabilities). All I can ever think of to craft is a wreath. This one is number 5. Does anyone know of a support group that helps poor souls like me?

Getting myself to a bookstore

National Geographic Magazine's latest issue focuses on China. Tons of different feature articles online and in print. Lots of videos, too. I was wowed by the fascinating aerial pictures of China. I think this issue will make a nice keepsake for our child.

Introducing Ms. Gumble

Congratulations to our great-niece Hailey on getting a new last name: Gumble! (Remember the Gumbles?) Today was the court date for Dave's adoption of Hailey, and now Daddy and Hailey have the same last name.
Apparently there was some confusion earlier on Hailey's part... she thought her new name was going to be Hailey Dave Gumble. She LOVES her Daddy - and Mommy, too!

Are we there yet?

We've got a week of vacation coming up at the end of May, and I want to know, "Are we there yet?"

Oh how I need to be there soon. Off with the hubby in the mountains, in a lovely 2 BR cabin with jacuzzi, wireless internet access, and mangy curs allowed.

Adoption Status Update

Rumors are that this past month the CCAA matched babies with families whose applications were received up to and including January 9, 2006. (Whimper.)
