MBNA CONVENTION
David is off to his annual convention tonight. He will be in Baltimore tomorrow. I don't get to go with him this year.(bummer) Maybe next year. He will come home with LOTS of new ideas for the business. He is also going to get to see his brother and sister while he is there. Marcy is going to fly in on Friday. David is very excited about that. He and is siblings have not been together in 5 years. The kiddos and I are going to take it easy while he is gone I hope. I have been really busy with work. Jacob started back to school yesterday. So life around here is crazy.

Poem
The Chosen One - Author Unknown
I had a dream the other night
It came to me so clear
I stood before the throne of God
Afraid to come too near
God said to me "I hear your prayers"
There's answers you can't find
I asked you here to talk to me
And help to ease your mind
I said, "Well yes God, I am upset"
About my special one
This punishment is awfully harsh
What ever have I done?
God looked at me and shook his head
and said you've got it wrong
I sent this special child to you
because you are so strong
I searched and searched to find someone
With love so rare
A parent so unselfish
That could give that special care
I try and save my special gifts
Like those you're speaking of
For special kind of parents
I call the "Chosen Ones"
Of all the ones to choose from
think this I have done
A parent who deserves the best
An honor you have won
I had a dream the other night
It came to me so clear
I stood before the throne of God
Afraid to come too near
God said to me "I hear your prayers"
There's answers you can't find
I asked you here to talk to me
And help to ease your mind
I said, "Well yes God, I am upset"
About my special one
This punishment is awfully harsh
What ever have I done?
God looked at me and shook his head
and said you've got it wrong
I sent this special child to you
because you are so strong
I searched and searched to find someone
With love so rare
A parent so unselfish
That could give that special care
I try and save my special gifts
Like those you're speaking of
For special kind of parents
I call the "Chosen Ones"
Of all the ones to choose from
think this I have done
A parent who deserves the best
An honor you have won

FIRE
Mom and Dad had a fire in their attic last night. They were in the process of moving to the house Cliff was living in. They just moved in sooner then expected. The fire was where the smoke stack connects to the roof. Nobody was hurt Praise the Lord. It could have been a lot worse.

Quite Nights
David and I have had no kids for the last two nights. It is really quite at our house. We went to dinner last night at El Pueblo our favorite Mexican restaurant. Tonight we went to Lowe's to pick out paint samples for my office.
It has been really nice to have the quite time with each other. We ended our evening going to Starbucks for a treat.

Christmas
We had a really nice quite Christmas this year. David played Santa until 3:00 am. He watches movies and wraps presents. The kids and I went to bed pretty early in the evening. We had to wake the kids up to open their gifts. That will all change when we get Hannah. The kids where happy with their gifts. David and the kids had the most awesome T-shirt made for me. Jacob had a cute idea that I have had a baby every way possible. He was my rock baby (natural), Emily was my scissor baby (C-section) and Hannah is my paper baby(adopted) so on my shirt it has their names under the picture of rock, paper, scissors. It brought me to tears. We ended our day with dinner with my parents, grandma and my aunt. I was a nice day!! We hope you have had a nice Christmas too!

Christmas Shopping
Tonight was our annually Christmas shopping night. What we do is I take one kid and David takes the other and they Christmas shop for each other. It is really exciting to watch them think about what they are going to get each other. They have to pick out the perfect gift for each other. After we shopped we went to Starbucks. I have to thank Teresa for introducing me to peppermint steamers they are awesome.

One year old
One year ago today we were delivering puppies. We have had contact with all of our families that have the dogs and they are doing great. They have all grown up to be beautiful happy goldens.
15 months
It has been 15 months since our dossier has been logged in. I NEVER dreamed that we would be waiting this long for our little one. We are hoping that is speeds up soon. The last batch of referrals that where sent out were only 6 days. Please pray that China matches all of December 2005 in January of 2008.
