Ok...another week has flown past and I don't know where it went. Monday night was Waterbabies at the Y, Tuesday night was a Norwalk basketball game, Wednesday night we picked up Jada after school, tonight was Theraplay with Leah.

We are on day 39 of the TA wait and I want my boy! But, in the meantime, the days fly and I don't know where the time goes. Here is one of Sydney's referral pics, along with a picture from December. I love this new digital scrapbooking. And, it goes so much faster than normal scrapbooking. Who knows, Sydney may have a scrapbook after all.

P.S.---Spazzy, get well fast! We love you.

I've committed to myself that I'll get Sydney's Lifebook created this year. To keep on track and motivated, I've joined a Yahoo group where people work together on Lifebooks. I'm uploading what will be the first page of the Lifebook.
I love it that we have a picture of Sydney as a baby. I hope that we will have the same for Shaun but I don't know.
We were LID (log in date) for Shaun on 12-18-06 so we are one month today. Right now, the process seems slow and people are fortunate if they get their TA (Travel Approval) before 100 days. Also, CCAA has added another step that will delay things a bit. So, I'm thinking that we have at least two more months before we hear anything.
In the meantime, we stay busy with ballgames...this week we have five between Hannah and Zeb...and I haven't checked Sarah's weekend schedule yet!

Well, I think that I've learned that AOL and Blogspot just don't get along when it comes to uploading pictures. I don't like it but I'm over it. As long as my new method works, I'm ready to go!


I think that I've figured out at least the basics of PhotoShop Elements. Today I created this layout using a picture that I took of Brian and Sydney before Christmas. Sydney isn't much of a girly-girl. I can count on one hand (and I mean this literally), the number of times she has worn a dress in the past 16 months)! But she did wear one for Zeb and Abby's piano recital. So, I took that opportunity to get a couple of photos.


(The layout uses papers from the Adeline kit by Faith True for anyone doing digital scrapbooking.)
