Welcome

Welcome to my blog. This is a journal of things in my life during the adoption process. If you want to start at the beginning you need to read backwards. What this means is go to the archives (January 2006) and read through to current time. I enjoy reading your comments, so please post your thoughts for me to read. Colette

Halloween Party With The Play-Group








Today we went to the library for story time then to Melissa's house for our Halloween party. The girls did a fun craft, played while they listened to spooky music and we had lunch. Don't they all look so cute in their costumes?

8 Months Ago....

8 months ago today our lives changed for the better. Someone placed in our arms the most wide-eyed beautiful baby girl. We had prayed and hoped for this day to come. Bob & I got the daughter we were yearning for and Megan got the little sister she always wanted.

I can’t believe we have had Olivia in our lives for 8 months. It seems more like 6 months. Time has sure gone by fast.

Olivia is a true joy. She is so curious about everything. She is saying lots of words. Still only one word at a time but she will try and repeat you if she can. There are certain words that she stays away from (S, G, C,). She knows a lot of her body parts and animal noises. We got a dog 2 weeks ago and since then she has learned the word "no".

She weighs 22 pounds and is 31 inches. She is in the 28% of her age group. She is wearing 18 months old. Happy Anniversary Olivia, my sweet girl.

I love you, Mommy

Pumpkin Patch







Sunday we all went to a pumkin patch here in Tulsa. Olivia stayed her distance from the animals. She just wasn't quite sure what to think.

Playing With Friends!






Olivia & I went to lunch at a gals house. Olivia had so much fun playing with everyone and Mommy enjoyed visiting with the other mom's.

I found this and had to share it with you all.

“…When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one to dry your tears,
We could hold you for a million years,
To make you feel our love.
We know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But we would never do you wrong.
We’ve known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in our minds where you belong…
There’s nothing that we wouldn't do,
Go to the ends of the earth for you,
Make you happy, make your dreams come true!
To make you feel our love.”

-Garth Brooks
