Better Late Then Never

It has been a while since I have posted. September has been one of those months that I have tried to escape reality. It doesn't work of course but somehow the month went by quickly.
Mid September we went to Donna and Joe's house to cook and eat Chinese food. We had the best time learning new recipings, using sharp knives and eating with chop sticks!



Here is a picture of our wonderful dinner. Thank you Donna and Joe, you host a great party!




I have also kept myself busy with projects in Lily's room. The thing about waiting sooo long to bring her home is, we have all this time to come up with multiple ideas to do for her room. Even though it is ready for her to move in now I still have more to do to complete the plans I have. My husband is my handyman and he does an excellent job. He is in the process of molding in her window. It should look so nice when it is finished. He made me a wooden corness box to go above her closet which still needs painted and decorated.


I did get her letters for her name finished. Even though they are not on the wall yet I thought I'd share them.
We think we'll put them up staggered like this. It looked a little more fun then just straight.
Any other ideas on how to place them are welcome. Once I get them on the wall I'll share again. Maybe the window will be done by then!

Last night we had a wonderful time at our fcc-az (families with chinese children-arizona chapter) meeting. We have met some wonderful friends that will hopefully continue for a lifetime. This whole experience has been really good for us and we are very thankful for this.
As referrals come pooring in next week, good luck to all of you that get to see your babies face for the first time! Our thoughts are with you.
