Oh would "the day" just come...

Today is just one of those days where my heart longs to see our baby's face.  Oh, please come soon....and then I will sing you this song.

TOMS TOMS TOMS...

So today, the package I have been waiting for since last week, arrived.  My first pair of TOMS!  Yay!  AND, our baby's first pair of TOMS too!  I was inspired by my blogger buddy, Bex, who purchased the same pair of Tiny TOMS recently.  I think she has eagerly been waiting the arrival of mine too!  :)  What's awesome about these shoes is that for every pair you buy, they give a new pair to a child in need.  You need to check them out!  So, since I am a photographer, and sometimes I can't stop taking pictures, I am posting a few of our new shoes.  These are all taken with my iPhone 4 and edited with Kubota Actions. 

When Wes got home and saw these, he said he got choked up looking at the little ones.  Oh I just can't wait for this little pea to come home!

Beauty in the midst of Alopecia...

So I won't be talking about Alopecia here on this blog, because I have just posted it up on our photography blog. Please stop by and read Alli's story. She lost all of her hair when she was 5, but it eventually grew back. 15 years later, Alopecia struck again, but this time she struck back. She is the guest blogger on our photography blog, and she tells a beautiful story. Click HERE to read all about it!

Little Surprises...

Today I walked out to the mailbox and discovered an overstuffed envelope in it.  When I opened it up, I knew immediately who it was from:  my parents.  I have a feeling my mom was the main force behind this purchase, but my dad is just as excited as my mom.  I'll ask later.  For now, I am just posting a pic of the goodies within the envelope.  If you can't tell, there seems to be a lot more girl clothes than boys.  Chances are pretty high that we will get a referral for a little boy.  But that doesn't stop my mom from hoping.  She will be happy with a boy too, but she REALLY wants a girl.  I was actually surprised she managed to get any boy clothes in there at all!

By the way, my mother seems to call me every other day crying, because she has either watched someone's gotcha day video, or she is reading an adoption blog. She tells me that she has never felt this way, and can't figure out why she is emotional all the time. She asked if it will go away once we have our babies (she is waiting on the two my brother and sister-in-law are adopting, and the one or two we are adopting). I told her that it probably will not. Do you think she has caught the orphan/adoption bug? I think so. Love you Mamma!
