Working on Jameson's wardrobe

Last Day of Summer Break

My good friend, Haley, went with me to register at Wal-Mart this morning. Had no idea what that entailed, so I needed someone with prior experience. And hey, that was fun times. I got the same "shopping euphoria" as when I'm actually purchasing things!! Get ready folks, you will be printing out about 50 pages of various and assorted baby items. hee hee

Our travel approval came today, which is a HUGE deal for everyone that has all of their paperwork in place. This lucky group has a tentative travel date of Aug. 26. We, unfortunately, do not fall into that category. Our updated homestudy has still got to be sent to Immigration and we have to be fingerprinted, AGAIN. Sounds simple enough, but it takes time. And I'm having to depend on others to get it done in a timely manner! I don't want our trip to be delayed too long. I guess I cried for about a good 30 minutes before Brian came in and talked me off the ledge.

I sincerely want to get into my classroom, get to know the kids and establish our routine before I leave them, but I think about my baby and am also VERY ANXIOUS to see her face to face and kiss her!!

Jameson's new room...

"THE CALL" coming during the summer was such a blessing, giving me time to get a few things accomplished for this baby girl. And this, of course, includes working on her room. I mentioned in an earlier post that I've had her bedding for YEARS. It was fun seeing all of the things that I'd forgotten. Mom, Diane (my mom in law), Farrah and I painted all day long it seemed (who knew a lovely shade of khaki would have been so hard to cover with baby pink???). Owen was in charge of switch and outlet plates and Justin helped us (involuntarily) to put up the curtains. You may have noticed a family member not making the work day. Hmmm....Brian was conveniently on a fishing trip in Canada.
