Consignment Sales

I ventured to my first consignment sales today. I bought some very darling things... I don't know if they will fit our little dumplin but it was sure fun to shop for her.

New Diaper Bag

I got the BEST diaper bag today... it is red and has Chinese print all over it. My sweet friend Courtney found it and knew it would be perfect for me. I want to carry it now... but I guess I'll have to wait.

Ellie Elephant

My mom bought this ADORABLE little elephant for Mae today. She is white with pink feet and terribly soft. She's an FAO Swartz stuffed animal and I just know Mae is going to think she is in heaven when she gets here and see's her elephant.

baby Mae's barrette

It's funny what will make me cry these days... this little barrette did it for me though. I can't wait to wash and comb that sweet baby's hair. Hope she likes girlie bows and ribbons (:

Mae turns 1

Mae's birthday cake fell apart completely but it tasted great -- I guess first birthday cakes are meant to be wrecked anyway (: I have time to practice making a cake for her second birthday.

It's a good start

Well, the area ended up being even larger than we hoped... it will make a nice size little play room for Mae. It is about 6' x 6' and will be just perfect to put her a little kitchen and table for tea parties. Now we need drywall...

Starting with a hole

We are starting Mae's room project... first thing we have to do is take out the wall and extend her little room. We don't quite know how this will turn out but we do know there is a large area and window beyond her walls. Cutting holes to get in there and find out.

Mama Ma's quilt for Mae

These quilt squares were made by my great grandmother, Mama Ma. It is beautiful and my mom has started to put these together so that this might be Mae's baby blanket. I am so very giddy about what this will look like and it is so very special.

Our agencies website

Our agency put Mae's picture up today with this amazing phrase, "My family has found me" under her sweet photograph.

Seeing this is beyond me... God is leading this adoption. This little girl is ours and we are blessed beyond measure. We thought it would take us years to get here... we are stunned it has only been a few months.

We know who our daughter is!!

This beauty is ours! We do not have words for the feelings of great love and joy we have for this little darling girl. OUR daughter. We are thinking of her constantly... getting very little sleep and longing to hold her in our arms and kiss those perfect lips.
