***: Emotional Times...
http://journeytotreasuredchild.blogspot.com/2008/10/emotional-times.html
Monday, October 06, 2008. But today. I just had to call our China agency to ask about the rumored increase in orphanage fees from $3,000 to $5,000. I visited with our agency recently in Colorado and the director told me he thought after the Olympics the fees would increase and that would lead to a stabilization and ultimate decrease in wait times. I have not seen any evidence of that so I wanted to find out the status. Of course the question is "Who is asking this of you? Isabella's Mommy and Daddy.

Tuesday, August 19, 2008. Another Fun Weekend and Another One Coming! This past weekend we celebrated my Dad's birthday, he turned 75 on August 15! We had a delicious custom cake from AJ's. My Dad is so anxious to meet our babies, it will be lovely to see them all together - hopefully soon! I know he will be an amazing grandfather because he is an amazing father to me. Here are pictures of my parents, Dan and me. Who do I look like? I am heading to Charlotte, NC for business tomorrow and have a super fun...

Our Little Ladybug: October 2006
http://ourlittlestladybug.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 15, 2006. It's hard to believe we are just waiting for the I-797 and then we will be ready to get the show on the road! Well, I know we have a long wait ahead of us, but at least once we are DTC, I will feel like we can take a breather and wait happily. We are now working on photos for our dossier. It's hard to gather up photos with both of us in them! Posted by K. @ 12:32 PM. Tuesday, October 10, 2006. Lots o'stuff going on! Here's the little lady on the window of the car! We have a few ...

Our Little Ladybug: April 2007

Sunday, April 29, 2007. Thank You, Winter Blossom April Secret Pal! Thank you to our WONDERFUL Secret Pal, Erica Dick! The books she sent along to us were so special, and none of them are books that we already have! Ken and I sat down together and read all of them! We received the sweetest book entitled Mama, How Long Will You Love Me? The illustrations and the words in it are so beautiful. Next, we received one called A Blessing From Above, and I got misty after reading it! Oh, my goodness! Now in my dr...

Our Little Ladybug: September 2006
http://ourlittlestladybug.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 16, 2006. The home visit is officially over! It went incredibly well and was pretty easy. Our social worker is a really nice man and we felt very comfortable with him. He interviewed us together, then apart for a few minutes, then toured the house. It took about an hour and a half. He said it was the quickest home study he had ever done and I asked, "In a good way? He said, "Yes.". Posted by K. @ 5:52 PM. Sunday, September 10, 2006. Am I ever exhausted! I really miss the summer! I fee...

Sunday, January 11, 2009. I haven't posted on this blog in awhile, we have been so focused on getting our angel Dominic home and I have been posting on his blog like crazy. So, now it's time to post here and share a few things about our life. Is a somewhat stressful time for me as I transition back to work after being on FMLA. The only way to change your life is to change your life! Isn't worth living if you don't take risks. 4 on December 26 and Katie and Alfie will turn. 4 in February (Alfie on the 4 th.

Friday, March 28, 2008. This evening at around 7 pm Dan and I had just finished dinner and were unwinding with some wine. I was watching a real estate show and Dan was tinkering on the computer. I heard Brody our beloved 3 year old Bichon. Barking in a highly agitated way and when he wouldn't chill out after I called for him to settle down, I looked out the window to see what was going on. But he is a free spirit and I never want to squash that, so we accept his relaxed approach to obedience. I heard the...

Thursday, October 02, 2008. I was relaxing in my hotel room last night after watching "Pushing Daisies" (my new Hollywood beau is Lee Pace - LOVE HIM! And felt like watching a movie. I was THRILLED to see "Man on Wire" was on the menu. I missed it when it played in Arizona and have been wanting to see it for awhile. May I just say, I LOVED this movie! It was worth the $15 I paid to watch! Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined". Isabella's Mommy and Daddy. Michele's...
