No news about our LOA. Hoping to see it by August 20th or before. This week would be great, a lot of people have been getting them so maybe that is a good sign. Not that I believe in signs or anything, it is really just in Gods hands.

I have been super busy. I have been working a little more for some extra moolah and having the kids home makes me feel like I am forever feeding someone or cleaning something up. This week three of the kids are in camps so just Lily and Sellers are home and I have time to blog because those two just cleaned the whole downstairs for me in exchange for a trip to the Chinese Buffet. Seems like a fair swap to me!

We are just about done cleaning out Ellery's room. I am looking for a used crib to buy (cheap) or borrow. I am going to have someone make a few pieces of bedding and I am looking for an old vintage chest of drawers to paint turquoise and a rug. I know her room is going to be so cute, turquoise and pink!

My mom retired from the State last week and we had a super fun time celebrating with family. My parents siblings were all there and my mom's sister cracked us up with a funny roast! My mom got a late start working because she stayed home with us until we were in school, I know she is so excited about retirement. She already has made a big to do list, sorry dad ;) !

My friend Sharon has started a business and she has some super cute stuff. You can like her on Facebook
at Bloom Child Bloom. She has some adorable super hero  and Star Wars shirts for little boys and lots of cute things for girls!
