Then I was off to KC to take care of my very sweet little goddaughter Katie, while her parents went to NYC. She is 3 1/2, and is just a blessing to our family. D calls her the happiest baby on earth. She was the perfect child while I was there(much to her mother's chagrin-she keeps trying to tell me that she does cry, and misbehaves- I am not going to believe it!!) she was perfect for her Aunt J. We had a great time playing with her dolls, dressing up, having tea parties, going to her ballet class, and finally making some valentine cookies(pic included) It was 5 days of perfect girl fun, and I am so lucky to have such a wonderful little girl in my life.
While I know it hasn't even been a month yet that referrals arrived, it feels like fovever and ages ago that they did. I seem to be looking forward to this batch, I guess it is because Oct is such a big month that it would seem promising if they could get through a decent amount of days. Lets just keep our fingers crossed. I do hope that once we get the wait to 18 months that we will see the wait stabilize a bit instead of each month adding another month to the wait. In the mean time, I will work on my list, read some books, decorate a nursery, work on my new business, and hope that our referral will be sooner rather than later. But for now, I fed my little girl addiction, and I should be okay for at least a little while.

I'm glad you got to spend some time with Katie! It sounds like it was lots of fun for both of you.
Looking forward to hearing about more progress with the big white machine!
Katie sounds (and looks) like a doll. It's amazing how spending time with kids fills that hole for awhile. It shouldn't surprise me, but it still does every time.
those are great pictures.
And Katie is lucky to have such a fun Aunt Julie...tea parties, ballet class, valentine's cookies...Oh, I'm wanting some girl time, too! What sweet pics. Keep us posted on the BWM progress.
Just popped by to say hello from another CHIer!
