Only one thing missing ....

Well we took a big leap into adulthood this weekend and bought a mini-van. I have to say it is even more awesome than I dreamed. I have more DVD players in my car than I have in my home! I feel safer, cleaner and somehow even more organized in it.  The only thing that would make it more complete was if I were to look into my rear view mirror and see my beautiful baby girl in her pink car seat.

Also, celebrated St. Patty's day with beautiful sunny weather. The kids got all decked out in their green and did yard work with Dan while I worked.

I did have some frustration (more than ususal) on the adoption front. She went in for a WBC (well baby check) we were not expecting and I had not mailed her care package in time for her to receive it. We also did not get a photo with that appointment which we normally do. I sent a letter to the agency about my disappointment in this also expressing frustration that some people have received a 1st birthday photo. I got a response back from Korea that they would send an updated photo with her March 29th WBC and try to get me the photos from her birthday party the same day.  I was happy that the agency and Korea  both responded so quickly. I wish they would just let me have her already, but I guess for now that will have to do! It pays to ask for things in a firm yet nice way sometimes!

Big weekend this weekend .. Madeline's 9th birthday and Jake's end of season hockey party. Family coming in town .. should be a big time!! Again, just one person will be missing .....
