I have been so busy it seems and little time to blog lately! I want to catch you up with some Christmas pictures, my New Year's babe's 7th birthday and a picture of Major Cutie's hair in twists. It's pulled back with a headband and we'll see how it fairs tomorrow morning. I'll take pictures of it tomorrow too!
First, Christmas morning at our house. Yes, MC's hair is sticking up that much! LOL! It does every morning and she finds it just hysterical!
Then we traveled 2 hours north to my parents home and met my sister and her family. We do this every year! We spend one night and then get up and go south to Indy for Christmas with my husband's family....that picture is below!
And here is my New Year's Birthday girl turning 7! She wanted a "puppy" party!
I love this girl and her very silly self! You do never know what you'll get... the shy introverted girl or the outgoing, tripping over everything, non-stop giggler!!! I am so excited to watch her grow!
And now for Major Cutie's twists! She just loves them and her siblings thing they are the coolest things ever! I wonder if they'll last through the night!
This is the back although still a little hard to see. I don't know what her big sister was doing in the back ground! I think trying to make MC laugh!!

Great twists. LIke you've said before, I think Grace and MC have very similar hair!! I just got Grace's trimmed for the first time yesterday. You should check out the pics on my blog-- the haircutter put it in a cute "pulled back" do. :) So much fun. I love all your pics!
luv the twists!!!!!
Hi, i didn't know how else to ask you these things, so i thought I would post on here-we are looking at adopting through All God's Children and we live in Oregon, and got your story from the list on the agency’s website. We have so many questions-so I will just list them below and see if you can answer some, mainly how your experience went with them, etc.. Sorry they are so many-we are just starting the process, so we have lots of unknowns! Thank you so much for your time-amber
1. what was the home study like?
2. When you adopted, did you request a certain age and boy/girl and if so, how long was the wait for the referral? How long from application till you got your child?
3. We are concerned about Hepatitis B and HIV, and I know they test for them, but we are looking to adopt an infant, so often HIV won’t show up until like 6 months I believe, did they indicate how sure they can be that they don’t have the diseases, do they only test them one time (or before referral/before travel)?
4. What are some health issues that are commonly faced when returning home with the kids and what can you do about them/did your doctor re-do the immunizations?
5. Were you able to select things that you would take regarding health/diseases, etc. before they referred a child?
6. What would you say the airfare costs for an adult, an infant and possibly a 10 year old-if we take our son with us? On that note, would you take a 10 year old with you? J
7. What airline do you recommend? How many hours was the flight-where did you stop? What were the flights like? how were customs?
8. Where did you stay/where would you recommend staying while there and what was it like? How long were you there and at what point did you receive your child? Are you ever able to meet the child’s family? Were you able to sight-see around to see the city, etc.-is it safe?
9. What was the food like-did you get sick? Do you have to take your own water? Did the doctor recommend you take any medications with you for you or the child?
10. Did you take anything to give out at the orphanage/donate to the caregivers? Do you just pack it separate or pay to take another bag?
11. Do you have any tips or ideas/websites to help fund the adoption?
12. What immunizations did you get before going? Where did you go to find this out?
13. What are some tips for bonding with an infant or toddler? What was it like at first when you got home?
14.Any hair-care tips?
Thank you again so much-sorry it is so many questions! Amber awitha@verizon.net
love the twists! how fun!
Cute cake too!
