Chasing the Dream... Finding our Daughter: BIG News at Gabi's House
http://amandaanded.blogspot.com/2008/08/big-news-at-gabis-house.html
Monday, August 18, 2008. BIG News at Gabi's House. Gabriella Lilisol has had a major accomplishment! Immediately following the big girl potty incident, I ran to yell downstairs that she pottied. When I ran back in to the bathroom to do a dance with Gabi, I ripped my pants. I'm telling you- it's a big day! Our Gabi girl is growing up so fast! That sounds about right- she gets something right and you tear up something. I was sure you were going to say that you took a header down the stairs. March 12, 2008.

Saturday, August 30, 2008. My Cousins are Here! My Cousins are Here! Well, it's true. Gabi's cousins are here! These are her only first cousins, Spencer and Griffin. They are so smart, so sweet, so much fun. We have had a ball. They arrived yesterday with Aunt Hilary and Uncle Steve in tow. I am so impressed with the kids. The boys are so sweet and patient with Gabi. They hold her hand, they help, the look out for her and they kiss her. Unfortunately, Hurrican Gustav is headed right for us, so they are g...

Chasing the Dream... Finding our Daughter: Gabriella's First Day of School
http://amandaanded.blogspot.com/2008/08/gabriellas-first-day-of-school.html
Wednesday, August 20, 2008. Gabriella's First Day of School. That was the only thing I was bummed about with this arrangement. I am so excited about this school, I could just flip. I have pics to post of her from before school, but I thought I'd take some of her in her new classroom today when I pick her up. I just hate that she's big enough to go off to school already. But she is one cute student! Love you too much,. Great job on your first day of school! What a cute student you must be! PGN Kickout- Ju...

Chasing the Dream... Finding our Daughter: July 2008
http://amandaanded.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2008. My Little Summer Sassafras. Robin made this adorable "G" t-shirt for Gabi. It's just like the one Ella has. Isn't it so cute? Robin wins points for major craftiness! Every time that we told someone that we were moving to Houston, s/he would say, "Holy cow! It's going to be soooo hot! I can't wait for some of this to subside. I'm pretty sure that I have another 2-3 months before it does. Oh good! Aunt Kristin sent a box of happies this week too! Thanks Janet and Doc! On Saturday, ...

Chasing the Dream... Finding our Daughter: Promised Pics
http://amandaanded.blogspot.com/2008/08/promised-pics.html
Thursday, August 21, 2008. The Playground for Toddlers and Preschoolers. The stables, paddock and cow beside the Toddler House- they have an equine program. Gabi's last day with AMZ and MK. Getting ready for school- backpack and 1st day dress. Worn out after lunch and all that learning. I love the last one! It looks like a great place, but I am sure glad I do not have to pay the insurance on it! She is going to love it. How come her backpack is as big as her? That is no second grade satchel! It's August ...

Monday, March 31, 2008. Two Steps Down, One to Go! DNA went off without a hitch this morning. Well, that's if you don't count Gabi screaming through it. She was not thrilled with them swabbing her mouth thoroughly 4 times. I can't believe Ella stood for that. Anyway, we got it finished and it's on its way to the lab. I don't think so. And by the way, we closed on our house this morning in Houston. Edward is on his way back to Illinois now. We are homeowners again. Woohoo! Let the blessings flow! I've dow...
