THANK YOU!!

Wow! Less than three weeks now! I was just catching up on your posts. Some helpful hints for a 6-year-old girl: Gymboree has the cutest girl clothes; Soft stuffed animals are popular, and Webkinz are really big right now; make sure you have lots of paper, tape, scissors and colored pencils; tell Grandma and Grandpa about the American Girl company; plan on making cut-out cookies a lot; hair conditioner AND detangler; have a cute ice-pack handy; and lots of books to read together. K loves dress-up clothes, M might enjoy that too.

It's great that you're taking so much time off! And congratulations on getting so much done. I finished up our home study update paperwork today... hopefully start in on the dossier next week.

Happy New Year!
