Cincinnati and Chicago Oh My!

It was a very busy weekend! Friday I went to Cincinnati, Ohio with a friend, Stephanie, and her daughter, Maya, to pick up the new infant car seat and stroller I had bought on Ebay...gotta love Ebay! Yes, they could of shipped it but that wouldn't be much of a fun adventure now would it? :-) I love, love, love the new car seat. It's green with burgandy stripes. Now all we need is the baby! My sister says she's sending me a baby doll to practice with in the meantime.

We had a great time on our gypsy trip! Stephanie got to visit with a friend she'd never met face to face and we had fun wandering around downtown Cincinnati. We at at Bar Louie's right on the water. We ate meatball subs..yum! and bruschetta that was served in a HUGE martini glass.

The next day Tim and I drove to Chicago to visit with his Aunt Dee and Uncle Tony and had a great time without ever leaving their house! I could listen to Aunt Dee tell stories all day. She was making me laugh! Tim enjoyed talking about everything from fitness to finance with Uncle Tony. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner of chicken dumplings and cousin Mike joined us for dinner. Aunt Dee and Uncle Tony are both such beautiful people to the core and we are so excited to have moved so much closer to them now so we can see them more often.

Today was also a BIG day for our adoption. The staff at Adoption Support Center met this morning to review our file. Now we wait for a letter this week to let us know if our home study is completed and we are ready to have our bios created and advertised. Checking the mail is even more exciting this week! I've posted a link to the Adoption Support Center's website where our profile will be posted eventually. I know I'm checking everyday already! :-) Hope all is well with each of you!
