I hope everybody had a great holiday. It was
a nice holiday weekend for us as we left town
for a few days, we did incur some rain so we
were not able to have an Easter egg hunt out
in the grass, but Grandma Ost made sure to
hide some eggs in her place for Allie. On
Monday after Allie's school we headed out
to Aunt Selina's for some photo taking and
the kids had a blast playing. I will be
heading down to the Secretary Of The State
tomm to get a few things sealed and then
they will head to the Los Angeles Chinese
Consulate, once back they are headed to
the agency and then China. We will be
DTC the first week of May. ( Yipee) My
Dad, Allie, and I will have lunch tomm
then Friday some of our cousin's will be
comming and we will be breaking out my
Cricut, I cant wait to use it. This weekend
will be relaxing and busy. I will be sure
to take pics!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!


With Lots Of Love.

Happy Easter & Passover!!!

Allie loving her new shopping cart!!!

It is with my great pleasure to announce
we have recieved our I800A approval from
Immigration, this has to be the biggest
hurdle, and we made it through. What a
HUGE WEIGHT LIFTED OFF ME!!! Thank you
GOD!!! So this morning we get the good
news and Kelly informs me that he isn't
crazy about the name Hannah, so here we
go again!!! I know he does like the names
Lauren & Jennifer, hey if anyone has any
ideas, I really welcome them. This weekend
should be fun, we got Allie a Dora egg
decorating kit, and an adorable basket
full of stuff. We will be spending time
with both of Allie's Grandma's, which
is really nice. Were even taking Sassie
to Tucson to see her Grandma Debbie.


HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!!

I hope everyone's doing well!! It's been kinda
busy around here lately. Our paperwork is in
Missouri at immigration for Hannah, so were
hoping to hear back soon. I babysat all last
week for Kirsten & Emily and the kids had alot
of fun at the park, baking, and just being together
Allie got to go with the Davis family to the Dragon
Boat Races, and she had a blast!!When they returned
we had some pizza and salad at our house. Allie had
school the last few days, and I worked there today
we have several things planned for April including
another visit to the zoo next week with Allie's friend
Abby.

UPDATE ON ALLIE: ALLIE CAN NOW COUNT TO 17, SHE KNOWS
HER COLORS, SHAPES, AND MOST OF HER ALPHABET, I PICKED
HER UP FROM CLASS YESTERDAY, AND ONE OF THE MOM'S WAS
COMPLETELY AMAZED BY HER!! ALLIE IS JUST A BIG SPONGE
I'M AMAZED BY HER!!! THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME SUCH
A SPECIAL LITTLE GIRL IN EVERYWAY!!!

FORGOT TO TELL YOU ALL THIS: ONE DAY ALLIE AND I WERE
IN THE BATH, AND WE WERE SINGING, " THE FARMER IN THE
DELL" I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE LAST VERSE AND SHE SAID
TO ME. " MOMMY IT'S THE CHEESE STANDS ALONE" I WAS LIKE
" YOU SMARTY PANTS"

NOTE: PLEASE KEEP ONE OF THE LITTLE GIRLS FROM PANDA
FRIENDS IN YOUR PRAYERS AS SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL FOR
VERY BAD ANEMIA PROBLEM, FROM THE NOTE I GOT TODAY
HER BLOOD COUNT IS BETTER, SHE MAY NOT NEED CHEMO!!
OUR COMMUNITY IS ALL BANDING TOGETHER TO HELP THIS
FAMILY OUT AS RILEY'S MOMMY IS A SINGLE MOM!!!


WITH MANY HUGS,

The Zoo Saturday & Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Emily, Kirsten, and Allie striking a pretty pose for us.

We bought a year long pass to the zoo and it
has been a great investment, we've been there
3-times in the last month. I really feel this
is a place of total peace & tranquility and I
love taking Allie there. She has such a HUGE
HEART for animals. It's funny growing up as
a kid in California, we hardly ever went to
the zoo. Allie and her daddy went on a Camel
ride, if I didn't have the Vertigo, I would
of gone on with her. My Vertigo is a little
better, I took the meds last week, I was
given by my Doctor, just taking one pill
knocked me out for most of the day, I had
to stop taking them. I will see the Dr.
again this week and see what he says.

Thanks for all the well wishes!!!

Hope your all well & Happy St. Patty's Day!


P.S. I JUST FOUND FACEBOOK RECENTLY IF ANYONE
IS ON, PLEASE SEND ME AN INVITE!!!

I hope everyone is doing well!! As I post I've
have felt pretty lousy the last few weeks
and cant type at the computer for more than
a few minutes at a time, I have Vertigo and
it hits at different times of the day. We've
been pretty busy, we had a trip to the zoo
last week, Allie started school on Monday,
and My Cousin came out today and scrapped
alot of the day, in between we did have
a little visit to the park, Allie and Sassie
just loved it.

We have our finger printing appointment on Friday
and it's so sureal as 03-13-2009 marks 24 years
ago that my mother passed away from breast cancer
at the age of 38-years old. I often wish she were
here to see how wonderful life is having our Allie
I started Weight Watcher's last Saturday and I've
lost 5 pounds already!!! I started a blog a long
