Just found the photos I had taken of us the night of our Home Study with our social worker, Jaclyn. :)

:) Diaper 26 arrived today~

Slow time in the process - pretty depressing, actually. I've never been good at waiting.

In the interim, the painter starts tomorrow (Thursday) with Haley's room, then Ira's, then things I'm having painted for his room (Thank you, Phyllis, for your great ideas on this!) and then the bathroom. It may spread out over a few weeks as he is fitting me into previous engagements but am SO ready for Haley to be able to move all of her furniture from the dining room back into her room.

Once the painting is completed, we can start setting up his room. That will be exciting!

Prom is Friday night for Haley in Parker's Chapel so we leave out early Friday morning. 3 hour drive, hair, makeup, nails, photos, etc. I'll come back on Saturday. Her dress is just stunning -no other word for it.

love to all, Angela

My first eBay victory! An "iGlide Cradle-n-Swing"; Jeremy picked it out a couple of months ago at Babies R US in Little Rock; it is so adorable and will go well with the colors in his room or any room. I remember with Haley it was about the only time I sat her down and served as an awesome "shower-sitter" for that necessary daily bath time...:)
Anyway, caught a great deal on one new/in the box with zero shipping - Lucky me!!

Big Brothers/Big Sisters just picked up a LOAD of clothes, computer, stereo, etc. from us; I finally did some purging as I was unloading the dining room back to the closets from the new flooring. Would like to have done a bit more in Haley but she is turning into quite the pack-rat....

One week until Haley goes to prom; will go tomorrow and find "the" perfect shoes; still looking for "the" perfect hairstyle. She will be the most beautiful girl in the room - no doubt.

TGIF!!!
love to all,
Angie

Ira's wall posting came in today ("wall candy"), some onesies and diapers 24 and 25!!! :) I'm currently bidding on two things on eBay so let's see if I come back with a "success story" - LOL

Easter 2010 - welcomed our Senior Pastor back today after a sabbatical; his teaching was superb! Had a nice lunch with Jeremy's grandparents and siblings and enjoyed the evening with Haley.

The house is getting quieter and I'm thinking about this time, next year. I pray - and believe- that our home will be filled with the laughter and joy of Ira Benjamin Lasiter. We will be making his first Easter basket, dress him up in a beautiful Easter suit only fitting a child of mine, take him to Rock Creek Church for a fantastic teaching by either Mark Evans or Greg Kirksey, have lunch with family and friends and not forget to thank God for all the blessings he has given to this family. We are truly, truly blessed.

What a week! Packed to move 1/2 the house to the other side of the house so new carpet could be put down in all the bedrooms and closets - whew! but I like the carpet :)
My office is now where the breakfast table was that we never used - Ira's nursey is ready to be painted now. I'd like for the painter to come before I move anything back in the rooms much so I don't have to do this again. We have entirely too many things - must simplify!

Ira's 20, 21 and 22nd diapers came in today with an amber necklace for him that has analgesic powers (minimal teething pain for our baby boy!)

I keep praying there is the right birth parent out there looking at our profile and knowing we would give a child a fantastic home~
