About Being Password Protected!

I just wanted people to know if they don’t have a password, you may feel like you are missing out, but you are not :) The only thing the protection is for is for very detailed info, like for instance where I put my address, or last name, flight, what time I will be at the gym, etc.

The blog will go on like it has, so please do not feel like you are missing out, it’s not really juicy stuff :) It just means I mention private information, that my family would like me to keep private for their own privacy. I am sure you understand. There will be public pictures of Lulu when we go to Vietnam, everything will be public as long as it doesn’t say something like, “Lulu and I are going to the doctor at XYZ address at XYZ time” :)

Lulu’s Pediatrician

Lulu’s pediatrician is all set up. And I love him. I was given his name on the advice of an AP, C (whom I love, adore, and trust wholeheartedly) and I just got off the phone with this guy, and I know T will love him, too. Wow. Love him.

So happy Lulu has so wonderful to look after her health!

Children’s Stuff Recalls and other stuff

Does anyone know a good blog source to keep informed about Recalls on Children’s Items? Also, I am looking for a great blog on keeping your child healthy. Like, a blog that was mad about BPA before the government admitted it “ain’t” good, and other forward thinking ideas.

Surprises in the Mail!!!!!

We were on vacation the last week. I came home to a few packages!!! My Secret Buddy more than fulfilled my wish list :)

and in case you can;t see the reindeer…

And we got a sock monkey!!! YAY!!!!

Today is September First.

Today is the day. If you have been logged into Vietnam adoption, if you do not have a refferal,  you will no longer be able to adopt a child from Vietnam (unless you have a refferal or the USA and VN reach an agreement.) Let’s hope if the USA and VN do indeed come to resolution, it is not ripe with fraudulence and susipicion of such.

Vacation All I Ever Wanted!

Thanks to very generous family(of)family we had a great vacation this week!

Here are some highlights:

NEPHEW: A

My Score for $30 NEW SHOES!

And the best pic of all:

My nephew T, Hubby T, and nephew A :)

What to wear while traveling?

Growing up, I traveled a lot with family. At about 18, I started doing some traveling on my own (usually to meet with people.) Once, I noticed other people trvaelling in pajamas and flannel pants. What a great idea, I thought. And that is how it has been ever since. Pajamas or flannel pants, or just something *I* wear as jammies.

In comes husband. Who travels “dressed up,” if you will. He believes in khakis and polos while traveling. This is what is comfortable to him.

In comes travel to Vietnam. How should I dress? 24? hour flight - most likely with stops. Should I dress most comfotable for me, or, should I dress decent as I don’t want to embarress DH?

What would you do?

Falling through the Cracks

In, CT, you get a 797c instead of an i171h

We moved a few months ago and our agency redid our HS. At the end of the HS I asked the SW how our address would be changed with the government and she said their office would take care of that.

Around the same time we got re-fingerprinted. When we got our updated 797c, it went to our old address. It did not dawn on me until yesterday our paperwork has two addresses!

Not to mention, we have not received a copy of the updated HS. And after inquiring to our adoption agency, HS agency never sent it to them!
