Top 10 Things that AG Needs!

I've been tagged by Kim to list the top ten things that I still want/need for AG. Here is my list:

1. She needs a little red wagon, don't you think?



2. I would like for her to have some outdoor toys, like these:



3. She definitely will be getting an Asian Cabbage Patch doll or two or three...




4. She still needs a car seat, this is the "big" purchase that we haven't made yet.


5. I would like to get her 100 Good Wishes quilt completed, but that would mean that I have to start on it!

6. I think this is the cutest shopping cart cover I've seen yet. You can get them from kozycartcovers.com


7. We plan on getting her a children's bible. Actually, I'm pretty sure that both sets of grandparents will probably cover that one.

8. I would love for her to have a water table to play around with, I guess this could have been added to the outdoor toys, huh?



9. I really need to get started on a scrapbook, but I definitely want one of these with the Chinese silk covers.


10. And finally, I would like for her to have a good children's dvd collection, complete with Big Bird from China, Disney, Veggie Tales, Little Einstein, Backyardigans, etc.


Ok, now I tag Angela. Come on girl, I know you've got lots of stuff, but there's got to still be something that Ella has to have!!!

Diaper Backpack Challenge

I know I'm late in posting this, no excuses other than being extremely busy last week and didn't get around to it.

Here are pictures of the backpack and some of the stuff that will go in it. Like Angela, I am going to be using this as my carry on to/from China, so there might be extras that I wouldn't pack just for an outing while in China.

disposable bibs
change of clothes

OOPS, I forgot...

We celebrated our 5th anniversary on the 24th! Here we are about to eat at the restaurant that we drew from a bowl-lol (it's our tradition!)



And, I went to yet another consignment event and bought these items.





Then over the weekend, I bought these really comfy Merrill shoes for our trip to China.

Lots of updating, so here it goes...

:



Tuesday


Tuesday marked our 20 month LID, yuck yuck yuck! At least, we can have some cake with it! We keep inching closer and closer. What I mean by inch is, this
4 DAYS! It's actually a day more than I was expecting, so I guess that is good news! I don't have much to say about it, on to next month...


Saturday



We went to the first game of the season! We also got to meet our friends who just got back from China with their little one, Lydia. She was the cutest little thing, ever!!

Friday



We went to the doctor with Brian's mom and found out that the tumor they removed from her ovary a few weeks ago is NOT cancer!!! WOOHOO!! What a relief! She now will be getting a scan to see what is on her lungs and then they can begin the chemo for her breast cancer.



Last Thursday we had our 3rd homestudy update! Yep, our homestudy needs to be updated every year until the adoption is final, lucky us! This time our social worker told us that she didn't want to come back here until we have a baby that she can play with....yeah, us too!
