Ellie's Quilt!

We finally Hung up the ABC quilt that i made for our Ellie. i found these really great quilt hangers on ebay for something like $16. I love this quilt pattern its the second one ive made and i love it. for anyone who is a quilter out there or might be looking yes i know that i put the z where the n goes and vice versa i am calling that "charm".

Well, this was my evening. there are 40 something of these witch either makes me one cool "Betty Crocker" mom or an idiot, you decide. I also had a great chat tonite with a warm wonderful BTDT adoptive mom who was very kind to share her prospective with me. she gave me some great leads and im sure ill spend the next few days following up on them. in the mean time Mitchell has a halloween, oh i mean "harvest" party tomorrow, jez being PC is no fun but what are ya gonna do about it. Have a great weekend.

Our girl has grown!

Well the wonderful ladies of AGCI have come through once again. and we got an update on Ellie. No photos yet, can you tell im dissapointed? but Hopefully one will come soon. We did get new measurements. Our little girl is up to 25 pounds up about 2 pounds since april. She is roughly 35 inches tall. thats up about an inch. she also has 4 more teeth. i know this isnt much info but we grab onto what we can get and hope that our TA comes soon. here's a semi recent pic from a friend who went to get her Bengbu beauty a few monthes ago.Ellie is the tall one the other sweetie is Mira McCalmont, she is hope with her forever family already. thanks so much beth for the photos.
