We had a great fall weekend! Weather has been so gloomy and rainy but on Sunday afternoon we had a tiny bit of sunshine so we headed down to our local produce stand and picked out pumpkins. George slept through it all which was probably a good thing & Magnolia was happy to have us all to herself. Above she's on top of a haystack which she declared "she loved!"
On Saturday morning I made these pumpkin doughnuts...they were to die for. :)
We've been decorating for Halloween. Magnolia and I put glitter on some pumpkins. She did the small ones with LOTS of glitter. :) I also put the usual cats in the windows but made a bat chandelier this year.



Picking out pumpkins.After our pumpkin trip we went to the park. It was so cold!



Back to sewing, a whole lot of hanging around the house, and getting ready for Magnolia's 3rd birthday this week...love this time of year.

Great photos and what a fun time! Magnolia is queen of the haystack, isn't she! Can't wait to hear about your party plans! How can she be turning 3 already! Hope you have a great week!

Oh Lucy,

I am so sorry! I just saw/noticed that you left a comment on a previous post of mine (I have not been very good in updating my blog lately!!)....I apologize for the delay in answering your questions!
We are using Family Adoption Consultants in Macedonia, Ohio for our agency...they have been wonderful!! Their main office is located Michigan. They were the only agency in Ohio for S. Korea for NSN.
We should be receiving our referral between next month (Nov.) and January 2010. We finished all of our paperwork, the homestudy and all last November. So we are looking at 12-14 months from the time of completion to referral.
If you have any other questions, please just let me know. I would be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.
How exciting for you!! Again, sorry for the delay~
