No travel news

Bummer! We're not in the next group! The anxiety of the week ended with no news! Very happy for those that ARE traveling though. They didn't get much notice. Only a week! So we're hoping to piggy back them and leave to go as their leaving to come home. That would put us traveling the last week of June or first week of July. GREAT! Prices of airline tickets are so high that time. And a lot of flights have very few seats left so what's left is crappy and expensive! We were hoping to upgrade to Eva deluxe or Thai premium. Normally it's not that much more and it's in between Economy and business. But those seat are hard to come by now so who know what we'll get. Plus we have to have the type of ticket that can be changed so adds more on to it. On a good note the volunteer was at her orphanage last Monday and said she is sitting up a little better and stretching her arms out straight if you put her on her tummy. Her bug bites are better but she still has some heat rash on her rolly polly neck. She said she was her happy self when they got there! I may be traveling home alone with her, so I pray she is happy for me for that long travel home! I want hubby to get home with kids and he has no vacation hardly!

Travel in June?

Need prayers here. We want/need to be in the next travel group. I know many of my friends have said don't get yourself worked up about it otherwise you're going to be dissappointed if you're not in the next group. But I'm just doing that positive, manifesting thing, or as I call it the power of prayer! I am going to make it happen. I'm finishing my packing and shopping. I'm organizing everything on the home front and work. We're taking a short touristy trip with the kids before we go. Our agency is saying there are 12 waiting to travel and there will probably be 2 travel groups in June. We're in the first one, remember?!!! Anyway, the rumor is the first one may be around June 8-10th and the 2nd one around June 22-25th. My sister can't go if it's the second group and she's REALLY looking forward to the trip. She's flying out to help me and for the flight home after hubby leaves. I also have a friend on back up in case she can't go. Our agency is saying they should know something this Thursday. So come on all of you that have the power to make it happen! We want to be in the first group! Our girl is waiting, we're ready, the timing is right, we deserve for this to happen now! I keep thinking of my 4 yr old singing her preschool song, "god is good, god is good, he's so good, god is good!" With her sing-songy voice. She LOVES to sing and has the cutest singing voice which of course I encourage and tell her how great it is because I'm hoping she'll live out my dream I had when I was her age.......to be a singer when I grew up! Seriously I was meant to be Mariah Carey! Except something got messed up along the way and my voice didn't develop like hers so all I did was a few embarising recitals and choir. My dear friend since 3 yrs old, Debbie and I used to sing our hearts out at those talent shows and church. We marched around my Mom's dining room table with our black and white go-go boots to the tune of, "These boots are made for walking", yeah baby and that's just what they do! We thought we were so cool! And my Aunties tell stories all the time of my Niece and I (she's 1 yr older than I) dancing to The Captain and ?? "You better shop around". We had a different version of it though. We thought it meant going to the store and shopping instead of shopping around for men! Sooooo just maybe my daughter will become what I was meant to become.... a singer! I must enroll her in piano and singing lessons now!

Baby girl has dolls!

Every girl needs hair bows and dresses!

Love this retro Bib!
Her big sissy has a dress to match her in this outfit!
Every girl needs hair bows! I've recently bought a lot of those alligator clip bows as well.
I love books so baby will have a lot of them! I even have her life book started but I really want to do a digital one I've found that looks so cool!
This is her fushia terry swim cover up! I have yet to find her a swim suit her size I like. How strange is that? I find tons for my almost 5 year old but nothing for the 6-12 mo. size.

I really haven't bought that much for our baby girl. Nothing compared to my first child before he was born. I think it has to do with this being the 3rd child AND the fact that we're not 100% on how big she is. I'll post a few pictures of some things we have for her. I still need to post pictures of the cutest things she received from the baby shower.

Girl all made up for her Dance recital. She did so good! This was her first year and it was so cute! More than dance my girl can SING! She learned many songs at preschool to sing for us at the Mother's Day tea and she sings them into her microphone while looking out the big window, all the time! She can carry a tune! Not pitchy, as Simon would say, at all!
Cousins posing! They all got along so well!
