Busy as Elves in the Northwest!

A beautiful Thanksgiving weekend up here in the north...okay after 3 days of fog & rain! We celebrated our last Thanksgiving as a family of 2. The Spencer's came to our home for dinner & the girls had fun cooking up the meal. I think the turkey coma must have set in, as we forgot to take any pictures - oh well! Thanks Richard, Brandie, Kasey & Savannah for celebrating with us! Next year we will have a 2 year old in the house - WOW The rest of the weekend (okay between naps & leftover snacks) we spent getting ready for Miss L and that meant SHOPPING

My sweetie hard @ work putting together his daughter's crib

Tada....finished product. I have almost completed her quilt. It should be on her bed by the end of the week. I have also started making her curtains....I told you we've been busy. We love seeing that crib in her room.

We visited a beautiful nursery that has fabulous Christmas displays & decor. We found her first ornament & will hang it on the tree next year WITH HER.

More baby loot and stuff for China.

Although I'm trying to be a little practical in what I'm taking to China for her clothing....could I really pass this outfit up.........I think not

Got a little crafty with some onesies

How sweet. Isn't shopping for a little girl so much fun? I can't wait to watch your journey and see your little girl in your arms. Just think at the next AWAA picnic you will have your little girl. It wasn't quite as fun going last year without our little ones. God bless, Tamara F.
