GWCA Secret Pal Gift for November
I returned from our trip to England to find a gift from my GWCA secret pal for this month. It was the most precious ladybug tea set and a memory book called "The Chosen Child". The tea set is quite appropriate as Chloe is in to "tea-making" after our visit to her Nana's in England. I will have to hide this set until Emma Claire arrives and can share in the tea party fun with her big sister.

My logo was chosen!
I am so excited that my logo was chosen for our September DTC Yahoo! group. Wow! It is not the logo I had in my head and wanted to design, but it is cute none the less. If I ever can devise a good reason to spend several hundreds of dollars and get the full-fledged PhotoShop (and not my simplified PhotoShop Elements) then I can start producing some cool things. For now, I will settle on my PS Elements and our group logo that I designed using it.
Our DTC group is made up of people throughout the States, and many in other parts of the world, who sent their dossier to China in September. We selected our group name, The Red Threads of September, because of the Chinese Red Thread Legend which has become a motto for those who have and are adopting from China. It is very beautiful in meaning. The legend is scrolled around our group name like a thread in the logo. In case you cannot read the legend in the picture, I wrote it below.
"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break."

Thanks, Yahoo! SeptemberDTC Cyber Shower Pal
Last night was the SeptemberDTC Yahoo! groups cyber showering opening for October. We were supposed to go into a chat room, open our gifts we received from a pal we were matched with and share. Well, just as I was about to log into the chat room, Chloe started crying. I went to her room to find that she had rolled down the end of her new big-girl bed and fell (the only place she could roll out with the safety gates on). She was upset but ok. She wanted me to lay down with her so I did...and fell asleep. I woke up this morning to realize that I missed the entire cyber shower.
I opened my gift this morning to find a musical zoo that lights up and plays sounds and an animal book/teether. I also discovered that my secret pal was Beth & Eric H. So, many thanks for your great gifts!

IT'S OFFICIAL, WE'RE PAPER PREGNANT!!!
We received word yesterday that our dossier was logged into China on October 16, 2006. This is our official LID date and the date we will "track" to see our progress in this paper pregnancy.
Referrals just arrived as well. To give you an idea as to where the CCAA is at on referrals, they just sent referrals for dossiers logged through August 25, 2005.
