I think I might be nesting...



What a nice long weekend. Grace spent 2 nights away from home with friends. This was the first time she's spent the night at someone other than a relative's house and she did outstandingly well! We are so proud of our girl. It gave Dan and I some alone time and we got many projects done over these 3 days. Dan stained the deck, I planted pots and in flower beds. We watched a movie completely uninterrupted by a 5 yr. old. Also went out to dinner by ourselves. We have more paperwork to complete to get back to our agency and I've started on that. We did some furniture re-arranging, namely switched beds in Grace's and William's rooms. Grace got the white iron feminine bed that was in Lily's (now William's) room and he got Grace's full size bed. I completely cleaned out the extremely messy closet in Will's room and have started decorating his room a bit. Bought his first PJ's, swimsuit and a 2 pairs of shorts and tops for him. I'm guessing on his size for now at a 2T. Hoping to get more updated info about the little guy as far as his weight and height for a more correct size. This whole thing is still quite surreal to me. Friday we went in to sign more papers and pick up papers and our SW told us we could possibly be traveling in 6-8 weeks! Yikes, gotta get busy here. With the Olympics coming up I'm not sure of that, maybe our China travel will be post Olympics but we'll see. We'll be ready. If we had to leave next week, I'd be ready somehow. :)


I'll post more about Will next time...just some things that I want to share.

Nest away, Gail!! You'll be bringing Will home before you know it! I was glad you posted his size.....might have to do a little retail therapy on his behalf!

Oh my goodness Gail, you are getting ready and that is so exciting. How will you do little Will's room? I need to know.
