Almost ready to wait.

So tomorrow we are going to the agency to drop off our 15 copies of our lovely adoption profile!!! So exciting!!
We thought we would drop it off then go to a nice V-day lunch!
We have been preparing for 5.5 months I think to get to this point of being a waiting family. I think we are ready to see what happens and we are ready for nothing to happen for a while.
We are on no wait list. The birthfamily will pick us so who knows what the wait will be. We did our beast with the profile and it screams us so there is no sugar coating of anything.

updates

She learned to ride her bike last month! Her princess 12 inch bike from Santa! She told us she wants the training wheels off so she can go faster. She has been riding in the house around and around(she basically taught herself how to ride) We are so impressed as is she! Can't wait to take it outside!

She'll be 4 next month. AUGH!
Thought I would have her out of night pullups at bedtime but looks like we are months away from that.
She is doing excellent in nursey school. I have a conference end of month which should prove to be interesting.

In adoption news, we are homestudy approved which means we can legally adopt, now we need to complete our profile so we can get in our agency's book!

Happy New Year!

So we were talking about what word may define 2011...I said Hope...Jason said Joy..
Nina is still thinking on it.
We will begin this year eating pork since it's for good luck and welcome the new year with hope and the idea that good things will come our way.

Merry Christmas!

Nina made the nice list this year! She received a brand new bike!
She has become quite the little ham and loves to sing and dance for us!
She was in her first nursery school play and did awesome! She was not shy at all in front of the large crowd! We were so proud!!

This kid has talent!

Things are going well. We are in the middle of preparing our Adoption Homestudy.
It's very time consuming and very involved! We are on schedule to be in the books by January which feels like a million years from now!

Nina continues to do well in nursery school. She is making friends and loves her teacher. She is going to be Snow White for Halloween. She was reeval by PT last week so we'll see what comes out of that. They D/C her in July but I did not aggree and wanted her looked at so that's that.

The baby we lost in June was going to be due around this time so of course that is on my mind. My mom just went to see Jersy Boys over the weekend and I remember when she got the tickets months and months ago she told me not to have the baby until after the show! Yep... make plans and God shits on them...

Since we lost the baby in June, I have been gettng back in shape and running a lot which is great! My Avon is doing pretty well. We are using all the money made from selling for this Adoption so if you want some Avon, get it from me!!!
