-November's Little Itty Bitty C's Support Member is my Aunt Sue (Uncle Kevin and Brian)!

Aunt Sue (i mean they...) put together this sweet sweet...sweet package for us! It's funny...the whole time I could not believe we were already getting another package...where has time gone? Ok...back to the package. The desk top calender (secretly been wanting one of these for years now!) was wrapped in the beautiful paper you see behind it...the calender was packaged along with one fantastic gift card to Starbucks...a "portion controlled" package of Nana Bits (um...seriously it's good the package is small...these are so yummy you can't stop eating them!) and an adorable stuffed bird ornament! This package couldn't have come at a better time...we love it all!

Thank you so much Aunt Sue (UK & Bri!)!!!!
xoxoxo!

-hopefully this is a GREAT month....wink...wink...

-Isn't this card beautiful? I love it! If our little one is a girl...this will be framed for room art!

-loving this sweet and simple nursery. my friend who was due on december 8th just had her baby on my sister's birthday (november 14th)....she had a precious little boy! it made me start to think more about our little one and the possibilities...wouldn't it be nice to get a surprise saying we were getting our little one sooner then what we thought. we are just so happy to know that our little one now has a friend who will be close to their age!

-we all love giveaways...and Grosgrain always gives us the best giveaways....but i thought this one was extra special...here's why...(via groisgrain's site)...Aunty Ollie came to exist after creator, Jodie Hampshire, adopted three beautiful children in 2007. You can imagine how much children’s bedding and clothing she and her husband had to buy! Most of what she found left her wanting: no to superheroes! No to clothes that made a child look like she was about to go clubbing. (amen to that!) Quickly she moved from bedding into clothing, as these beautiful prints were just begging to be used in children’s clothes! Friends started asking for clothes for their kids (and themselves!), and Aunty Ollie was born in 2009. here are some pieces from Aunty Ollie...

-love the idea of multiple pieces of artwork framed...there are so many amazing prints that i love on etsy. it will be hard to choose which ones NOT to buy.

- i also really love this wallpaper!

but i also love the idea of wall decals...easy to remove when they outgrown the design...

there is a long wall in the baby's room that we will have to address when we start decorating the room. i love the idea of putting something visual on this long wall but there are so many wonderful ideas...choices...

-I'M DONE!!

I finished my 8 hours of online Hague training!

It wasn't bad. I felt there were parts that we didn't need training on since we were so far into our adoption process. Some of the areas were about choosing the right country...obviously we have already done this. I have to admit that I was disappointed...South Korea was mentioned very little through out the whole training. There were parts through out the training that had videos of parents who had adopted. They were telling their experiences...and none of the parents had adopted from South Korea...most of them were from either Russia, China or Guatemala. The training did go pretty fast though. Ben still needs to finish his but he's close to being done (**update Ben has finished his!!). So this is our last step until our referral...

YEAH!!!
