Hawaiian Shirts and Girlie Girl Dresses

We found out on Tuesday, 4/3 that we got the referral. We are approved to adopt the teenies! The agency tells us that since we're paper ready and the kids are paper ready, we can hope to travel this summer. June, maybe even May... but more likely June!!! Holy Cow!!! here i was, days earlier, all poopy faced because our referral (for an infant) wouldn't have been until July or August with travel in October .. maybe. And now we have a referral and we're looking at travel in June. I'm loving life and i'm loving our new agency. But at the same time I'm in panic mode. We're not ready! Jeff hasn't had a single shot. We haven't even begun work on the room. We have nothing at all ready... So it's time to kick into high gear. Out goes the furniture in the bedroom. Off we go carpet shopping. New paint, new ceiling, new curtains... a fortune later... and we're making progress on the room.

Easter Sunday, we decide to hit the stores and stock up on clothes for the kids. Hmmm who knew all the stores would be closed on Easter? Luckily we find ONE store that is open. I send Jeff off to the boys section and I hit the girls section. I'm picking every adorable dress i find, mindless of the fact that our little girl will probably be happier in shorts and t's... nope! if i can get her in a cute dress, and the girlier the better, then i'm going for it! I hear an excited shout from Jeff, I look up and there he is proudly waving a tiny pea pod size Hawaiian Shirt.  It was so much fun watching us compete to come up with the cutest outfits for our kids. And the shoes, okay i must admit i love shoes!!! so even though i have no idea what size they wear, that doesn't seem to stop me from picking up a pair or two.

this isn't the actual shirt, i don't know why i didn't take a picture of that one. but this is one of the many of little man's growing collection of Hawaiian shirts.
