I stand in awe

I always stand in awe of people (particularly women) who have such an intimate relationship with God. They always touch me and renew my faith, a faith I want handed down to my daughter. I want so much for her to grow up knowing God's love and direction for her life.

To name a few of these women, the first would be my sister in law, Donna, at a time when it would have been so easy for her to walk away, she turned to God and I found myself amazed, I never once heard her question God on why he took Devan home at such an early age. I am a God fearing and God loving person, but I cant stand before you and say that I could do the same. I remember going to a retreat with her and being amazed at the women there and so many of them had that intimate relationship with God.

Patricia, a fellow blogger and adoptive mom, never fails to renew my belief in God. Any time spent with her, talking to her, or just reading her words, I always walk away with a peace in my heart.

Then there is another mom and blogger, whom I've never met or even talked to. I stumbled across her blog one day not long after Grace came home. Her blog "Bring the Rain" is about her fourth daughter. She found out early in her pregnancy the baby would not survive, and she choose to carry her to term. It is an awesome and amazing story. And again, I just stand in awe. I haven't checked her blog in awhile, I've been so busy, I don't check anyone much any more. I was surprised to find she is expecting another baby. I am so thrilled for her and her family.

These women and so many more remind me of the person I want to be.

I find in my old age it is best to share my thoughts instead of keeping them to myself.

Captain D's

I haven't worked for Captain D's since 2001 , so I was surprised at how hard this hit home. The location where I started back in 1986, just months after it opened was destroyed by fire last week. This was an intense fire. In all the time I worked for D's and since, I've never know a fire to get that bad, that it destroys the building. I met Paul Ray there on my first day of work 08/26/1986, and also my very best friend Bonny.

I hope they rebuild it, but it wont be the same. Paul Ray was the manager that opened that location.

Work

I have had the pleasure of working for most likely the worlds best boss since March 2005!!!!!! He and his partners owned the local Dunkin Donut Shops here in Charleston, well in 2007 he sold the stores, stayed on as a small owner and operator.

He has left the company, too many details that cant be posted. This has been and continues to be an extremely stressful time. Cant explain it but it has felt like a loss of a family member.

Not sure what will happened in the future, but I do know that I am stress extremely thin. One person cannot do this job the right way. We have the accountant (Chief Financial Officer) coming down to spend a few days with me this week. Lets hope I get through this week shall we. I have always loved this job, I hope that I find that once again, but I'm not holding my breath.

Love Story

I love a good love story.

What a sad story. Patrick Swayze lost his battle to cancer this week. My heart goes out to his wife. They were married 34 years, I can not even image being that in love with someone for so long and then have to go on without that person. Now dont get me wrong, I know it happens all of them time. However in today's world, that is hard to come by. Very hard, this world is changing ever so quickly and it is not for the better. Our younger generation is being raised with no manners and it seems everyone thinks they are entitled to what ever they want, and it doesn't matter if it hurts someone else. Marriages these days dont mean they same as they used to. Once upon a time, I do meant until death do you part. And even most of the ones that do last, someone is not faithful. I just cant help but wonder where this world is going. Are we really so rude that we cant let a young girl except an award without stepping in? Like the president or not, what happen to respecting the President of the United States. I just dont understand what is happening to this country. May God have mercy on us all.

I somehow got way off track, I watched this video for the first time today, it is of Patrick Swayze and his wife. Click here.

I wish / hope that we could all experience a love like theirs. May God bless you and keep you safe.

Much Love

Peggy

Chinese School

I finally got a hold of someone at the local Chinese School. It starts on Aug 23. So Grace will be attending that on Sunday afternoon, in addition to school and dance.

She had her first melt down this morning as I was dropping her off at Ashlee Gails house. It was weired, seeing how she came dancing down the stairs this morning yelling Happy Cow Day everyone, I didn't even have to wake her up. Cow Day - Aunt Bonny is taking them to some event at the local Chic Fila today. Should be lots of fun. She ended up coming to work with me due to her melt down. But she is well now, and already has asked me 3 times how long before Aunt Bonny comes!!!!!!!! It could be a very long morning. But at least its Friday, and next Thursday we head to the mountains. Looking forward to it. We're going to Dollywood, I've never been so should be lots of fun. Our hotel is right next door to the Bass Pro Shop so I'm sure we'll have a trip or TWO there.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Carnival Dream

All I can do is Dream and wish I was on a ship! Did I say I was in need of a vacation. I NEED A VACATION. I don't want one, I NEED one, there is a difference. In the meantime I'll just plan. And hopefully, we can take a weekend trip this summer.

My cruiseline of choice: Carnival

My ship of choice: Dream (comes out later this year)

My room of choice: well lets face it, I can't afford my room of choice, but perhaps a balcony stateroom this time around.

Our location: Eastern Caribbean (finally) I've been wanting to see St Thomas and St Maarten for a long time.

Sat Day One: Leave Port Canaveral

Sun Day Two: Bahama's : our excursion: ATLANTIS AQUAVENTURE
it seems every cruise takes you to the Bahama, so we might as well enjoy our time there. I've visited the hotel when on a cruise with Bonny, it is nice, but we just looked around, it will be nice to enjoy their beach, etc. They have a waterslide that goes underwater and has sharks swimming, now, dont think for a second I'm getting on that slide, but I can see where it would be fun.

Mon Day Three: At Sea (time for relaxing and some pampering)

Tue Day Four: St Thomas : our excursion: ?????

Wed Day Five: St Maarten: our excursion: ?????

Thur Day Six: At Sea

Fri: Day Seven: At Sea

Sat: Day Eight: Port Canaveral

I really want to do some para sailing somewhere! We've done the horseback riding on the beach, I loved it on the beach, I hated it in the water.

FACEBOOK, I've joined all the others who have a facebook and it is addictive and my DH hates it for some reason!

Derby Time

At time of this post there are 25 day 20 hours and 13 minutes until the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby! I'll be watching from home again, but still holding out hope to one day attend this gala event. If I had my choice of any sporting event to attend, this would be it. But I want to sit with the owners PLEASE, I want to attend the parties and be a part of it all, which is really unlike me.

1969

Maybe one day, I'll have a nice Derby Party and all the ladies will be required to dress accordingly. Here are two hats I've picked out!

Gracies first night away from us

Turned out ok. When it came time to go, she got very clingy and didn't want me to leave, but after about 20 minutes I calmed her down. At this point I wasn't sure we would make it all night.

Our wait for a table was one hour!!!!!! I did talk to her once or twice more that night. By the time she got up this morning and was calling me, we were pulling into the drive way.

She had a good time. Her PaulPaul and Caleb went to Walmart where she got her Ka-Lin movie. They then went to Ryan's to eat dinner with some Friends. Paul said she woke up around midnight, but went back to sleep.

So it all worked out really well.

Hope everyone had a very Happy Valentines Day!

Love

Peggy

Random Pictures and Thoughts from the week

My Very Long Stressful Week:

We were on our way to work, (twice this week I was there at 7am - and there until 6 at least twice) I turned around to check on her and this is her pose. She rides like that alot, and I happened to have the camera with me.

By her look, you can tell she didn't want me to take the picture.

As promised, pics from my new home, oops I mean office.

This is Paul's desk.

And here is mine.


And what office room is complete with out toys???


And here is my cork board, can you see the picture on there.

note

oops, i had to remove that picture, if you enlarged it, there were details that should not have been posted.

How about this, you can even see I've wrote the date on it. You would think my husband would have noticed by now?????? See, now he cant say he wasnt notified of our upcoming vacation. :) :) :)
Just a random picture of Baby Noah. This child's head is made of stone, be very careful when going to give him a kiss. He finds it funny to headbutt you.

I finally heard back from Gracie's test. They are some type of bugs. However there are 80,000 different types of bugs, (did you know that - that's about 79,900 too many). She has called in a daily med, actually two of them. And she said not to let her outside without bug spray!!!! Oh joy. Good thing, I was planning on her being a dancer.

Grace, PaulPaul and I are all fighting some type of cold/flu, which makes for so much fun. My boss told me I had better not be getting sick again!

I've got to go cook a cake, my daddy is coming over for his birthday tonight. Maybe I'll find the strenght to clean some also.

Tomorrow we are (health permitting) attending our very first FCC (families with Chinese Children) event. I'm really excited.

And next Saturday, 10 months after bringing my baby home, we're planning on leaving her overnight for the first time. Its valentines, so Paul and I are planning on going off for the night, not so far that we couldn't get home quickly if we needed to. So say a prayer for PaulPaul, he and Grace have gotten pretty close, so it should be fine.

Yesterday, we went to Walmart and Paul had left the back seat up in the back of the van, I was trying to put it down and I said outloud, I'm gonna kill him! Grace said, Who Momma? I said PaulPaul, she got so upset, but Momma, "He's my Brother"!!!! IT WAS THE CUTEST THING!!!!

Well I've rambled enough, have a great weekend.

Is this week over YET?????

Has it only been a week since I posted? This has been a long week, I'm sorry did I say Long!!!!! On the one hand time is just flying by, Jan is already over, it was just Christmas. But then there are those times that just drag by.

Let see, we went into the week with our lease at the new office not being signed yet, to it finally getting signed, us getting packed and completely moved out and into a new office by Friday. There were a couple of long days in there, and I'm fixing to start some more work when I finish this post. I have yet to finish my December bank statements and January's will be ready this week. URRRRRHHHHHH if I could just get caught up!

So lets see, Grace is working on getting sick, she has a cough and a runny nose.

Here is a picture of Grace and Ashlee Gail. We went to breakfast last week for my birthday.

We took Grace for a tour of the school we hope that she will attend. Its Cathedral Academy. We submitted our application and are waiting to hear when she will be tested and then we have to wait to see if they are going to accept her. Getting into Kindergarten shouldn't be so hard. I have a feeling they want to put her in K4, not because she is not a bright child, because she is, but because she is still learning the ins and outs of our language.

Its a nice school, I'll keep you posted. I've already started getting her clothes for the school year, I hope she is in a six by then!

Here she is the day of the tour.

My mom bought her this jacket for Christmas, she has only worn it once, I sure hope it still fits next year.

She finally finished all of her shots and is finished until she is 11 except for the flu shot each year, and I think she can get the mist for that.

PaulPaul was out of school for three days so he kept Grace for 2 of them. Grace is a homebody and likes to stay home. He was able to get her to come down the slide by herself. Yea, PaulPaul!

But wait, what is my baby girl wearing!!!! Can it be, yes he has put his camouflage jacket from when he was little on her. And if it wasn't enough that she had it on, they went all over town in it!!!!!!

Our office (I'll take some pics this week) is a remodeled house and I love it, its about 15 minutes closer to home, so YEA!!!!!!!! I was spending an hour one way in the car, so that in itself is awesome. But the house has hardwood floors throughout. It does have a complete kitchen and a screened porch. My office is bigger than what I had and I now have a real desk once again. When I returned to work in August my boss had promised me a new desk, (my old one is being used by Lyndsey and the old admin that we hired to replace me went out and bought herself a desk that well is entirely too small for an admin to work at.) When I went back money was tight, so I didn't get one, as we were planning the move, my boss asked if wanted his desk and chair, I hope he didn't expect me to say NO, because hello, I did. Well they are both (and his monitor - it was bigger and my vision is not so great) are nicely settled into my new home (as I call it). So all is well there and we are up and running. Grace however does not have her own room now, so she is back and forth from my room to the kitchen. I really need to start looking for a daycare, but honestly that just freaks me out. I don't recall having so much of an issue when the boys were younger, was it because I was so young or because they always stayed with family either way, I'm not sure. Tom (my boss) says she can stay there but I know its the right thing for her.

My oldest son Brandon who moved out months ago, has now gotten an apartment with Lyndsey and another friend. They moved in yesterday, I haven't seen it yet, so I need to do that.

The Superbowl is tomorrow, I always vote for the team with the cutest Quarter Back, yes you heard me right!!!!! So I'm not sure yet who that is. Chris, Erin and the boys are coming over.

I couldn't resist showing you all this picture. I was at the computer when I looked up and saw this, we had not been home long from dance class.

I'm planning to take her to the skating rink soon, I loved to skate as a child. I learned when I was about her age, and would go every weekend. It has to be good exercise and I really need that! So its a win win situation.

For all of you adoptive moms out there, I know you cant see it in the pics and I don't know if I've posted before. But Grace gets these bumps, looking at them you would think bug bites. We've been going to the doctor since she she came home. We finally took her to a dermatologist and they did a biopsy, we are still waiting to hear from them, but in the mean time I was wondering if any of your kids from China have had any similar bumps.

Calling all crusiers or if you'd like to be:

Now here is Royal Caribbeans Newest Ship coming out this year. As you can see on my sidebar, I'm planning my next vacation. This year we have a graduation and next year we have a wedding so we're (by we're, I mean ME) looking at June 2011 (right around Graces 7th birthday - she loved that Christopher's birthday was at Disney, and said she wanted to wake up there for her birthday, well sweetie Disney is not really a vacation for mommy so this will have to do) so anyway, any of my blogging buddies out there want to join us, let me know, I'd love to have you join us, and this ship is big enough you would have plenty of room to do what ever. (by whatever I mean you wouldnt be stuck with us) the more the merrier

Isnt she a beauty!!!!!!!!!!

Well I've rambled long enough, work to be done, I hope you all have a very nice week!

Peggy

As you can see Grace is asleep in her bed in her room. Last night was the first night. We put her to bed at 9, we got on the floor and stayed until 11:45.

She stayed there until 4 when she woke up, wide awake. She called for me, I'm not sure if she couldn't undo the gate or if she didn't try. Either way, she was up. She watched TV for the next 2 hours while I tried to sleep. I couldn't sleep for some reason last night. I watched TV until at least 2 before dozing off. It was strange having her in another room.

I'm sure it will get easier as time goes! It seems like she just came home, I feel like I've missed so much with her.

She gets to stay home with her brother tomorrow, Friday and Monday, no school till Tuesday! I wont know what to do at work without her.

Hope everyone is having a great week so far. And is it me or is January flying by at a very high rate of speed.

Peggy

Tea with Daddy and a new look for PaulPaul

I never thought I'd see Paul Ray having tea, but sure enough, here's the proof.

Gracie couldn't have gotten a better daddy! She is such a Daddy's Girl.

Since Grace got her room painted last week, PaulPaul got his done this week. This is the color of our half bath down stairs. I love it, turned out well. I told Paul he should do ours this color. He said he was done.

A Week In Reveiw

Well where do we start . . . . . .

Tuesday, Grace and I had our hair cut. It was her first since coming home. We just trimmed it actually. Evened it up some. It looks much better. She was so excited.

Sorry, I forgot to get one when she was done but in my defense her daddy did come to get her so she wouldn't have to wait on me. It was so funny, he was in and out. He was very uncomfortable, Annette (my hairdresser since around 2000) said most men are that way.

She loved having her hair done. She wouldn't let me put bows in it for the rest of the week. Even for dance class the next day. She would say, I don't want to mess up my new Hair Cut!


GRACE GETS MAIL
Now weekly Grace comes to me and wants to send someone a picture that she has drawn. She knows you have to have an envelope and a stamp.

So on Wednesday when we got home, she had gotten a card in the mail. This child was beyond excited. I think more so than Christmas. She was in awe. (you can notice her hair too)

A Letter For Me, She says!

She is being very careful not to tear it!

So Granny, thank you so much! You made her day! The prized possession is now tucked away with her special things.

Work:

Well we are moving our office and hiring a payroll service. It was a somewhat hectic week, but things are going ok. We will be moving to a location that is closer to home and it will also help narrow down the schools we are looking at for Grace. We'll be in it by 02/01. Its on Dixon right off of Remount.

This also means it is time to start looking at options for Grace. It is time that she start going to a daycare. I have to to be honest, the thought of someone else taking care of her scares me. We are thinking about talking to the schools we're interested in and seeing if we could not put her in K4 right now, mid year. She is a very bright little girl and eager to learn. I'm at a total loss of what to do. I want to do what is best for Grace, but what is that. I think we've narrowed it to two schools by the way.

We also had our work party last night. It was a nice turnout and I think everyone had a great time. Grace got to spend the day with her brother. That morning I was scheduled at 9 for my massage. OH it was heaven. 90 minutes of being rubbed was so nice. She actually did a exfoliating salt rub first followed by a steam shower. I felt so clean afterwards. Then another massage.

The guys are upstairs painting PaulPauls room right now. I have some work that needs to be done.

Hope everyone had a wonderful week.

Peggy

This was suppose to be a day of work (job work) but I cant concentrate to save my life.

We have our living room back, we left her table there.

We moved Pauls roll top desk back to our bedroom and put her kitchen where it was.

I've watched the (what has become the Annual) tree burning ceremony. I wish I had my camera to show you a pic, I thought of it after the smoke went down. It always amazes me how fast that thing lights up, and I do keep water in it. I can see how when a tree catches on fire in a home, I can understand the destruction it will cause. We are very careful, I never go to sleep with the lights on. Fire always scares me.

I love keeping up with and reading all my blogging friends blogs, and even those I'm not "friends" with, guess that makes me a lurker, I just read on those and don't comment. I'm always amazed at some who have the perfect home, they look like they should be in a magazine. I WAS NOT blessed with any type of decorating skills at all. Our home is and has always been very simple, come in kick your feet up type. And now its been reduced to the princess tea set attached to something via the jump rope. I love it, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I just downloaded the rest of the Christmas pics from that evening. Thought I'd share.

This was Grace as the family arrived for Supper that evening

Look at that sweet face.

I think this one is going to be one handsome young man, I image him being the all star high school football player. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
We drew names this year. I got Hunter (who opened it before I knew it) and Noah. I think Noah like the paper.
Grace got a doll, coloring book and crayons.
As much as I love Christmas, I'm glad to finally have it over. Ready to settle into a somewhat normal routine. I've got to find a balance. It takes me an hour to get home in the evening from work, so if I stay till 5 it's 6 by the time I get home, never mind finding time to cook and get Grace ready for bed. Like I said, I gotta find some routine.

My baby boy will finish school (insert prayer here) this year.

Gracie will start school, that should be interesting. But before school comes around, I need to find her a daycare over the next couple of months. I hope she adjusts ok to that.

Well as we all start back to regular work schedules this week, I hope yours go smoothly, I'm afraid to think of the next two and half weeks.

Peggy

Wow, it really looks like a girl lives in this house.....

Well I've been sick with the flu since the day after Christmas. It just doesn't want to go away. I've been trying to take it easy in hopes of being well before going back to work on Monday. Actually I have several hours of work to do from home today, so that I'm not so far behind.

But yesterday, with the help of PaulPaul and a friend of his (my dear son had a list of things he was given to be done a week ago and the list was still undone - I'm too easy on the boy). Anyway, we got the tree down, and all the Christmas stuff put up. We've moved Gracie's toys to the playroom (was once a dining room, now its my office/Gracie's playroom). Everything fit very nicely. Paul was able to pick up the furniture for Gracie's room that Tom gave her. Sunday he is suppose to paint the room. He may try painting her bed white to match the set that Tom gave her. That was all that was missing.

My house is now clean except for my laundry, which I hate doing.

Its my hope to have her room done tomorrow and to get her to sleeping up there in the coming week. She is so excited about it. Up and Down, she shows everyone. We have enough pink here and all the girly toys, I just love it. I love watching her have tea with her life size doll and her Pooh bear. Poor bear, she pulls the chair out and puts his mouth on the table and then pushes the chair up so he cant move.

Well I guess I need to get starting on my work, I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year!!!! Did I tell you the four of us were sound asleep when the new year came in.

New Years Resolution

I quit making these a few years back, but I'm going to give it a shot again this year. My life has spiraled into total mess. I've put on weight, I've become unorganized and just miserable. Go figure! This should be the happiest time of my life, right!!!!!!

So my husband and I both are going on a diet come the first!

I vow to get healthier

I vow to get more organized

I vow to get my life back to where it should be

I want Grace to grow up in a healthy happy home! So its time to get our life back in order!!!! We're going to get her room done over the next month and start the transition from our room to hers, however I don't want all of her toys up there, I want her downstairs with us As much As possible.

I need to find her a good preschool / daycare over the next months. I also need to go through my house and if I don't need it, I need to get rid of it.

I'm entirely too young to be so old already! When the boys were growing up, I would always get "You re his mother, you look like his sister" which usually would upset me, I don't want to go from that to, or "Are you her Grandmother"? There would not be funny AT ALL.

Anyway, my boss, did I tell you I love this man! He is the greatest ever. He is always worried about me and was asking what he can do, he called last night, I went home early sick, well on the 10th I'm going to Steella Nova for a 90 minute massage!!!!!! OH I cant wait! My first massage was on a Cruise, speaking of which my Craven family is going on one WITHOUT me, can you believe that! Someone have a drink for me, I know Debbie will take lots of pics.

Got a little off topic there, So anyone else care to share their New Years Resolution???

Please have a Happy SAFE New Years!!!!! And Call a Cab if you need to.

Thankful

As we celebrate Thanksgiving this year, I have so much to be thankful for.

To start with, we are celebrating our first Thanksgiving with our beautiful little girl. What a wonderful blessing she has been to our lives.

I have two healthy wonderful (sometimes) sons that bring me more joy than heartache. The both have manners in this world full of people who do not. I talked to Paul's counselor at school this week and she reduced me to tears. She went on to tell me thank you for raising a well mannered, respectful young man. God has blessed me wonderfully with children. I have also been blessed with a wonderful young lady for my soon to be daughter in law. I know she loves my son and takes good care of him. What more can a mother ask.

I have a husband who has always supported his family without fail. He has blessed me over and over. He says I'm spoiled, I prefer well loved. He is a unique man who doesn't show his emotions (unless he's mad) :) but now has a little girl who brings them all out now.

I have parents who have always stood beside me. I always knew I was loved, it was never questioned. They raised me to know right from wrong. I had a wonderful childhood.

I am an only child who gained 3 siblings when I married Paul Ray. His family also lives close by. His mom watched the boys when they were little so that I could work. Paul Ray was very close to his family, which was one of the things that attracted me to him.

I have an awesome boss that allows me to bring Grace to work and gives me the time that I need for her. As bosses go, He is the BEST!

I have a best friend that has been at my side for the last 20 years, she is the sister I never had.

There are so many things to be thankful for today, there are so many people who don't have nearly as much.

I hope you all have something to be thankful for today.

One more thing, I'm also thankful for my online friends, you guys are awesome.

Social Worker Visit

We had our 6 month (its actually been 7 months) visit with our Social Worker yesterday. I was a little concerned how Grace would do. I explained to her what would be happening. She played shy for about 3 minutes and then turned on the charm. She showed her pictures, told her who they were (for the most part), she sang and dance. She played the guitar for her, showed her some of her toys. She was just awesome. I'm looking forward to what the world brings my little girl.

Our SW was very pleased that she was doing so well and seems to be bonded all ready. I told her I had planned for the worse, but knock on wood, it hasn't showed up yet.

On another note, I emailed a letter to our Guide to translate and forward to Grace's foster family. I hope that they are able to email us back. I want so much for her foster mother to know how well she is doing. It breaks my heart at her loss. I admire all of you parents who foster children, knowing they will or could leave your home. God gave you a great big gift. God Bless You.

Well I must get to bed, it'll be time for work in a few hours.

Good Night

Peggy

Grace's Eye Appointment

Grace went to a specialist the Thursday we came home. Her regular doctor felt he may be able to do something to help with her distance vision.

He def wants to do a thorough exam while she is under, then also do some work on the alignment. She tends to turn her head when she is looking at things.

She is scheduled for the first Friday in Dec.

Can you believe its December Already! Whew, Time needs to slow down, it is flying past me. Darius Rucker has a song out that brings me to tears. Starts out with him singing about his newborn baby girl and his wife telling him not to worry, just hang on, it wont always be like this. Then about the little girl going to school and the teacher having to pull the child off his leg, and the teacher says to just hang on, it'll only last a week or two. He goes on to sing that it wont always be like this, she'll be grown and gone before he knows it. Isn't that the truth, I've got one that has left home, another will be following soon I'm sure. I hope I'll finally be ready for a empty nest when Grace is old enough.

And talking about schools, we have got to decide where we are sending her to school. I've already told Paul Ray he is going to have to go with me the first day. I cried when PaulPaul and Brandon started school. I cant even image how bad this one will be, I've turned into a blubbering fool in my old age. Just the thought of not being with her all day worries me, I don't like to think about it.

Grace is a very shy little thing around new people and in new surroundings. She is not a pushy child. Kids in today's world are not raised with manners and to think about others. She will wait her turn even when she is pushed out of line. I love that she is a "Lady" but I'm afraid of her being bullied. I can not image her raising her hand to hurt someone or/and maybe not even to defend herself. I want her to be that Prime and Proper Little Lady, a Princess if you will, and I don't see anything wrong with that. I certainly don't want her to be a spoiled thing, but behave like a Lady, Yes I Do!

Don't you love how my topics start out with one thing and end up totally somewhere else, that is how my mind has been going. In huge circles! My boss thinks I'm loosing my mind.

Hope you all have a great weekend. I'm cleaning on Saturday, after sleeping in I HOPE! Sunday morning, I'm going with Lyndsey, Brandon and her family to see the sight where they want to have the wedding. Then I have lots of work to catch up on. Monday our Social Worker is coming for our 6 month check up, we rescheduled from last month. Lets hope it doesn't rain much. The last time she was here, it had rained so hard, we had her park down the road and picked her up, I kid you not! I miss living in a neighborhood (didn't think I would) but boy I do!!!!!

Good Night,

Peggy

who gets to have her first Christmas with a little girl!!!!!!!

I'll post more tomorrow! I hope. I actually came home with work, but am worn out, and may not touch it.

Hope you enjoy the pics so far. I'm trying to pick the best, we took almost 600 pictures.

Our Disney photo pass only had 52 and I think 48 of them was in the one Princess Room, cant wait to tell you that story.

Oh and from here on out, MY Little Man is now MY PRINCE!!!!!!!
