This blog was set up to journal the wait for Chynna, who is from Jiangxi China (we were LID 7/14/06, and received our referral 8/29/11). I am so happy you are joining in this amazing journey.

Wacky Wed...what scent candle should you light?
You Should Light a Berry Candle |
You are creative yet down to earth. You have unique tastes, but you aren't snobby or picky. You crave new experiences. You enjoy unusual things even more once you can get your friends into them. You're the type of person who's a trend setter and an innovator. You know what's fated to become popular. You find the world energizing and inspiring. For you, there's nothing like the thrill of discovery. |

You Are Vanilla |
You are a delightful, friendly person. You are optimistic about life and people. You are enthusiastic and energetic. You enjoy everything you do. You are cooperative and flexible. You get along with people from many walks of life. You're not a show off. Instead, you're more likely to help other people shine. |

Adam in the tree....
I'm a little behind on posting this, but hey better late than never right??
On Valentine's Day, my nephews came over my mom's house and I got to play with Adam (Andrew is still a little to young to play, but I did get to hold him).
It was such a beautiful day, Adam and I went stroller racing with Andrew and then when we came back we blew bubbles, after which Adam decided to climb the tree in Mom's backyard.
He's so good at climbing.





I love spending time with my nephews. Thanks Adam and Andrew for a fun-filled afternoon!!

Wacky Wed...what street sign are you?
You Are ONE WAY |
When you're confronted with a problem, you know exactly how you want to handle it. You are decisive and act quickly. Once you get the ball rolling, you don't change course. You can be a bit stubborn at times, but you have reason to be. You're often right. You are unwavering and brave. You do what needs to be done, even if it isn't popular. |

Please help a fellow blogster...
A wonderful woman I have "met" here in Blogland (who is so generous to the adoption community doing all kinds of fundraisers and online baby showers to those she has only "met" online) after waiting quite some time has received some wonderful news, she received the referral for her daughter, Sophia Jane.
Kim, aka Red Mary Janes will be traveling to China to bring home Sophia Jane and needs to raise money for the orphanage donation. She has set up a site wherein she is auctioning off numerous things (I've put a link to her site on my sidebar). Please take a moment and check it out and help Kim bring Sophia home.

Wacky Wed...what Internet slang are you?
You Are LOL |
The internet is always cracking you up. You could waste the day away finding things to laugh at. You're usually the first one to find a new funny video, picture, or website. You're always up for wasting time online, even if (especially if) you're at work. You also tend to spend a lot of time chatting, especially with people who make you laugh out loud. |

Wacky Wed...what girl scout cookie are you?
You Are Peanut Butter Patties / Tagalongs |
You are creative and artistic. When you think, you tend to think big. You go for the drama. You love excitement and passion... even if it gets you in trouble. You are intense and a little self centered. You can be quite full of yourself (but not without reason). You tend to be very indulgent. If you feel like having something, you go ahead and treat yourself. |

Wacky Wed...what's your 80's karaoke song?
Yes, I do like to party like it's 1999....what a great throwback quiz!! bring back the 80's, hehe
Your 80s Song is "1999" |
If you were transported back to the 80s, your life would be all about living large. You love the excess that the 80s represented, even if the party wasn't meant to last. You think of the 80s as a time of wild fashions, big money, and fast cars. And that's a world you wouldn't mind being a part of! |
