who want to see the cutest little thing ever??! this is Shiloh, jenn and filipes baby girl! she still lives in guatamala in an orphanage but should be coming home sometime around november...about the same time as her cousin Malak! this picture cracks me up everytime i see it...her hair is like 3 times the size of her precious little face!!

things that make you go hmmm...

i think this puts things into perspective...the things we think of as inconvenient and troublesome are really so insignificant...i only wish i knew what exactly to do about it. watch...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFZz6ICzpjI&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fheartinafrica%2Eblogspot%2Ecom%2Findex%2Ehtml

i realized that i need to show you all the clothes and things we have bought for Malak! (by the way that will be our sons name) yes, he will be a little rocker and the coolest kid around- my philosophy is that a few cute clothes can make any average child irresistable. (although this will be no averge kid!!) I know that we may have gone a little overboard with the buying of clothes, but this an accumulation over the last few months and this is just a reflection of the love and excitement we have in our hearts! speaking of- we are getting very close to being completley done with our paperwork! that is a huge deal in this adoption process, i cant wait for the time when we are just waiting to hear word and see pictures of our babe!
the little red and yellow shoes were mine when i was munchkin...aaaaw!
the picture of my wrist is a bracelet that eric suprised me with- it obviously says, "malak" and he made it for me in this cute little boutique when we were on vacation last week...sweetie pie.
i love that guy.
