Well now, isn't that just DANDY!

You know, I've read a little bit about this Swine Flu going around ( who hasn't? That's just about all that is on the news!) Anyway, to be honest I have not really been too concerned about it because, as of now there has been nobody here effected by it. Well, not so much anymore. Apparently 2 kids just got back from a trip to Mexico, and the school nurse wanted them tested. Sure enough they tested positive! Although, Lily does'nt go to school there, she does have Girl Scouts with three girls who do. I just checked the local news up here, and all schools here are going to be closed tomorrow and Friday. I'm kind of glad we found out now, cause she would have gone to Girl Scouts this Friday. Needless to say it will be canceled too. I talked to one of the troop mother's, her daughter does go to the school in question, and she had no idea, just as shocked as me! I was a little pissed, that they new this yesterday, but let all of the kids go to school today! I would REALLY be ticked off it my child did go to that school, and they said nothing.
I do know, from what I've read, it is not suppose to be any more deadly than the regular flu, so this is why I did not pay too much attention at first, if this is true, then why be so secretive about it? I think somebody knows more than the average Joe, and they don't want a mass-hysteria situation. But who am I to guess!
I do realize that this thing might end up keeping some people who have their referrals from being able to travel for a little while. Also, there are rumors that the CCAA will not send out any more referrals for a while, at least until this starts to clear up I guess.
For those of you who are among the ones who already have your little ones photos, who could not possibly travel soon enough anyway, without this crap thrown into the mix, I'll be thinking of you daily (not that I don't already!) and sending mental hugs!
This is just CRAZY!
On a good note, I've got all day tomorrow and Friday with both my girls, so I just might post another video!

Lovin' this video thang!

O.K. now I think I'm on a roll!
After over three years of having this blog, I know y'all have seen many pictures of my girls, but you haven't gotten the clear picture until you see them in action.
It was beautiful outside today, so I took advantage of it. Enjoy!






Oh, in case you're wondering, Madilyn is just fine, she was just a little embarrassed. My girls are too funny!

Also, there are early rumors out that the CCAA has started matching, usually referrals aren't far behind, let's just hope they cover many, many days!!!

Redneck Easter Egg fun!

O.K. so I've FINALLY figured out how to upload my videos to my computer.

What a pain in the @ss too, I followed the directions that came with my handy dandy little High def Sony camcorder, and I was able to view them in the program that you have to use to download them onto your computer, but when I came in here to put it onto the blog, it was a no go. Well, after much researching to try to find out how the heck I can see them in any other program, it's Done! Now I have not tested this yet, so I hope you all can see and hear this video.

How many do you see?

Let's play a little game shall we.

In this photo, how many candles are there?

This is no trick, just a question.

If you say three, then you are correct.

Well, what does a cupcake with three candles stand for?

Today is our third anniversary.

Not our wedding anniversary, but it has been three years since our paperwork was logged into the system at the CCAA.

Yep, three years. Who would have EVER thought this adoption would take that long? And the sad thing is, we're not even done yet. We have no idea how long it will end up being.

Some of the girls I have been able to meet during this wait have already been introduced to their precious little ones, and some got referrals Friday, some others are going to see their babies faces for the first time tomorrow, and I am so excited for them ( I will be stalking their blogs all day tomorrow for updates) and in a way, I can live vicariously (spelling?) through them till it is our turn. There are all sorts of rumors out there that things are about to speed up. Well, we sure hope so!
