Thanks for looking.



dian,
thanks for the brielle update.
she is just so absolutely adorable as usual,
but loosing some of the baby look and turning into
a little girl...doesnt time fly!

i hope all is going well with the little guy you added to your family a few months back. (your nephew or cousin,
i forget)

i have thought of your family at various times the last few months, as you had been such a sense of support to me when i was struggling to bring home our daughter.

glad all is well...and Cute! lol!


with caring,
cris.

Wow! What a beauty she is. I can't believe how much she has grown. It seems like time just drags and drags as we are waiting for our children. Then once they are home, woosh it flies by and they are so grown up. Thanks for posting.

Wow, thanks for all the kind responses. It's great to hear from so many of you! I just love seeing and hearing about all of your kids as well. So many of you went through the process with me, so many just now going through but we all have so much in common.

Zanjen~Unfortunately, I don't sew but I wish I could! I actually bought a sewing machine last year to learn how...I did make a receiving blanket, LOL. The outfit I got on ebay, it was Greggy Girl brand, but looks a lot like so many of those awesome custom outfits people make. Hey, do you still make those hair thingamabobs??? If you are let me know and I'll buy some...they are so cute!

Thanks Cris.
