Packing



It appears we have officially started packing. Above is the backpack Lucie and Tessie picked out for HaiYang along with the items that are being stuffed into the backpack. They each picked a few things they thought she would like to play with. I am sure she will play with all of it the 1st day and we'll be out looking for new things to occupy her. We also plan to go armed with cookies and candy to try to lure her to us.
I attached a pictures of the new clothes we picked up, this is a great time to buy summer clothes as they are all marked down considerably! I still have to sort through the trunk of size 3 & 4 clothes we have from Lucie and Tessie, I am sure we will be able to dress her for a months without repeating outfits.
No this does not mean we have any travel information it just means we are getting anxious and excited. I am sure we will hear something soon and I am still hopeful that we will travel in August, although it is pretty unlikely that we will do so without the girls missing the 1st week of school. Oh sorry, I hate to talk about school this early in the summer, didn't mean to scare anyone we still have 5 weeks to enjoy.
*If you look closely in the right hand corner of the picture with the clothes, you can see Baby, isn't she adorable!! I'll have to post a better picture of her, she is the one that really rules this house.

Daysie it is!








Yes we decided to name the newest member of our family Daysie. By the looks of the recent pictures, her name suits her well. She has grown so much in the last year, since we first saw her picture. We are sad we had to miss it but have so much to look forward to with her. Lucie and Tessie are armed and ready to be her big sisters, I only hope she cooperates with all of their plans :-).
We still do not have a travel date, hoping it comes soon. We are just about ready, the rooms have been successfully completed, almost all of our paperwork is finished (visa apps. going in the mail today) all that will be left is the dreadful packing. I honestly think the packing my be worse than the paperchase!!!! And packing for 3 little girls..... ugh!!! Wish me luck.
Happy 4th of July, I hope you are all having a fantastic summer!!!!
