Last time the "anonymous" poster decided to cross boundaries I decided to turn it into a positive. Many posters reminded this LOSER (probably a former home girlfriend) that blogs are often given to children as journals.

NO ONE in the adoption arena would ever say what was included in the comment received yesterday so I have chosen to delete for no other reason than it doesn't belong on my daughter's blog.

On behalf of all FAMILY BLOGS:

Windows created a "X" in the upper right hand corner of the window. If you do not like what has been written it is easier, faster, and appropriate to click the "X" as the comment section is for friends to support one another.

No. 55


Cupcake and Daddy started off the day together in the city for a walk at the condo and a visit to the ducks. When they got home she was still googling in her Daddy's eyes like I have never seen but she passed out until we had to leave.

Thanksgiving is the one holiday we usually do at our home but we skipped last year because we were packing. This year our cousins said they want to do it so we went to their home. Kim & Ray with daughter Samantha put on a great Thanksgiving Day for the family. It was so nice to relax!

Cupcake just loves Peaches who is Sami's bird and the guinea pig was another highlight. After running around like a nut, playing with the dogs, and knocking everything off one of the side tables. Cupcake and Sami decided...MORE so Sami came with us for the evening.

Did I mention relax? Well since we didn't have much to do I decided to give us something to do so I organized a After Thanksgiving Day Lunch @ 2. Who would have guessed our guests would be departing at 8:30ish. We had a blast!

For the first time the house was seemingly filled with laughter, high energy & babies. Four 2 year olds just changes the chemistry of the 25 people!!!

BLAH BLAH ...It was just the BEST THANKSGIVING for us, Cupcake's first, and THE TREE....I will continue about the TREE.

Also I am having mega issues posting pics any suggestions?

EDIT: What can I say except for THANK YOU for all of our friends in Bloggerland who are so TRUE BLUE. Many of you I have met, spoken to on the phone, and many who I wish I could email as you always leave the kindest thoughts but no return email address. To those of you waiting for your children is the only reason I continue to blog. I hope no matter what chat boards you read, or rumors that try to convince you that adopting an EE child is a probable problem...THIS IS NOT THE CASE as many of us are home HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN'T READ THE DELETED COMMENT IS THE POSTER DECIDED TO POST OUR DAUGHTER'S NAME. IN ERROR I REALIZED HER NAME WAS VISIBLE IN A PIC WHICH IS NOW DELETED. WE HAVE NEVER MENTIONED HER NAME AND WOULD APPRECIATE THE RESPECT WE HAVE GOTTEN FROM ALL OF OUR FRIENDS WHO HAVE ALWAYS & ONLY USED CUPCAKE AS HER ALIAS. THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT. WE ARE HOME HAPPILY EVER AFTER, MORE HAPPILY THAN WE COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. I WISH FOR ALL OF YOU WAITING TO GET HOME QUICKLY SO YOUR HAPPILY EVER AFTER MAY BEGIN!!! MOST IMPORTANTLY>>>>EIGHT MONTHS HOME Cupcake...LOVE YOU BUNCHES & BUNCHES!!!

EDIT: Instead of deleting ANONYMOUS comments I would like to comment regarding the concerns of our daugher being safe in her car seat. First & foremost...When I snap a picture of her I am not DRIVING and taking a photo. Thank you for thinking I am so talented but I AM NOT! Since we were in the car so long I removed her jacket at the prior stop and didn't realize it left so much room. After fixing her ponytail, putting on her shoes, I readjusted her belt too!

The previous photo on our way to the wedding, we were stuck in stand still traffic for many hours. When I turned to check her I noticed she wiggled out so I took a photo, climbed in the back to change her, and placed her properly in her seat. I do appreciate your concern as I have noticed many do not use the carseat correctly. However, even those of us who believe we try our hardest to make sure our children our safe, our little HOUDINIS' wiggle. I am taking the time to respond ONLY because I do believe CARSEAT safety is a great conversation. Thanks for your comments and fell free to speak up with a face and name as I do!

Surprise! We are back now that blogger is allowing me to post photos. There abre a few weeks of fun to catch on so I will start posting. This pic is from October 26 when Cupcake and I were on our to NY. We stayed with another family from our agency. One of our friends had a birthday party for Baby Nic who came home in May so we had a funfilled weekend! I iwll finish this post later
