I am grateful to have been able to cross one more thing off of my huge "to do" list today. Amy and I went shopping in order to buy "gifts" for the orphanage director, nannies, notaries, and other people that we will run into while completing adoption paperwork. It was a huge relief to complete this task - I surely didn't want to buy anything cheesy but didn't want to spend a ton of money! One thing I didn't realize was how many things are made in China!!! The biggest challenge of the day was to find items that were NOT made in China - try it next time you go shopping!!! The only "gift" that I have left to buy is one for the foster family. What do you buy for people who have taken such great care of your daughter for the first year of her life?! We are also praying that God allows us to meet them - if it will be beneficial for Danielle when she gets older.
Last night we took Stephanie and Elizabeth trick-or-treating...well actually, we took them trunk-or-treating at a church down the road. It was great - people decorate their cars and pass out candy to lots of little kids! They even had a festival in the gym with lots of games, crafts and moon walks. The girls had a great time and we all enjoyed the candy!! Although, this morning, Stephanie asked if we could go "real trick or treating"...she said that she wanted to go to people's houses instead of the church party. So much for being grateful!! We are all looking forward to next Halloween, when Danielle will be with us!!
