My easter weekend was fun. Both are families are in NY except my mom and brother, but my brother and his wife worked so I didn't even see them.

Saturday, driving past our park we saw a huge easter egg hunt with those giant jumpolene things, and tons of kids stuff to do so we stopped in an my son joined the hunt which was fun. Then, Sunday we spent the day at my mom's house eating til I felt like lead!

But it was fun.

Colleen - I felt very confident selecting my agency because I just felt so comfortable with them. We actually had a meeting with the director today to answer some of our questions and it went well. Things are going quickly and we should have meetings with social workers in about 3 weeks. I am really happy with them if that gives you any comfort.

I can't believe about your cousin having 3 kids after so many IVFs! wow, I guess adoption was not meant for them. I am officially done that route since my husband got a vasectomy in February! (too many heartaches and we didn't want to take any more chances).

Monica - I can't believe your puppy is only 5 weeks old - You got her so young, I thought puppies had to stay with their mom's until 8 weeks. She must be teeny!

I am finished with my letter but I have to just tweak it a bit since I got the outline from my agency today so I'm going ot add a few things. My agency said 6 pages is good. I am at 7 pages (including pictures) and will probably be at 8 finished. I think I have a good one, I hope : } I'm going to give it to the agency when I'm done and see what they think.

For the journal, I purchased a just a blank journal to write in - I didn't realize there was a book out. I had bought a blank journal when I was pg with my son that I wrote in the entire time, so I wanted to do the same for my next child. I haven't started writing yet, I think I will once I finish all the paperwork for the agency.

Talk to all of you soon - let's get together and scrap!!!!
