New Ali pics today!

I'd been asking our agency for a couple weeks if we'd get any recent pictures of Ali before it's time to go get her. I made her foster mom a big photo book on Snapfish with all th epictures we've gotten of Ali over the years, and I wanted to make sure it included the most recent photos if possible. So after asking several times IF there'd be new pics, I gave up and ordered the book yesterday. In my inbox this morning there was one from Snapfish saying "Your order has been processed blah blah blah" and the next email was from our agency with the subject line "Hello Mom and Dad" and was full of new pictures of Ali! How's that for timing?! I am still thrilled to have new pics of course, and I'll make her foster mom a thank you card with the newest pics.

Here she is. I cannot wait to play with that curly hair!

A Cupcake Moment

When left in the bathroom for a minute to wash her hands...

She is definitely our little stinker. If there is a mess to be made, she will make it huge. She'd really rather not keep her clothes or jammies on, ever. If anyone else in the house has anything, she MUST have it for herself and fast. If she is told not to do something, she will do it times 100 with such a look of satisfaction on her little face. And she can be so silly. For a kid who still speaks no words she gets her humor across with ease. Can't wait to see what she does when big sister Ali gets here!

May Day = J Day!

Happy Birthday, Jason! Cake for breakfast this morning since we are celebrating with friends tonight sans kids. It's a chocolate zuccini cake, so it wasn't a complete nutritional void to start the day.
