I couldn’t help myself

Great finds at Target yesterday: We haven’t been buying any baby stuff yet.  We’re trying to show some restraint, knowing we can get whatever we need once we’re in Louisiana, but I saw these cute (gender-neutral, of course) onesies and had to pick them up! Our baby is going to love The Beatles as much…

We’re running another auction!

Okay, the month of February completely got away from me!  I was thinking we still had a couple weeks until our next auction, but it’s NEXT WEEK!!! Oh my. We did so well in our first auction, raising over $3,000.  There were a lot of people who missed the auction, who were out of town…

A little bit of this…a little bit of that…

Homestudy is almost done!

All of the paperwork on our end is done, we’ve had our 3 meetings with our social worker (SW), and finally finished our health and fire inspections! Our SW is awesome – she said “Don’t hold me to this, but I’ll probably be finished writing your homestudy within the week.  Don’t worry though, if birthmom…

Results of the auction, and announcing the winners!

The auction was an overwhelming success! Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we were able to raise over $3,000 towards our adoption fund!!!!  We are absolutely blown away!  I had no idea how this would go, and it definitely exceeded our expectations. I sincerely thank each and every one of you for the support you have provided…
