First, we have a ‘tentative’ travel schedule, pending a successful court date.  If all goes well we should have an embassy date of July 3.  Meaning we will be in Ethiopia the first week in July.  YAY!!! Next week we’ll know for sure after our court date.

Secondly, have I mentioned Supergirl is now officially potty-trained.  Yes, for probably over a month now she has been wearing ‘big girl pants’ with pull-ups only at night time.  While there have been a few accidents it has actually gone amazingly well.  She basically decided it was time, and Daddy-O was brave enough to put her in big girl pants full-time and now here we are.  Go us!!  I dropped off her application to preschool today, she can start in September after her birthday…  She will go 3 mornings a week.  She’s getting SO BIG!!!  At this moment she is brushing my hair and telling me “mommy, your hairs getting so long”

We also had this conversation tonight.  “I love you mommy”  “I love you too!”  “You are my mother”  “yes, I am”  “yes, and daddy is my guy”   :)

We took Supergirl on a little trip to Grant’s Farm where she got to feed the baby goats AND the camels.  According to her the best part was the camels!

A fresh coat of paint… May 19, 2007

Filed under: Kids — findingbabyg @ 1:55 pm

One day I decided it might be a good idea to paint Supergirl’s bathroom. We already had the paint, I could tape it while she napped and paint after bedtime. So, with taping completed I called Daddy-O at work and advised him of my plan. He told me to wait until he got home and he could take some of the nails out of the walls and fill the holes, blah blah blah. Only a few hours after turning my project over to him this is what it looked like…April 007April 008
Supergirl’s bathroom minus a floor, a sink and a toilet—-oh wait, there it is-in the bathtub!!  Don’t ask…
I’ll post pics of the finished project later :)

Here are some more pics. These and the two before came from a family who traveled recently to pick up their kiddos. It is really incredible how supportive everyone is and how nice it is they take the time out to take and send these. Yay parents!!! 163164
