Missing Gift—New Milbrand-Dabaie secret pal

I'm not sure if you've heard from Amy yet, but we never received the first Secret Pal gift from our new pal. Hope it didn't get lost in the mail! We're looking forward to getting to know you.

Day 12 in the wait for LOA

Today the rest of Levi's furniture came in. I was very excited because they said it wouldn't be here until Friday. We decided to stop at a couple of antique shops before picking it up to try to find more John Deere stuff for Levi's room. We did find a couple more signs to put on the walls. His room is coming together nicely. I have to say that so far I love the crib, but the dresser I am not so fond of. We are trying to keep busy in hopes that the wait for LOA will go by faster. Keep your fingers crossed everyone.

I think I have everything together to send in our packet for USCIS tomorrow. I have to make a couple copies and then it's in the mail. Lets hope that our I171H comes back quickly. Our original doesn't expire until September 6th so we have time, I just don't want to get our Ta and have to wait for travel because our paperwork expired and we haven't gotten the renewal back yet.

We still have much to do before we travel but our hearts are ready to go bring our boy home. I have a couple of pictures of daddy putting the crib together that I will post hopefully tomorrow. I have been sick the last couple of days and it is finally catching up with me. Summer colds are the worst!!!

Thank you to the Heinle Family SP!

We love the books that you sent to us! We did not have either of them! I had wanted to get Ruby's Wish for quite some time, but I didn't! I had read a Mother for Koko in my classroom and the kids loved it there, so I am sure that Conner and his little sister will love it as well!

Thank You to Payne Secret Pal

Sorry this is late in posting but we did receive our wonderful gift from our Secret Pal. I know the Dora book will be a hit, it is safely tucked away for DD#2. Sophie, however immediately saw the Cookbook & Bake set and has claimed it has her own. She LOVES to bake and has been busy reading the recipes! Thanks so much - ~ileana

Story Time

Thank you SP for the great books and the wonderful poem. We have already read the ladybug book to Maddie and she loved it. We have added all the books to Baby "K's" small library hoping soon we will get to read them to her. The "Little Friends" was put aside to take to China with us that is perfect for my first book.

Thank you

Baby Lem SP
