New Pet


This is our son Blaine's new pet. It's an Ostrich! He has two. One boy and one girl, which my father named George and Laura. Shown here with Blaine is baby George. These are actually Blaine's grandfather's new pets, but Blaine thinks everything is his, so there you go. Don't worry. They don't live at my house.

Thank You SB and June Cybershower Pal


June Cybershower gift from the Moseman's "Fun in the Sun"

June SB gift "Natures Creations"

Today Chloe received two gifts in the mail. The first one was from our June Cybershower Pal. We are not supposed to open this one until June 30th with the rest of the group so I will write more about it later and post pics. The second gift was from our Secret Buddy. June's theme was "Nature's Blessings" and Chloe received a cute plush watering can filled with little stuffed "bugs" inside that each sing a little song when squeezed. I will have to post pics later, because I really don't feel like going to find my camera right now and taking pics. My husband leaves Sat. for training before his scheduled deployment to Iraq, and we are busy having family time. I just wanted to say Thanks to our SB and Cybershower Pal. More later.

Will Referrals Speed Up Soon?

Thank You SB for our May Gift


We want to thank our Oct2006DTCYahoo Group Secret Buddy for our May gift. The theme for May was "Ladybugs, Pandas, and Dragons". We recieved a Dragon book, panda barettes, panda toy, ladybug votive holder, ladybug frame, ladybug yard stake, and Blaine got a large container full of forest animals. Thank You SB. We will post photos soon.

Update

I told everyone I would let them know what we decided to do about Kindergarten and we have decided. First of all, I would like to thank everyone for all of their insight and personal experiences concerning this issue. We recieved a few comments and A LOT of emails from concerned family and friends. We have decided that instead of sending Blaine on to Kindergarten that he should spend another year in Pre-Kindergarten. He will remain at the same school, but will have a different teacher. With his dad leaving for Iraq, we thought it would be best to keep him in a familiar environment. We also thought he could use another year to mature, and work on his social skills. Those seem to be more important at his age than what he knows. Thanks again everyone for your insight.

Nov. 7, 2005? Are you kidding me?

Well, the CCAA sent referrals this week. Congratulations to those families who waited 19 months to see their precious children's faces. November 7, 2005 was the cutoff date, which means a little over 1 weeks worth of referrals were made this month. If things continue at this rate, we will get our referral in about 4 years.
