.:National Adoption Day:.

Today is National Adoption Day!! Hundreds of thousands of people celebrate the adoptions of their own children, and many adoptions are finalized on this day as well. For more information on National Adoption Day you can visit the website: http://www.nationaladoptionday.org/2008/index.asp

Thank you for the prayers, love, and support! I'm trying to get more info on here, but they are just kind of in the waiting period right now, which leaves me with not much to report, other than being thankful for this experience and journey that I get to go on with my wonderful sister and her family!

.:The Nursery:.

So, the adoption agency requires that Shari send pictures of the house, and a picture of the room that the baby would be staying in. So, while Shari and Brady were in Spokane at an appointment about the adoption, Shareena was babysitting, and I snuck over, and Shareena and I painted the nursery for Shari. She had already purchased the decorations, so as soon as the paint was dry, decorate we did!! :) Looks pretty good if I do say so myself!

.:The Little Red Rocker:.

So, I have been big into going to garage sales lately, and my friend and I found this cute little red rocking chair that I fell in love with then and there!! It even matches the baby room that Shari has already set up. Shari was in Utah visiting family at the time, so I bought it for her and had it waiting in the room when she got home. I wrote this little poem to go along with it:

.:The Little Red Rocker:.

It sits in the room, in the corner by itself,
The purpose of the chair is greater than wealth.
The paint is worn, but the seat still sturdy,
Made for a little girl, that way it won't get dirty.
The wait has been hard, the wait has been long,
The final piece to the puzzle to make the family strong.
They already love you, they already care,
A blanket of love you soon will wear.
Mom, Dad, and brothers, your own family,
Just waiting for their own little girl, their baby.
