Quick Thanks!

My creation

Even though I am posting less, I want to take time to be thankful. Today I am thankful

~that the killer migraine that rendered me utterly useless yesterday is gone!

~that Kate had a great check-up. She is 50% in weight (25.6 lbs) and 90% in length (33.5 inches).

~that Kate says "I love you" freely now (see below). I feel as though the boys were born loving me but with Kate I had to earn it. It is a great feeling.

~that Will had the confidence to audition for his school play. After his audition, we went out for hot chocolate and went in one of those photo booths and made silly faces for the pictures. It was special Mom and Will time. He has the photos on his bulletin board. Those booths are not flattering to women of a certain age!

~ to Michelle, Denise and Kimberley who all nominated me for blogging awards yesterday. Because I was so sick, I have not had a chance to post about it. But I was honored, touched and humbled. Thank you.

~ Sweet Marina got her referral for her beautiful daughter this week. You must pop over and see her gorgeous Sarah. Congratulations!

~this one is shallow, I know ...but Spring clothes are arriving in the stores and therefore they are arriving at our house too. I don't know how that happens but it does. Check out the adorable shirt in the photo above from the G*P. I love it! Spring and summer clothes are my favorite for Kate Emerson.

    Sounds like you have MANY things to be thankful for and don't worry that thinking about spring clothes is one of them. Bring on some retail therapy!!!

    Sorry about your migraine. Glad you're better now.

    Hugs,
    Lisa

    Kimberly, Kate is the exact size of Olivia. Can you tell me what size she's in? I leave in 15 days.

    That is totally funny because I just posted on my blog that I was in G*P on TUesday and was commenting on the cute spring stuff. In fact I almost bought the shirt Kate is wearing. I too love spring and summer stuff on Mia. It is just so fun and cute and no sweaters to cover up the cute clothes. I am trying to resist buying for a few weeks but then I think that if I dont buy now then her size wont be there in a few weeks-- the true thought process of an addict :)

    I cant belive Kate is so high on the charts. She does not look that big in her pictures. She is just precious and I cant belive she is 50%ile in weight and 90% ile in height. She is like my boys- always in the 95%ile and above. That is awesome. Now maybe you can educate me on how to make Mia grow. Poor girl is still only 17 pounds (we were at the doc on Tues) and is 29.5 inches. At least her height is on the charts (between 25 and 50%ile) but her weight isnt even close to being on the charts. It makes me worry. Nice to not have to worry about Kate plus then there is a whole lot of clothes that become available to her since she is not in the little tiny sizes.

    GLad your migrain is gone. I agree with Sheri-- I want to see those pics of you and will!!

    Christy :)

    I can't believe Kate is so big! My "peanuts" are usually single digit girls. We'll see where they're at at their four-year check up.

    I'm glad your migraine is gone. Have you tried accupuncture? Eliminated migraines for a good friend.

    I'll have to go peek at gap.com. Spring feels a LONG way off here but that shouldn't stop me, should it?

    lovely list. wow Caitlyn and Kate are right at the same size!
    I always look at Kate and think she is smaller than Caitlyn... Pics are deceiving at times...
    I love you list right down to Spring clothes, I am very thankful that Spring is on the horizon. It did bring a smile to my face though :)
    I am so glad your head feels better!
    love the photo!

    Glad your migraine is gone, I had one earlier this week, no fun! I too am loving the spring clothes, I came home tonight to find my order of new tote for me and spring jacket for Hubby. So sweet Miss Kate said I love you...you must be ecstatic.

    I feel for you with the migraine. I get them on occasion. They're awful! I'm glad you're feeling better!

    Those photo booths aren't flattering to women of any age!

    Good luck to Will with the school play!

    Your family is precious! I'm just being nosy...about Kate's kitchen, where did you find it? It's really cute. And...your pearl necklace with the monogrammed pendant, I love it. I need to start hinting to my children about Mother's Day! Thanks so much for sharing on your blog. You are such a lovely role model for us.

    Thank you for including Sarah in your Thankful Thursday post! Thank you for your blog - you'll never know how much it has helped me and continues to help through the adoption process. It's given me hope to carry on when I wanted to quit, or to believe that it's possible to love an adopted child after having bio ones. I hope you carry on!
