Happy 6 month wait to us...

The 3rd of January was our official date of 6 months of waiting. In February we will be in this a year from the start of all the paperwork. It takes a LONG TIME...trying to look further ahead to keep my sanity.

We are getting a lot of invites to Chinese New Year get-togethers...exciting!!! Some are local, one is from our adoption agency and there is a BIG celebration at one of the high schools in Syracuse...should be FUN!!!

We have kept all of Avery's gifts out, I don't want to put them away just yet. I like to go through them every once in awhile.

We have been doing some remodeling. Started with the kitchen, it has a new floor, and painting, and wainscoting on the walls, new lighting and we're going to put new doors in the kitchen also. Plus trimming out the beams and all of the rest of the trim...and eventually re-staining the cupboards. It looks like a totally different place. Gary & Ron did a fantastic job on the floor. Gary did all the wainscoting himself and it looks really good. The color of the wainscoting is called chianti, and the upper part of the walls is a cottage white. Next I think is Avery's room. We also have plans for the upstairs bathroom, flooring in our bedroom, flooring and painting in the downstairs bathroom, painting and tile in the breezeway, and painting in one the living rooms too. Big list!!

We have found our crib set, pottery barn kids jut came out with a set that has little lady bugs on it, and it is green and white and they have mixed pink in with it also-PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got a bunch of scrapbooking materials in the mail to start Avery's lifebook-really excited about that!!!!

I guess that's all for now, can't wait until our wait time gets in the double digits!!!

Love to you all!!!
