What a Great Week!

Look at me getting funky with my new blog header. And, yes, Tara, I was inspired by you, but your blog is still the coolest on the blog block.

I promised Christmas pics, so here they are in a nifty slide show. (Again - look at me learning to do new things!) My favs are Micah on the orange giraffe rocker his dad picked out, Micah riding his tonka truck from his Uncle Ryan and Micah wearing the blueberry hat my sister knitted for him. Cute!



Speaking of Christmas - can I tell you how amazing my husband is? Yes, yes I can. We weren't supposed to do gifts this year, but we both cheated (of course!). I got Kevin a last-minute-found-it-on-ebay-gift - Guitar Hero III for the Wii. He is playing right now- it's hilarious. I've been rocking out - perfecting "She Bangs the Drums" by the Stone Roses (takes me back to high school!), and Kevin has been perfecting a song by Poison. Awesome. :)

Anyway- on Christmas morning there was a little bag under the tree for me with a little box - I supposed it was jewelry, which of course would be very sweet, but I was wrong. It was a gift card for a SPA DAY! I don't know why, but I bawled when I realized what it was. He knows me so well - that was the PERFECT gift for this tired mama. I'm planning my massage for very soon and I'm going to save the rest for later. I LOVE the spa and he got the gift card from one of my favorite Aveda salons. I love him. :)

And, this has been such a great week in adoption blog land. I have seen so many referrals coming in lately - it is just wonderful. Congrats to the Gurskes and the Magers who received their referrals this week! I'm so happy for them and for all the other families who had Christmas surprises!
