Our 31st Anniversary of Waiting for Mylie Camille and a Happy Birthday to a Firm Believer.....

in Equality of All Men. He helped open the door for many to have their dreams come true. Tomorrow is one of those days many have hoped would finally come true.

Freedom, what a wonderful privilege we all have that so many have fought for.....



What a day to remember all the way around!

Journey To Mylie Camille

I made my layout with the Myspace Background Maker. Get myspace layouts, graphics, and flash toys at pYzam.

Look what I found...

I finally got some photos off of Holly's Camera. I think you can see that they date back to Halloween 2008, but I still wanted to post them. I just love the costumes the kids chose this year. We got so many new ideas for Halloween 09 from many of the guests at the Disney Halloween Party. We'll see what we come up with this year.

What is a Plasma Car??

I've been asked what a Plasma Car is. Well I will add the link here so you can get the scoop from the company. I will tell you that on a cold or rainy day it can be ridden inside. Holly and Wendy have used them as bumper cars. ha
Mike and I have even ridden them! Lots of fun.

Some of our Christmas Photos.....

Okay, you girls say "Barbie"....


This Christmas was divided into two different gift opening days. The first was the Monday before Christmas Day. This was the Day that Lacy and her special guy came in to celebrate with us. This was our first Christmas Holiday to celebrate in our new home. We had a wonderful visit with them and wished it could have been longer. They headed back to Dallas for Nick's family Christmas on Christmas Eve.

Nick and Lacy surprised Wendy with her very own and first ever Barbie House. As you can see in the photo of all three girls they were loving everything about it.

Wendy has looked forward to the day she would finally get to play with Barbie Dolls!!

The top photo is of Wendy Christmas morning with the Plasma Car that Santa brought to her and he also brought one for Holly as well.

Even though I got sick Christmas Day we still had a wonderful holiday.

New Years Eve 2008

It won't be long now until we ring the new year in and it will be January 1st, 2009. I do hope I don't write it wrong on the next check or letter I have to send out. Sometimes I start off just right and then revert back to the old year months later.

I want to wish all of my China Sisters, Close Family Friends and Family a Very Happy, Prosperous, and Healthy NEW YEAR!!

I hope and pray that this will be the year we celebrate receiving our daughter, and sister Mylie. It has been a long time coming and the anticipation is still just as strong as it was the day we sent of the paper work. I pray that China will see it in there hearts to speed things up since there are many children who need their loving mommies and daddy's to love and spoil them. Not to mention all of the mommies and daddy's who need their love in return. It is time for that speed up, but no one knows for sure whether there will be one soon or not.

To all of my sweet friends who will soon be traveling to meet their baby Daughters and Son; I pray that your TA's will soon come in and that you will be with them before too long.

To all of us that are still waiting I pray that our time will move swiftly and our patients will continue, because I know that the wait will be worth it in the end. I know first hand with having Wendy! I will say that the wait is still very, very hard just the same though. Wendy wants her baby sister so much.

Safe travels to all who will be out bringing the New Year in.

Love,
Lesa

Yesterday.....

was Christmas Day. The morning started off great. Wendy came in our room for the first time since she has been in her big girl bed. I was half awake at this point...she climbed up in bed with us and said "My fan is making weird noises". Humm, I said maybe it was Santa making his final stop. She laid there all snuggled up and then just couldn't contain herself any longer at all! She was full of GIGGLES! "Can we go see if Santa has came????", she said. Well little did she know that Santa hadn't placed the larger gifts out at that time. So, Dad said just a minute and I will go and see if the Old Elf has came. During this time he quietly took the larger items and placed them in front of the tree. Once he had done this he came in and said it was all clear that Santa had came and gone. Wendy jumped up and ran into the living room and just stared in awe.

I got up and told her to run and tell Holly that Santa Claus had been here. This was now right at 7:45 am. Holly really doesn't appreciate getting up this early, but made an effort to look jolly. ha.

Mean time we got coffee ready and Wendy opened up her stocking gifts while waiting for Holly to come in. Once Holly came in we started getting ready for the tree.
From that point on I started feeling a little upset in the tummy. It started lower GI and then next came the upper GI, and then the two together!! Gee whiz!!!!! I was like this from 8:30 to 6:30 pm. Mike finally found a Pharmacy that was open, good ole' Walgreen's. We'll have to remember them for the next holiday season.... I hope not!!
Our first Christmas here in our new house and this is how I got to spend it! I really don't remember what I got at all.
This morning I woke up and am feeling better, but oh so sore from all of the lower and upper GI stuff! I'm hoping that things get better today. So far so good.

I think Holly took photos of the tree and gifts; so I will post those as soon as I get a chance.

Here's hoping that everyone had a better day than I did. ha
