redmaryjanes said...

Daleea made the header, isn't it cute?

Unknown said...

I love all of your headers!!

redmaryjanes said...

Daleea made this one for the shower. She really did a good job. I wish I could figure out how to do that stuff for myself. I'm clueless.

redmaryjanes said...

Are you coming to April's shower?

Unknown said...

I hope so but I worked last night and I go back again so I may not be able to stay awake!

redmaryjanes said...

Do you want me to e-mail the gift list to you?

redmaryjanes said...

Any cool baby names or stars at the hospital?

Unknown said...

tHAT WOULD BE AWESOME. The only odd one this week was Sincere!

redmaryjanes said...

Sincere, not the worst but quite different.
I'll e-mail it to you, I have 4 ladies to get it out to, so I'll get you all covered.

Kelly should be on her way to China!

Unknown said...

redmaryjanes said...

The boys are home from school, so they were living the good life.
I had a crazy busy week at work. I'm so glad that it's the weekend.
I've really been working to get the new blog up and holding its own.

redmaryjanes said...

I also have a new project to launch on this blog for July and another baby shower for Lucy Joy scheduled for July 19th.

Mr.Brian said...

Good morning to all the beautyful women out there.Just stopping in for my quick hello.
I've been watching over my shoulder, and scanning all mail waiting for Steff to get me back.So far I've been safe.

redmaryjanes said...

Good Morning Mr. Brian,
We just love to see you!
Have a great weekend!

redmaryjanes said...

Oh yes Mr. Brian, I can just imagine that she's got something planned for you : )

Unknown said...

HI. Mr Brian!
RMJ,

I love the new blog, its awesome!

LaLa said...

Good morning lovely ladies!!! The weather is perfect here (mid 80s) so we are enjoying the mild temps and my girl is already in a swimsuit so I guess that is what we are doing : )

Mr.Brian said...

Hope all of you have a great weekend. The weather is great here. We have Rise fest in town today with Mercy Me appearing. I am thinking of going.
Would be a great way to spend a summer day.
Be safe and have a fun weekend.
Off to breakfast and have my coffee now.
Hugs to all of you.
Mr.Brian

redmaryjanes said...

Good Morning Laura!
Any new news from Vietnam?

redmaryjanes said...

Have a great day Mr. Brian. I love Mercy Me.

Unknown said...

hi lala

redmaryjanes said...

The new blog is starting to do what I was hoping it would do. When people put in google searches for adoption info, No Place Like Home is starting to come up and people are coming for information. I know that one of the advocate blogs has been contacted for information about Russian adoption, so that is very exciting.

Tish said...

just wanted to pop in a say what a wonderful way to build community! blessings to you all...baby is up now, gotta run!

Unknown said...

tish,

hate to see you go, what a beautiful picture

Unknown said...

Dont forget to sign up for the post card exchange if you are interested!

redmaryjanes said...

Good Morning Tish!
Come by any Saturday!

redmaryjanes said...

Amy,
Which blog is the postcard swap on?

Unknown said...

all of them...theres a yahoo button on each side bar!

redmaryjanes said...

I haven't been able to find it. I guess I'm just slow. Let me go look again.
Hey, I read about your comment. Don't pay it any mind honey.
I am enjoying adopting.

redmaryjanes said...

I think I am signed up, it wanted me to download stuff.

Unknown said...

It shouldnt have

redmaryjanes said...

My husband is constantly upgrading our computers, so maybe I am missing something I need to make yahoo groups work.

Are we going to get a list of all of the families? Do I just send a postcard?

Unknown said...

YOu have to add your address to the database, thats all!!!

redmaryjanes said...

Boy, I think this is the quietest chat ever. I'm glad you are here. : )

redmaryjanes said...

OH, I never got that far. It wanted me download stuff. Hold on, let me get back in.

Unknown said...

what time is it at your house?

Unknown said...

Ya gotta do 2 things

1) join which you did

2) add your info the database

thats all

where the heck is everyone?

Jewels of My Heart said...

You can go and get some sleep.

Unknown said...

Dannye said...

we should be getting another update from our agency next week (hopefully), Snow (the head of our agency) always does a letter with our monthly newsletter, and I so need to see it this month...I am hoping it will say something about this wait...my heart is starting to hurt!! we just "celebrated" (yeah right like it was a celebration) our 23rd LID-versary, and with my 35th birthday on Tuesday (well let's just say I was hoping to be a mom before I was 35)....

April said...

Good Morning Dannye.

April said...

I am so sorry about the ever increasing wait.

Dannye said...

thank you april...not your fault at all (unless you are associated with the CCAA, lol)....

redmaryjanes said...

I'm so sorry Dannye. I know it is so hard.

redmaryjanes said...

Well ladies, I am showing that it is 10am and I have everything posted, so let's move up and chat under the shower post...and have some fun.

April said...

If I was associated with the CCAA there would be very few orphanages because all the children would be with their families. Seems like this new Hague is only making things even harder for families and is taking longer. I really hurt for families.

April said...

And the children.
