For Aunt Betsy

This is for you, from Rose!


Dear Aunt Betsy, I've been a busy girl lately...here are some of the things I've been doing.

Day at Children's Museum
I'm a turtle!

Como Zoo with my playgroup friends!
Reunion with my 2004 travel group friends!
Dog sitting Alex, the friendliest Rottweiler you will ever meet.
Having slushies on a hot summer day with my neighbor friends.




Day camp at the U of M Arboretum. Afterwards, mom and I explored the grounds.

Neat lady with dress made of peonies











Fishing for tadpoles








Table with lettuce growing out of it. House made of twigs in the background. The house has 4 rooms plus a center room. Way cool!









Tea party with Aunt Marion. I even baked cookies myself. You'll have to come for one some time too, ok?








I also take swim lessons, attend a book club once a week, do homework, and am becoming a pro on my Nintendo DS.

So, that's my summer so far, pretty fun for it being just the month of June! I have lot's planned for July too. I've asked my mom to try and be better about updating her blog so curious minds no longer have to be curious. Mom hasn't felt the best lately, she has a herniated disc in her back and has been getting treated for it. She is slowly getting better though.

Oh!! I almost forgot! I should be learning any day now who my baby sister will be!! My mom will be sure to let everyone know when we get "the call". They didn't take me seriously when I informed them I didn't want a baby sister, but rather a boy closer to my age so I'd have someone to play with. Maybe though, some day. You never know!

I am sorry we won't be coming to your house for 4th of July (Alex the doggy is here), but mom and dad promise that we will make a trip sometime soon to see you. I can't wait to meet Lulu and go swimming in your lake (and of course get to see you and Uncle Alvin!).

Ta ta for now! LOve you bUncheS Auntie Betsy!

I should know better

than to get my hopes up.

The cutoff of Logged-in-Dates (LID)
for this latest batch of matches is rumored to be 4/26/2006.

Our LID date?

4/27/2006

So we won't be getting a referral in June.

And yes, I am feeling broken hearted.

This wait is just plain cruel.
