Hey, hadn't posted in a bit and figured if I didn't you all would quit wandering over here to see what's going on on our little patch of the earth. :O)
I still don't have my van fixed, the other two cars involved are pointing fingers at each other, neither wanting to accept the responsibility for the accident. So, I finally went and rented a van on my own yesterday. I figured 9 days of borrowing my mother's car was long enough.
Hopefully we will hear something soon about who's going to get this mess fixed.
Today is my daughter's birthday. She is the big One-One!!! She is so excited. We got up early and had a nice breakfast with daddy - complete with pancakes and candles to blow out. She opened her gifts and she's gone to a "Back to Home School" bowling party, sponsored by our cover school, with some friends of ours.
The baby is currently napping. I am hoping for a nice long afternoon nap because she only got a catnap in the car this morning. She seems to be adjusting really well. I can't believe how well she's getting along with everyone. She just fits right in and goes with the flow. Whatever we do is fine by her. For those who knew we had some nighttime waking issues, we've definately gotten that solved. Three nights in a row now of sleeping all night. She has her last full bottle around 7:00 and goes to bed at 8 or 8:30. I get her back up around 10:30 - she never opens her eyes - put her in a dry diaper, give her about 2-3 more ounces of milk and sleeps 'til 7 or 8 in the morning. Ahhh, I have my sleep back. I did talk with one of the doctor's at the Int. Adop. Med clinic here in B'ham and she said that was a fine way to do it. She recommends keeping her on a bottle until she's at least 18 months old - because it helps to facilitate bonding (eye contact, holding, etc...).
We ordered some really great Adoption/Belated Christmas/Happy New Year's cards from www.PurpleStork.com. You can view our finished product here. I highly recommend them. Their service was excellent and wow, they did a great job - very fast!

Anyway, that's how things are around here today.
Hope you all are doing well, and have a wonderful new year!

I am glad things are going great! The cards are precious!
I met some people you know- Ahsley and Matthew- she said she teaches Anna horseback riding. They knew of us though the blog and said they had been praying for us- God is Amazes me daily! They are sweet people!
Can't wait to see new pics of SB!
Your cards turned out well! It's great to hear you all are doing well!
