Ok, I will send out a book. Yes, I have an 8x8 scrapbook where I am keeping all of her wishes with a small piece of cloth so she can use it as a reference when she is older. It's getting pretty fat!

Good morning!
Lovely day for a Cyber Shower! (the weather doesn't have to cooperate at all!)
I will be mailing out my gift to Verna on Monday - I told her I'm just doing a gift card...gifts take me WAY too long to send. (just ask Elizabeth...hers took months!)
Verna, I love you sooo much. I can't believe you are going to China again and I WON'T be with you this time. (sniff)
I value our bond sooo much. You are a wonderful friend and a beautiful mom...can't wait to see sweet Noah in your arms where he belongs.
Enjoy your shower!
XOXO
Nikki,
I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for dropping by the shower. You are a great friend.
Good morning ladies......I just LOVE these showers.....they make me feel the love! lol
Verna....hope you have a fun day....our package will be going out next week!
It's Mufasa's B-day today....so it is already crazy around here! Both Things are so happy when daddy doesn't have to go to work!
I'll check back when I can!
Smooches to all!
S*
Hi there Stef! Happy Birthday to little Daniel!!
OK, Kimberley.....I'm going to leave your last silly comment due to the fact that you probably have not had enough coffee. Read mine and read yours again and think about it! lol
GOod morning everyone!
We are having a wonderful fall day here in Atlanta..
Congrats Verna!
OH man, Give Mufasa a big smoochie for me! Oops, yeah that was a brainfart right there. Daniel's birthday wasn't too long ago.
Hi there Amy!
Welcome to the shower, did anything fun happen at work last night?
I was cracking up...... ;)
do you have a busy day?
Hi Amy....
Im working the next 5 days. I was at our First Friday China adoption support group last night.. Lots of China babies!!!
Stef,
Today is pretty mellow. I have the shower and I have to bake and deliver some cookies to a family from church who had a death in their family. I'm getting some quilt squares out and that's about it. Are you guys going out to dinner tonight?
Im so ready to get back into exchanging squares..have fun with that
I love seeing little ones from China, it keeps my spirits up.
It definitely did as well. Next month, Amy from Love without Boundaries will be flying in to speak to the group..Im very excited about that
well we, I mean David is working on Emmie's new room. We are in total remodel mode.....but yes, David and I and maybe Em are going to go out tonight. We went out last night with the older kids for dinner.
I'm still in my PJ's....probably will be all day. lol
I'm still in my PJ's too. We went out last night to Flat River Grill. It was great, just the two of us which RARELY happens.
Wow! Is she the founder of Love Without Boundaries? I would love to hear her speak.
sounds like everyone has been busy. We went to Fudruckers last night
Good morning Ladies. We are getting a late start here. Wow that's a lot of comments!
Good Morning Verna!! Everyone is here for you and Noah. : )
hey girl....I wondered when the guest of honor was going to make her appearance! lol
yeah for Verna
Good morning everyone! I'm so happy for you Verna! :) Your little Noah is adorable! :) I hope you all have a great day. I have the boys all day today so its going to be a busy one!!
(Stef--tell the Hubs HAPPY BIRTHDAY!)
I must say that your shower is having a lot of visitors!!
and Kim...I love the Flat River Grill!
that really is precious squishy baby!!
Thank you all for the wonderful comments. I am going to bawl now. My sister came yesterday to spend some time and chat (she live 2 hrs away). I'm just not sure about leaving Mya for 2 weeks. Hope it is when Erin has a break. You are all so kind. Wish I could give you each a GREAT BIG HUG!!
I will Amy......how are you and Tyler? Could we be hearing some sort of announcement this Christmas? ;)
Good Morning Amy!
Have a great one. It's beautiful out there. Crisp but sunny.
you are awesome and we are just sooo excited for you
I'm worrying about leaving Eli when we go too.
Don't worry Verna....Mya will be fine. It will all work out....you know that! ;)
All I can say Stef is....I HOPE SO! I'm not going to count on it because...well I don't know! Mufasa needs to get out the stick and tell Tyler he better get on the ball! haha But don't worry, you guys will be top on the list to find out. and you guys will definitly be a part of the big day!:)
I have loved reading all of your blogs and getting to know you all. What a fun group this is@
Stef, wish Mufasa a Happy BD! November is a great month for a BD - mine is in a couple days.
Good Morning everyone. Just saying hi and Congratulations Verna and family! Noah is darling. A package will be arriving at your door this week from us for the little guy. :) Gail in WI
Amy,
Hmmm...He is a very handsome man, your Tyler. I remember waiting for Tim to pop the question. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)
Thank you! It's been a long journey....I'll have to share the story with you some time! :)
I love your blog too Amy with your Monday Meditations. I always make sure that I stop by.
Eli just spilled Tim's entire mug of coffee on the cream carpet.
Good Morning Gail,
Welcome to the baby shower!
Oh Amy, I was wondering your status with Tyler--so your saying a possible Chrismas engagement??? Wonder if RMJ does cyber wedding showers??? That is SO exciting. You are a really cute couple.
Hmmm...I never have had anyone get engaged. I'm up for anything, you know me! I love a good party.
Oh thank you guys! :) But lets not get off the topic of this special day! It is for you Verna!! :)
OOOOO . . coffee on the carpet . . been there.
Yeah, and I just got the carpets cleaned a couple of weeks ago. It always goes that way.
I just read all the comments on my blog and have to say I will be printing them out along with this page. I want Noah to know how excited people are for his arrival.
BTW--RQ posted that referrals are arriving. SO we'll all be going over there to get our fix of baby pix. ;)
Thanks RMJ, I've never been to a cyber shower before. You are so thoughtful to do this for Verna. Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend. Today is dh's and my 18th wedding anniversary and we are going out to dinner(without Grace) to celebrate. That doesn't happen much around here...going somewhere childless. It should be fun.
OMW -- Gwen and the Shocks are leaving today. Lord watch over them. I can feel the adrenaline rising in my veins.
Gail,
Congratulations on your 18 year Anniversary! That is just wonderful. I love these showers, it really brings everyone together and gives us something to celebrate.
I thought that Gwen was leaving tomorrow on the 4th.
RMJ- You are right it IS tomorrow. I can't even read properly.
Gail - congrats on your anniversary. An evening out without kids is ALWAYS nice. It is what I request the most for a gift.
Gail, thank you for the quilt squares, I just wrote yours out this morning.
what a wonderful day..Im not sure if you guys know Donna from
www.myshelbybaby.blogspot.com but they are in CHina and getting Shelby in just a few days
You are very welcome RMJ, I'm hoping to get the quilt started maybe after Christmas.
I so love it when the new referral pics start coming in,it's my favorite time and it helps me so much with this wait.
I don't know Donna, but I'm really excited that so many people I know here in blogland are going to get their children.
I have some fabric here that I could send out. If you are doing a 100 good wishes quilt, email me and I will send a swatch.
blogfairytemplates@yahoo.com is my less busy email
Hope you will all post pictures of the quilts when they are finished. My mom is still working on Noah's quilt. We are switching some colors to make it more "boyish".
Verna,
I would love to get a quilt square from you. Are you all set with Noah's quilt or would you like one from us?
I keep looking at Noahs face..He is just beautiful
I'm back...checking in....the Things are in full force today.....Thing 1 is currently watching Mermaid and Thing 2 is watching Teletubbies, Thing Teen went back to bed.....and I am cleaning inbetween Thing demands! ;) Just put away the halloween decorations and got out my Turkeys for the turkey's! ;)
Our quilt is not a 100 good wishes quilt as I am not a quilter. My mom and sisters do the quilting. Noah's quilt is a regular quilt made by my mom. Mom has made quilts for all the grandkids and also for their weddings. Since mom is 72 now, we cherish those quilts.
Noah is just darling. I'm addicted to his cheeks too! I saw the quilt on your blog Verna, it is really nice.
Turkey's for the turkey's. I like that.:) Have to put my Halloween stuff away too today.
You all know I just can't wait to get my hands on our beautiful boy. We are all pretty excited here. My son's GF was showing everyone his picture. She is such a great gal.
Stef-you will be posting pix of those turkeys with the turkey decorations, won't you?
sounds like it will be a wonderful treasure
I've got to get our Halloween stuff down too.
Yeah....if I can! ;)
I do like this time of year.....I'm excited for Christmas this year.
I'm excited for Christmas too...Grace and I listened to Christmas music in the car yesterday. I know it's a bit early, but we just love the music.
I opened up the Christmas card exchange yesterday..Let me know if you are interested or just stop by the blog and click on the Christmas Card yahoo group
Yeah for Christmas
Amy,
I'll sign up for the card exchange!
Just got caught up on all of the little "conversations"...you girls are just too cute.
Verna, glad you are enjoying your special day!
RMJ, hope the stain comes out of your carpet. (you should see our fairly new couch. OUCH!)
Amy, hope you get a proposal soon...I remember waiting too!
Stef, you just crack me up. You and your turkeys! Give your hubs a birthday squeeze from us!
I'm excited for Christmas this year too! :) I LOVE the holidays! If you are a Michigandar...calling for snow next weekend! eeeeekkkk!
Hi there Nikki girl!
Hey ladies, I just got a "poke" on my facebook. If any of you are familiar with facebook, you will know they have all kinds of ways to recognize folks. I was thinking that maybe I would "invent" a kiss block to post for folks who need a "lift" on a bad day.
I'm thinking Christmas already too. I've got some stocking stuffers. Target had some mini slinkies for $1 and DVD of old TV shows also for $1.
Keith's mom is talking about hosting Thanksgiving for the first time in 10 yrs. They leave for Arizona in early Dec. Not sure what got in to her this year.
I have almost half of our Christmas shopping done. I've been getting some really great deals!
ok, you are way on top of things! I haven't even began to think of presents for people....oh man! I have to get on that! ;)
Verna- I have facebook and that whole "poke" thing is crazy! I still don't really understand it. But the kiss idea...love it! :)
Ladies, I keep thinking I am going to be in China over Christmas. I have got to get going. HOPING Keith gets a laptop for me :-) If not, I will have to borrow one. I simply can not be without a computer. That is like a cocaine addict without a fix. ;)
I do a stocking for hubby each year. I love doing it. Im sure I enjoy it more than he does
Verna,
You'd better bring a computer to China! I need to see little Noah!
what a wonderful Christmas that will be
I think I like the stockings most too. Those little silly gifts are just so fun. I love getting things like yo-yos and the slinkies and whatever I can find.
I think it might be good to go to a filled stocking and cash in an envelope for my big kids. I am banned from buying clothes for them. However, the towels and kitchen items were a hit with Joe's GF last year.
Carrie wants new tires for their car. Hmmmm . . . married life has changed her list a bit ;)
This is fun..You ladies make me smile
Yeah, it is fun. I like everyone.
Ladies,
its almost nap time so I need to get going..Verna, congrats my friend, your son is beautiful.
Stay safe and blessed and I cant wait to read more!
Okay i had to post again so I would be the 100 comment..
Hugs to all!
have a good one
amy
Oh you'd BETTER have a computer with you!
Thanks for dropping by Amy.
Thanks for dropping by Amy.
I agree, Verna I hope you have a computer with you in China. We have to follow your journey.
Thanks to all for dropping by.
RMJ--is there a time setting on the shower?
I'm working on a blog for Shannon over at Here we grow Again
www.herewegrowagain.blogspot.com
Go ahead and get whatever you need done finished. I just check in from time to time to see how everyone is doing. We don't need to always be here, I just set aside the time this morning. I'll probable start making a batch of cookies at noon.
I'll make sure that everyone who rsvp's gets your information. It's just like an open house.
Ok its nap time here and all I have to say is Thank GOD! I'm gonna go try to get some studying done while the boys are sleeping...
Hello All!
Did I miss the fun?
Hubby and I took advantage of the fact we did not have ANYTHING to do today and stayed in bed until well after 10:00am.
We then took the crew to lunch.
Verna - I love the name you chose for Noah. He is so cute. Keep safe as you trave.
Amy - would love to join the Christmas card list.
RMJ - I will need you to send me Verna's address so I can send out her gift this week.
Hi there Nancy! I'll get her address right over!
Hello everyone! I just wanted to quickly drop by and send Verna and her family love and best wishes. Have a wonderful journey and CONGRATULATIONS!! Noah is such a cutie pie!
We are experiencing a dangerous storm here in Nova Scotia today so I will check in again later if I still have power.
Take care and travel safe Verna!
Smiles for everyone!! :o)
Nikki
It's noon in California, I'm just logging in to see what's going on -- looks like a great turnout.
Congrats to Noah on a wonderful Forever Family, and safe travels to you all!
Love,
Bennett (China 2007) and his Family!

Hi everyone...inlaws in town so no time to chat...we are busy visiting and drinking wine.

OK, CRAZY DAY AS I PREPARE FOR MY FLIGHT TO CHINA TOMORROW ... VERNA, I JUST LOVE YOU TO PIECES ... I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE NOAH JAMES HOME AND WITH YOUR PRECIOUS FAMILY !!! I HAVE A GIFT CARD FOR YOU ...
Wow!! I was just looking over all the wonderful comments again and notice a whole bunch from later in the day. I spent my evening working and didn't check back til now. Thanks to each and every one of you. I will post pictures of the gifts as they arrive. You are all so wonderful. I appreciate your generousity and kind words. Stay tuned as our "Family Grows".
Sorry I missed the shower, but I will check out Noah's Target registry.
Oh yes - it's me, the delinquent one - we were gone most of the day today and then, when we got home, we realized Chloe was dealing with a temp - no wonder she was SO crabby - I am so sorry to miss this, Verna - but you know I am with you all in spirit!! Our thoughts and prayers are with that cute little guy as he waits for his Mommy and Daddy!!
