Hope everyone had a great Holiday!

I'm back at work still in the Holiday glow and slowly starting to realize that I have 4.5 work days left...but who's counting? *wink*
My best Christmas gifts this year were homemade...a pair of earrings and a necklace made from seaglass (thanks Mom!) and this picture below (actually for Madison) of Madison, hand drawn by my step-daughter. Absolutely beautiful picture, she is so talented!

I already have my order in for Chayse! :)

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to my Babygirl! xoxo

Funny what you find when you start nesting!

With my laptop and backup Hard Drive being stolen last week I thought I had lost all my photos since Madison arrived in our lives. I was starting to rely heavily on friends and family to send me whatever they had. Well, with our upcoming travel to China the nesting mode has kicked in. During my cleaning I came across a memory stick and thought it would be great to bring with us so I could back up any photos I take while there. Thinking that it was full of old work stuff I uploaded it onto my new computer and to my wonderous surprise it was FULL of pictures...4GB worth!! I was a grinning idiot! LOL

How happy I was to see that I still had pictures of these special moments....

 Hopefully with my continued cleaning I will find more hidden treasures! :)

What a week!

I had my SUV broken into and my Laptop was stolen. I really hated the feeling of being violated and especially being so dependant on technology! How did we survive before? Needless to say I am feeling better and thankfully there was no damage to the vehicle...that's how good they were. I just have to look at my beautiful Daughter's picture and all is forgotten, a reminder of what is really important!

Just a few more weeks and we will be in Beijing, China!

...and then after a couple of days to climatize we will fly down to Nanning, Guangxi!

I received our Itinerary yesterday, I will post it soon. :)

Happy Friday!!
