GAFE Bound!

I am so excited about GAFE this weekend. Not only to learn more about Guatemala, but to meet many of my cyber-friends finally after all this time!! Isn't it funny how we all feel so connected and that we "KNOW" each other even though we have never met in person? Adoption is and has been the most amazing experience of my life! I started out with the perception that I would find my daughter and ended up with not only the most perfect child for our family, but so many bonuses along the way!! The most exciting roller coaster ride of my life and one that is still providing thrills nearly every day!

What is also exciting about this weekend is being able to spend four days with Sophie~Bug and have some real Mommy and Sophia time. I feel as if she is always on the go in the car driving her big sister and brother around, yet she always smiles and giggles and has a good time. This weekend is just about her... to learn more about her beautiful birth country and experience time with other families who have been blessed just as we have. I look forward to sharing this with her even though she may not understand what is going on.

I can't post without a few pictures, so here is my little Bug with her new slide!! Notice her "frog mimi" that goes EVERYWHERE with her (I just ordered a spare on ebay this weekend for "just in case"):


She loves to have me sing "Wheels on the Bus" when she drives her new ship... er... bus




Wheee!!! (Doesn't she look thrilled?)


This one looks like she has some 'tude going on, but we were doing the "round and round" part to the Wheels on the Bus song!!


Oh... and we can't forget her new sandals that she picked out at our favorite store, Target!! Her first "toe" sandals with the little piece of leather that goes between her toes... I can't stand them on me, but she LOVES them. This girl is on her way to competition with Imelda Marcos, she has quite the collection and will change her shoes many times per day... off, on, off, on, off... you get the picture. Is she stylin or what? Look at her model them... maybe I should call an agency - LOL!




Also, I have been tagged by Lori for FIVE THINGS, but I will have to wait until I come back to town to post. Consider yourself tagged if you are reading this and I can't wait to read what others have to say about their five things!!

Can you believe it is the end of July?? Where did the summer go?? Two more weeks and it is back to school time for Morgan and Grant!!


As much as I hate to see summer end, the routine of the school year will be welcome. This summer social schedule for my two older ones is killing me!!

Love and FROG!

She's so stinkin' cute!!!!

I've been dying to get Gabriella a pair of sandals with the piece between the toes, but I'm afraid they'd hurt her and she can't really tell me that.

Have fun at GAFE!

What beautiful pics!! You won't believe this, but Gabriella has the exact same outfit. The sandals look adorable with it, so we may have to stop by Target today. Unfortunately, Gabriella is not as big a fan of shoes as Sophie is since she prefers to be barefoot. :) Have a wonderful time at GAFE!! I can't wait to hear all about it and see your pics!!
