Weekend Review...

Wow..what a weekend we have had.  I wrote last week husband was on call last weekend and week that we didn't really get to do much.  We made up for it this weekend.

Saturday...We went shopping.  We had to buy books for the Cyber Shower that I am in.  This months theme is books.  So, we went to the bookstore and bought books for that and we also got the neatest book on China.  It is HUGE.  I guess you would call it a coffee table book.  It has lots of beautiful pictures and it also talks about the culture.  I LOVE IT!!   I have been wanting something like this since we started the adoption.  It is called: CHINA People/Place/Culture/History.  It is a really neat book.  We got it at Barnes and Nobles.  Then we to T-Mobile to get a couple of things for my new phone.  Let's just say it was a long day even though we didn't do lots of stuff.  Oh yeah, we also went and Dean got his hair cut.  It was so needed!!  He is back to my handsome man. 

Sunday...We went to the pumpkin patch again.  We love the pumpkin patch.  We went and got our huge pumpkin.  It is about 20 lbs.  We stayed there for a little while.  Then on our way home we stopped at Bath and Body Works and I got some new Smellys.  I have been out of my good perfume for a little while.  We went looking for it and it is no longer being made.  So, I thought until Christmas I would get some that was a little cheaper.  I got their perfume of Sweet Pea.  It smells really good.  Then we had to go to GhettoLand (Winco) to go grocery shopping.  It has been a really nice day.  We hope that everyone had a great weekend, too.

On another note....only 3 more days until our 1 yr LIDversary.  On Wednesday we will be celebrating being logged in with China for 1 yr. 

Ali's Christmas Ornament...

  October 20, 2007

click to enlarge This week I ordered a Christmas ornament for Alicyn Shea from Jiinkinkids.  It is a little girl with brown eyes that says BELIEVE on it.   I love this word.  This word describes so many things for me.  It means to me...I BELIEVE in Fairies.   Everyone know that I LOVE FAIRIES!!  It also means with the China adoption.  You have to Believe that we WILL all have our little princesses here someday.  It is a very special word.  I bought this ornament for Ali Shea.  Last year we bought her first ornament and it too, was a Jiinkinkids ornament.  It has a panda on it and says Alicyn Shea.  I absolutely love Stephanie's art.  Please click on the link above and check it out.  She makes the most beautiful pictures and now ornaments.  You might want to buy some Christmas gifts from there.  Please tell her that Cyndi sent you.  I have met Stephanie before and she is a magnificent person.  She is so friendly.  So, go ahead and check out her website.  Thank you Stephanie.  I love the ornament and the special card you sent with it.
