Baby update

There's supposed to be 1-boy referral this month and 2-3 girls! PLUS our agency just got approval for another orphanage in Ca Mau and there's supposed to be 50 kids there. Some are older and we have a lot of women using our agency that requested toddlers and older. Please pray that those that have been waiting get to see their kids pictures soon! We're still not supposed to start our dossier yet, but I need to get organized so I don't feel the mad rush or pressure during our busy time after Thanksgiving.
I have been buying a few things for baby girls room! Tee Hee! It's so fun. I finally ordered the crib bedding. I decided to so the shabby chic look so I can mix vintage pieces in her room. I'm looking for a pink vintage dresser with crystal knobs. Her stroller should be in any day. I had to order another one from ebay because the first one I ordered was discontinued. But I found the same one! AND I ordered a precious moments tree ornament and Vietnamese Christmas ornaments so I can put a little table top tree in her room! Sorry I can't get the link to work. check it out at www.mandysmoon.com Thanks Laurie! Great site! I'll post a picture when I have it done. I'm pretty sure we've decided on her name but we're not going to decide for sure until we see her picture. They are still saying the end of December of January.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!



It's been almost a Month since I've posted! I got a little overwhelmed with our trip to Vegas and haven't caught up since. One of the disadvantages of owning your own business, you're NEVER caught up! Then the our kids have been sick on and off, and Mom is still in the hospital. Whew! (She feels great though)
Hubby and I really enjoyed the relaxing Lake of Las Vegas. We stayed at the Hyatt and it was beautiful. We went to a Custom Home Builders show there and had a great time. We toured homes there. Even saw a lot that was 30-million. Yes I said "lot"! 6-Acres of flat land on the lake. We drove past Celine Dion's house and Paula Abduals. Very pretty gated area.
Then the last night we stayed at the Venetian on the strip. It was hotter there and of course crazy busy even on a Sunday night. I actually got tired of the window shopping! Maybe it was the shopping with the hubby I wasn't used to. I could have really let go if it was just me or with the girls! We went to see the Phantom. It was unbelieveable. They built a 43 million dollar theatre just for this show.
Thanks to my dear friends including my sister-in law for watching the kids. They had a great time. Before we left little girl said "I have a feeling I'm going to be a little bit sad Mom!" But when I asked her how she did, she said good and kept telling us all the fun things they did.

Movin up!

Ok now we're number 5 on the list. Come on referrals! Lot's of people I know traveling now or soon. Love reading about everyone's trips.
Thanks for all that posted! I was being a bit sarcastic. Those non-bloggers still haven't replied though.
AND they discontinued by pink and black stroller! Can you believe it? I was so excited and for some reason it wasn't meant to be. I can get it in different colors. But dang-it I wanted pink and black! No time to go searching for another now.
My Mom will be in the hospital another 6-weeks! They want to keep her on iv antibiotics that long! And after every test known to man kind they still don't know the source of the infection. At least she feels good but it makes me very nervous. Plus I don't have much time to spend with her right now because we are very under staffed at the store. It's always everything at once right?
I bought clothes from the Children's place online tonight because my daughter needs socks and $$$ later both kids have a bunch of winter clothes coming. No time to go into a store right now.
Next week will be better because I will be sitting in a cabana with a flat screen, drink with umbrella, and a cabana boy waiting on me. Snap! Snap!! We sell t-shirts at my store that say, "All I want is an umbrella in my drink!" Amen! And no it won't be the hubby playing the cabana boy. He'll be in meetings. Darn!

New Stroller!!!

Love this bag!
Baby leg warmers/tights! Great for those diaper changings, or those trying to go on potty.
Got this! Great for cold weather.
Our new stroller is on it's way!

I had to buy the baby a new stroller. Isn't is cute? A little premature but I was in one of those moods! So I'll feel better when we put it up in her room even though it's not decorated. See the baby leg warmers? They wear them as tights and then it's not such a pain to change their diaper or if they are potty trained. Love those! I havn't decided on a diaper bag yet. There's a company that has some great Asian prints. I may get one of those. We're having a baby shower tonight for a friend so maybe that's why I'm in this mood!
