New Clothes and Some Pictures

Edited to add: I received this email from my contact at Labcorp today...

Christina just so you know...case reveiw sheet has printed ...this means it willnow go to our PHD for review and calculations...if no further testing is needed it could possibly be released tomorrow,I will keep you posted...hang in there

We are sooo close. I expect PINK next week. Then it will probably be about 2 weeks to travel.


This is Liliana's bouncer, but I think Moke Moke has other ideas. :) He glared at me after I took the photo, I was disturbing his peaceful slumber. Hahaha

Toby and Daddy playing at I wish I would have gotten this on video cause Toby was giggling up a storm. It was hysterical.

Two new outfits I got for Liliana over the weekend. They were half off the already reduced price at Toys R Us. I got the pink dress (for her embassy appt) for $5.20 and the four piece navy outfit for $3.45. I couldn't pass those steals up. I also got Toby two new sweatsuits for $10. I was like a kid in a candy store.

I got these adorable shoes for 70% off to go with the pink dress.

Just a pic of Toby trying his best to avoid my picture taking. He was pretending to watch a show he wasn't at all interested in.

TGIF Everyone

Two things:

1. Lili's DNA arrived at the lab today and is finaling being processed. They will ship it back to Guatemala next week and we should get our appointment dates the following week. As of today they have pretty much booked all the appointments for January, so it's looking like February. Bummer, BUT she is coming home SOON!!

2. I added new music. My taste is very ecletic, so it's a variety. There would have been an even bigger variety but for the life of my I couldn't remeber who sings some of my favorite songs. So you get what you get. Feel free to mute it or choose your favorite from the list to listen to. It's at the bottom of the page. And let me know what you think.

As always, Love to all our family and friends (and even my blog readers) who have supported us through all this. We will very soon be at the end of our journey. For now. ;)

Just call him Hans

Mimi made him the adorable hat and sweater set. When added to the coveralls he looks like he should be climbing the Alps.

His idea of avoiding the picture, too bad he looks so stinking cute like this.

Hmm, I wonder how he'd look in liederhosson?

Peek...I see you Mommy...Hahaha

Happy Birthday to the BEST Mommy EVER!

And I mean it! My Mom is a terriffic, caring, very giving, understanding person. Her goal was to make us the same and though we have tried, I don't think we'll ever be as good at it as she is. She has taught me the kind of Mommy I want to be and I try very hard every day to be like her. My Mom came to every function I ever had, including every football game even though I was only the trainer. She listened to my problems and never made them seem small. We fought like crazy through my teenage years, but she would never let me or her stay mad. And even though I am a Daddy's Girl, I most certainly always needed my mommy just as much. She is also a riot. She has broken wooden spoons when trying to be "mean" only to make us laugh. She has surfed on the dining room table at New Years, taken me out for my 21st and my bachlorette party. She was the kind of Mom that I actually wanted to take with me and my friends places and she is now my Best Friend. Oh, and she is the BEST NaNa. I love you Mommy and I hope you have a GREAT day and an even better Year. Here are just a few of the pictures I have of my Mom. I spared you Mom...cause you know I have some doozies! ; )
