Our First Adoption Story--It's Beginning to Look a lot like Baby!


Packing everything we need for the baby into a suitcase has kept me in a fanatical list-making mode. OK, so maybe the shoes are a little over board . . . but we'll have them readily available for when we finally bring our son home. I want to maximize the number of times this little guy can wear his littlest clothes.

I am also carrying a list around of all the possible flights we could take if we get the call before our scheduled flight on January 29.

Oh Carm! I think it IS official, 'cause your suitcase sure is packed with baby boy stuff! And being one that LOVES accessories, I think a pair of matching shoes (or 2) never hurt anyone! ;} Love you!

Carmin, we are all bursting at the seams for you! I am so excited for this new little baby boy to join your family. Is there anything you still need for him? I love the memory lane you took us on of your anniversaries! 3 years! Wow! I loved the apron too! What a good idea! Sure love you and miss you!
