There is a light dusting of yellow covering every outdoor surface ... a sure sign that spring is upon us! I can't believe we have reached the end of March! Where did the last 30 days go?? My mom and dad left this past Thursday after a lovely visit. They spoiled us rotten - taking care of the cooking, washing up, laundry, yard work, dog walking ... now our little holiday is over and it is a hard step back into reality! BUT they will be back again in October.
The love bug's room is close to completion! We repainted the baby's dresser (which was once my dresser) and updated the knobs. My parents bought us a crib when they were here and it is the loveliest thing I have ever seen. Mickey assembled the crib and we put on the bed skirt thingy ... perhaps next payday we will go get a mattress. Once we have the crib "dressed" and the pictures hung, we will post a video montage of the nursery! Gosh, I love that word ...Every time I pass his room, I have to go in for a look!
On the down side, there were two referrals for our agency two weeks ago - the first since December. Both families had been waiting about 22 months. If that proves to be true for us, we may not be matched with our baby until May of 2009 ... seems like a long time ... it really stinks ... but I keep telling myself that "Good things come to those who wait"! and wait, and wait .. let's hope that time continues to move quickly. We have lots to look forward to in April, a wedding, a visit from Mich, the Wilburn Spring Carnival ... I know what would help to take our minds off the wait - more visits!!! So c'mon down "y'all"!

Thanks for sharing the blog (you replied to my message on the boards). We are in the very early stages of this journey and I love to look at the blogs and see the different parts of adoption everyone is at. I wish you a lot of luck and look forward to following your story.
The room is adorable btw. Our dd has my old dresser (repainted with new knobs).
