What a sweetie!

How sweet is this!?!

With all the changes with Ethiopian adoption, Cory knew that we just needed a little excitement as far as baby E goes. There are a ton of things that I have bookmarked on my computer that's kind of a 'wish list' of things I'd like for baby E and/or our family. Well, Cory went online last week and ordered (which he never does unless it's for Cabala's) a few little things off my list for baby E and surprised me. I didn't even realize that he knew that I bookmarked them. Isn't that sweet?


I plan on using this material for the inside of baby E's Christmas stocking (like Allie's). I'm not sure if you can tell or not, but the shape on the material is an outline of Ethiopia. I think it will be perfect. Jen has agreed to help me out with beginning baby E's stocking. I figure that I can make most of it and then we can add the finishing touches and the name after we receive a referral.

This is the Christmas ornament that will be on our tree this year for baby E. The picture doesn't do it justice. It really is beautiful and it has a scripture from the bible on the back. Both of these items are fundraisers for adoptions so it's pretty neat to know that we're helping another couple out as well as getting pretty cool things!
