Getting Ready

These are the fun days. I'm doing things, real things, to prepare for our littlest princess! Not just reading adoption books or scanning African hair blogs, I'm buying and packing and buying some more.



I'm usually pretty tight with our money. I don't know what happened to that former me but she's pretty much a distant memory. 

On the bright side, our girlie has a beautiful court dress. And many, many more dresses. 


I must have come to my senses because yesterday I found myself passing on $5 summer dresses at Old Navy. 

And all those shoes in the picture... most of them were worn by my other girls. It sure is hard to know what shoes are going to fit. Surely with 4 pairs of shoes and 4 pair of flip-flops, something should fit. Right?


Then there are gifts from the kids to their new sister. 

Gifts for our Ugandan friends and sponsored kids.

Clothes.

6 weeks of toiletries.

And it's rather embarrassing how many granola bars are hidden in those suitcases. So I won't count them.

Four more days in America!
