Happy news

Look who has a new family. Our friends Margie and John are in China adopting their second daughter. Stop by and bask in the cuteness. Be sure to leave a comment. I couldn't be happier for them.

Isn't she adorable!!!!!
Now for an Alex update. Last week was a endless parade of doctors. Her vision is fine. We have to go back in Oct. for a test on her bladder to determine if her inability to potty train is all neurological. We finally have a pediatrician. He is wonderful and Alex really seems to like him. Monday, Alex went back and had 5 vaccinations and a TB test. Needless to say, last night she was not feeling her best. Today, I went back to work for the first time. I was gone from 7:15 to 12:15. I only called once!!!! Alex didn't really want to eat and had 2 meltdowns, but otherwise, it seemed to go okay.

Now for an explanation of the pictures. The first one is Alex dressing herself. She has definite opinions of what she needs to wear. That day, she picked out her dress. Later she decided she was cold and proceeded to put on her Sponge Bob shirt and a pair of yellow shorts.
This picture is of Alex wearing her doggie shirt. It barks when you press a button and a pair of adjustable waist shorts. I have them on the smallest size and they are still a little too big. She has on her new braces and princess shoes that we bought because none of her other shoes would fit with the new braces.
