Good News

I heard from our agency yesterday that they had received a referral for a 2 year old, healthy male. Woo Hoo! This is what we've been waiting for...news that healthy young children are being referred.

He is not ours of course but I know that whoever his parents are they are delighted beyond words!

Summer Update:
The girls and I just returned from visiting family and friends in MS. We caught a nasty stomach virus but are back to normal.
Lily started her summer school at our church...a MDO programs that meets twice a week at our church. She is having a great time! Mommy enjoys just being with Mia for those days.

It's funny how that second child always seems to get less attention. You don't mean for them to but for a whole 26 months it was just Lily and me...It's never been just Mia and me.

Don't worry I don't think she is any worse the wear for it. She functions quite fine...and quite loudly.

We are still hoping her speech improves before the Fall. She is talking much more than before the tubes but is still not where she needs to be for a 3 year old. Speaking of, Mia had her Princess birthday party! Our friends came over and we had ice cream cake and opened presents before Mia decided she wanted to go to bed (it was at night).

Garry and I leave for our yearly "together" trip on the 4th. We're so excited just to have time to relax and be together. Something I highly recommend to all couples, particularly if you have children!
We're going to the Dominican Republic. Never been...so we will see. We've been to Antigua and the British Virgin Islands. (Skip Antigua until they get the airport redone, LOVe Love the BVI)

School's Out!

Lillisms for the summer

Me: Lily Grace, this room better be clean by the time your daddy gets home or he will not be happy!
Lily: I don't want to clean my room! Mia made the mess! (probably true but no proof to back it up)
Me: well I'm sorry but it has to be cleaned.
Lily: why?!!!!
Me: because I said so!
Lily: well I say it doesn't have to be cleaned! there! ( with hands on hips) I said so!!
Me: I'm the mother and you are the child!
Lily: well, I still said so!



Lily: Momma are there roads in Heaven?
Me: yes I think so
Lily: are there cars?
Me: probably not, I don't think God likes pollution.
Lily: will there be McDonalds?
Me: uh no but the food there will be much better than McDonalds and better for you
Lily: (indignant) well what kind of place doesn't have a McDonalds?
