Glorious day!!

The weather outside is beautiful, I snuck out to the movies and saw "Shopaholic" and this beautiful site was waiting for me on my computer.....the day just doesn't get any better!! Take a look, her cheeks are round, she is in pink again this month(in a sleeper that we sent)she seems to be very aware and focused!!
She is a site for sore eyes.

The room is finally complete.....thrilled with the results

The nursery project just needs a baby now. My dear friend Michelle brought over the last piece of bedding today that she so generously made for us. The pictures do not do the bedding justice. The skirt and ruffle are a beautiful chocolate brown silk shatung with the tinest beads. I think it looks so much more beautiful than I had even imagined. It really just feels like a princess should sleep in there, and I hope that Hayden grows older and loves the room as much as I do:) Just need to bring our girl home now, and the room really will be complete.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

We just heard that our first ruling came in today, and so that means we just have one more court date for them to issue the final ruling, and then we will be invited to travel to pick up Hayden. Typically this happens within 4-6 weeks, so the reality of this is we could be travelling in less than 8 weeks to get our girl!!!!

Wow, I have so much to do before this trip, and the reality of the situation is finally sinking in. I feel overwhelmed with excitement, and happiness, and I just can't wait to hold her in my arms and tell her how much we love her!!!

Hayden we are coming sweetie!!

Patience is wearing thin!!

Okay, I have been very patient, I have recognized the Chinese New Year, celebrated, and embraced how much time is taken off for the biggest holiday of the year in Taiwan. But for the love of God, my patience is wearing thin, and I really need to hear about our 1st ruling soon. We had our hearing 8 weeks ago....it is time people, we need to go get our baby. She will be 6 months old in just a few weeks. The clock is ticking, and trust me when I say you don't want to see me get mad:)

Vacation time is over, time to get to work, clear your desk, get these cases moving along. I will beg is you need me to. Thank you for your time:)

Splendor of Pink

Here is a little peek at the nursery. I am still waiting for our bumper to be finished, and so you I will post a picture of the whole room once we have that piece complete. It will really finish the crib off nicely. But you will see the daybed with the ginormous chocolate monogram above, and the other side of the room is the darling chest(changing table as well) I found in Canton and had painted a very pale pink. Then above the chest I have the saying "Thank heaven for little girls" I think the room turned out really pretty, and fit for a princess. We installed a beautiful chandleir as well which you can't see, but I will include that when I post the whole room. I think the daybed looks prettier in person....don't like how it looks in the picture, but wanted you to see the monogram which I bought here

Snapshots of the last few days in California

Miss Kenzie Mei in Chinatown with her new parasol!!

We happened upon the Hollywood sign, and got a great shot.

Let a 5 year old loose with your camera and you are never sure what they might want to snap a shot of....here is my foot. Guess what other shots Kenzie took~

Entrance to Chinatown. Bought some great CNY decorations, had an amazing dim sum lunch, and we received a lot of curious stares having a Chinese child with all the caucasions.

The famous Ivy, it doesn't look as good or interesting as it does in People, or on TMZ. They seriously need to paint their fence.

America's next top model:)

Not America's next top model!

This is just one of the 50 or so shots in my personal photoshoot....people thought I was crazy, but it kept Kenzie entertained while everyone else shopped.

Kenzie at The Pink Taco...highly recommend the lobster enchildadas.

Have had a great time so far. David arrives today, he is on the way as I type. We head to the beach tomorrow, and will be headed back to Dallas on Sunday. I miss the doggies, but they are home with my mother in law while she holds the fort down.

Off to Chinatown today!!

Looking forward to visiting Chinatown today. Should come home with some fun purchases, a full tummy, and hopefully some good pictures to share with you. Having an awesome time, and looking forward to David coming tomorrow. Look for some fun pictures in the next few days.
