We are DTC!!!! (and other tid bits)

We are officially DTC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are soooo excited! Friday morning around 6:00 a.m I was down stairs in the living room doing my Bible study. I could hear little foot steps coming down the stairs, then Miss Olivia came around the corner with her blanket over her head ( this is an every morning ritual, she covers her head with her blanket, we pretend to be scared, she takes the blanket off and says " its just me! Olivia!" and we say "Ohhhh you scared us!") she crawled up in my lap. I told her we were going to Pei Wei tonight for Chinese food to celebrate. She looked like she didn't remember Pei Wei so I told her it was the place with the chop sticks. She looked puzzled for a minute then she said " Oh, the place with the crackers". I was trying to figure out what in the world she was talking about when she said " you know, the sweet crackers with tags in em!" Sooooooo, sweet!
We put up our Christmas tree Friday as well. I know its 80 freaking ( freaking is not a curse word is it?) degrees but I figured it was a great way to celebrate being DTC! Victoria broke out the Christmas music ( of which she listens to ALL year!) and we got busy! We decided to make our smaller tree in the dining room a Chinese tree! We have decorated it with chop sticks and with some of those sweet crackers with tags in em! It is so cute! Victoria makes little ornaments with notes to Alexandra on them! one said " To my Chinese sister, good luck!" I love her so much, she is such a sweet girl! I told her the other day that we would try to visit China when Alexandra is older and she wanted to know if we could get another baby when we went!

Not Very Interesting today!

Well, it has been kind of quite around here. We are hoping to be DTC tomorrow so it is another one of those hurry up and wait days! BUT, on a much happier note we are going to celebrate being DTC tomorrow by going out to eat at Pae Wae (sp) with the "P's" and the "E's"! I am so excited! After dinner we are going to go back to "Harriet's" ( come on "Harriet" you know who you are!) house for coffee and cake! Well, I better get to cleaning! The laundry continues to multiply somehow and ignoring it is not making it go away!

Halloween! I think not!LOL!

Ok, I know I am probably a bad mom. Last night it was somewhat cool and I really did not feel like taking the kids trick or treating so I did what any good mom would do. I went to Blockbuster rented Robots, came home ordered pizza, turned off all of the lights, went upstairs to our daughters room( she has a DVD player in her room, we do not, note to self: steal Victoria's DVD and give her the VHS), and told my 4 yo that Sat. was trick or treat day ( went to church fall fest). We all squished into Victoria's full sized bed and celebrated the fact that we had received out I-171 and that we would hopefully be DTC by Friday! We are one step closer to our new baby girl! Lord, please keep her safe and well.
