Still biting my fingers...

Nothing, nada, zilch.....ugggghhh it's killing me! I knew that I should not read anything into that email. Their office is now up and running assuming they open at 8 or 8:30. Maybe I will at least hear why she sent the email so I can know whether it was standard or something better. Oh, I hope it's something better. I am wearing a maternity-like shirt just in case :)

Summer Fun At The Park





Two Friday nights ago Harrison was invited to a spend the night at "Aunt Sherrie's" house. Aunt Sherrie was my mom's best friend and the little girl in the picture is her granddaughter - i would use her name, but I haven't asked her mom to make sure its ok. They went to Chuck E. Cheese and then home for a slumber party. The next morning started with homemade pancakes, a puppet show at the local theater and then fun at a local park. I met them at the park and caught these great pictures!

Uncle Jeff is a Graduate!


We are so proud of Uncle Jeff from graduating with a criminal justice degree. The ceremony was the weekend before the 4th and just lovely. Jeff worked really hard and we were so happy to celebrate his accomplishment with him. For those of you that don't know, Uncle Jeff is my hub's twin brother.


Of course, I left the ceremony having decided that I needed my PHD so that people have to call me Dr. :) Hubs didn't think that was too funny!

I Love My Secret Pal!





My Secret Pal is awesome, but I appear to be technically challenged here b/c I cannot get my pictures in the correct direction. Secret Pal, you always make us feel so special with your generous and fun presents. This one was super special because not only was it eco-friendly, but it had a swatch of fancy smancy fabric. Love it!!!!! Thanks so much Secret Pal!!!

Grandma Drama Mama

Last week we had a super special surprise. When I stopped by Drama Mama's house to say hello, there was something special waiting for us. Miss Kim had told her mom all about Baby Sissy and her special quilt and her mom went all out sending her special wish for Baby Sissy.
These fabrics are incredible, but my favorite is the one with all of the little kids on it of all nationalities - including a little Asian darling. On top of the great fabrics is a super super crafty page with fabric samples and a wonderful heartfelt wish. No wonder Miss Kim and the Drama Mama are so great, they have a great Mom/Grandma!


Thanks Grandma Drama Mama

Gotta love the fabric!


Baby Sissy received beautiful fabric from The Borman Family in Reno. They are part of my May 2007 LID group and we were just thrilled to receive this crafty wish and beautiful fabric! Aren't the colors fantastic? I can't wait to see how it looks when we put everything together. I have been completely humbled by the graciousness of families who take the time to contribute to this special tradition for Baby Sissy.

I'm Nervous....

...about what this week may bring. Rumor is a new shared list may hit the system this week. On top of that excitement we received a pretty innocuous email from our agency late Thursday night that has me eating my fingernails :)

Please say a little prayer for me this week that I can concentrate on what I need to concentrate on and that if a call does come that I don't freak out.

I am so behind on my blogging and I am going to try to catch up later tonight to fill this week. So many great things have happened. Oh, I and successfully finished week 1 of Turbo Jam. I celebrated with a gluttonous weekend in the mountains.
