To Backtrack A Little.......

On December 7th we finally got what we had been waiting for, our referral!!!!! We checked Madison out of school that afternoon and she was absolutely thrilled to see a picture of her sister after all this time. She had lots of people in mind already that she couldn't wait to share the news with. Number one being our dog, Scout, who you can tell by the expression could care less, although it is more food to get dropped on the floor for her so I am sure she'll be more excited once Zoey is here! Madison also couldn't wait to tell her skating instructor, Miss Claire. I didn't get a picture of the moment, but she was so excited she even came off the ice to hug me. Madison has been so involved in the whole process. When we didn't get our referral on the 6th of December, she was devistated. She cried so hard after school that day. We are so happy that she is excited about being a big sister. Of course, being used to being the only child, she doesn't I don't think, realize what a rude awakening she is in for. But I know that she will be a wonderful big sister! Just another quick shot of Zoey's room that has long been waiting for her, and this wonderful frame that finally we can put her picture in!
