Bella Dasash will be here in 12 days! LiLi and I made a chain out of colored construction paper and every morning she tears one off. Today she said, "it's getting shorter".
George has made several trips to IKEA. He has now put together a chest of drawers for our room, a great wooden organizer for the hall closet(which is our pantry) and side table with drawers that we have next to the computer. He did this with LiLi's help so it took a VERY long time. The only thing else that we need is a wooden organizer with colored bins to go into the girls room. Bella Dasash will be in our room for the first few months so there is no rush.
I have made all the appointments. Over the next 12 days, we are getting the cars washed, the oil changed, haircuts, my lip and brow waxed (TMI :)), and making our final trip to Buy Buy Baby for wipes, etc. We have made Bella Dasash's appointment with The International Adoption Clinic at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and have a call into the pediatrician.
Today is a snow day so LiLi's preschool is closed BUT George had to go to work! We will make it to her Little Gym Karatenastics class. :)
Please continue to pray for a safe trip home from Ethiopia as well as a smooth transition!

My Dad always made us a chain before Christmas and Easter when I was a kid. This past Christmas, he made one for Emma with a countdown to our Florida vacation in January. Emma loved taking the rings off. What memories. I hope Lili is able to take the rings off quickly and that the time goes fast.
