Bear update...

Reagan lost her bear less than 24 hours after I finished it.

Nice.

My little project

Ok....so let me preface this post by saying that I really do not know how to sew. Well, I know a little. Maybe I should say, I don't know how to sew well. At all. But, that didn't prevent me from trying a little project for the kiddos. I am expecting that in the not-so-distant future, Jonah will have a loose tooth at some point. I saw a cute idea for little tooth bears for the kids to place their teeth in as they wait for the oh-so-important Tooth Fairy exchange. So, although they are far from perfect, here's my attempt.



I wasn't thrilled with the color choices, but you take what you can get at the store. I did Jonah's bear first...that's supposed to be a tooth on the front under his name. I think it looks like a piece of sliced bread. Oh well. I didn't even try it on Reagan's...she got a crooked heart. Still, I am a little proud of my attempt....all things considered.

So far behind....


Who said it was easy to keep up with a blog? I am way behind, so I'll recap with some pics and leave it at that for now.

Here's a rare pic of my whole family from Thanksgiving.

Reagan watching a Tech game with Daddy...apparently he is stressed out!

My crazy girl.....


December Snow!


The kids and I had the opportunity to go to the beach for a bit right before Christmas with my dear friend, Lisa and her 2 boys! What a blast!


Merry Christmas 2009!

Ringing in the New Year with a HOKIE win! Happy 2010!


A lot of people have been asking me about the adoption process...no big news to report yet, but thank you for the continued thoughts. We continue to covet your prayers in this matter! We recently renewed our U.S. Immigration Approval....and now the wait continues. We can't wait until we get our baby girl!
