The Wait

Making and flooring an attic so we have a room for a nursery (formerly the everything room)

Meeting with other familes who have or are in process of adopting from China.  Reading up on China and adoption.  We have even tried to learn some mandarin- that is not going so well :-(

Crafting and fundraising

Prepare Cassie's nursery.  It is a Raggedy Ann and Andy theme, we are using the dolls that Angela's mother made when she was little.  We also refinished a dresser that has been in Angela's family for 3 generations and will rock Cassie in the rocker Sean's grandparents used.   We are currenty working on completeing the bedding.

Shopping of course

Making the yard pretty for Cassies homecoming.  Sean has been working very hard on the landscaping and we are also currently working on a pond.

Cleaning and babyproofing.

Checking email constantly for any glimmer of referral rumors

All the little projects we will not have time for once Cassie is home

Redoing our webpage since the server sold and we can not update the old one

And packing of course!!!!
