The thing about glitter is if you get it on you, be prepared to have it on you forever. Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies.

A month from tomorrow

Have you ever waiting for something for so long that you began to believe it would never happen?  The last 8 years of my life have been just that, waiting followed by more waiting... waiting to become a mother.

I've been sitting on some pretty exciting news and I think it's time to introduce everyone to my daughter Aster Elisabeth Yun...
My husband and I started the process of adopting a child from China back in the fall of 2005.  We had no idea at that time it would be almost 5 years before we would meet our beautiful little girl, but in a month from tomorrow we will be boarding a plane to meet her and bring her home. 

Aster was born in Hubei province in central China, and is just over 9 months old right now.  We will be spending a week with her in Hubei and then another week in Beijing before we make the journey home.

Somethings in life are worth waiting for.

She is so so beautiful. She's a lucky little girl to be given such lovely parents - I'm so happy for your entire family and the happiness she will bring.

I'll be home in either late august or late October - hopefully we can schedule a playdate if you're not too busy settling in!
