Sandra Bullock is My New Fave Actress

why you may ask? because of her statement regarding her adoption: "we didn't want to go at it any other way than the way everyone else would have to do it. there are hoops, but the hoops are there to protect the child. and worth every jump." i LOVE it. thank you sandra for not using your celebrity status and for going through all the hoops, the ups, the downs, the frustrations and the excitement that we're all going through.

BOB is in the House!

i'm ready to take baby for a walk!

the dresser has arrived...i love it! (note the star pulls on the drawers!)

Make Room For Baby!

the nursery is coming along! check out our new additions. daddy heath put together the glider rocker and swing this week and we even managed to raise up the crib to the proper level this morning. i ordered the matching dresser yesterday and that should be arriving in the next two weeks. starting to feel like this baby is going to have nicer things than us! :)

Update Time

happy spring! we just had a wonderful, fun-filled spring weekend here in minnesota! friday night we went to the minnesota wild game with our good friends bill & cyndi, saturday (my 34th birthday!) we headed down to the absolutely amazing, all-new target field for the twins exhibition game against the st. louis cardinals with our good friends (and co-season-ticket holders) nate & pam and sunday we spent easter with my family down in owatonna. all in all, a perfect birthday weekend! the weather was beautiful and i have to admit, i felt like a kid in a candy store when i arrived at the twins game. target field is everything i imagined and more! our seats are amazing (right behind home plate) and the views of downtown are gorgeous. i love it! can't wait to head back next thursday for a noon game against the red sox.





now back to our adoption journey...we found out today that we need to have our homestudy updated as it has almost been one year! we need to update a few forms, have cory (our social worker) come back to our house for another visit and update our background checks (new fingerprints not yet needed...thank goodness!). when i first read the email about updating things i felt a little discouraged, but at the same time i cannot believe how fast the past year has flown by! filling out and updating a few more forms is such a small price to pay now that our journey is moving closer to our happy ending. we are so excited to meet baby reedy!

before i sign off for the night, i must send out a special thank you & shout out to the gals in my book club! they completely suprised me last tuesday night when they presented me with a big box wrapped in baby paper...it was our baby swing! yay! thank you so much ladies!

hope everyone had a happy easter weekend!
love,
