Batman Lives!!!

And he's come to stay at our house. We got this little costume for Erick, because Daddy is the "real" Batman...shhhhhh!!! Don't tell!!! We tried it on him tonight, and he looks so cute! He even let us put the face mask down over his eyes...not for long...but at least we got pictures.

A Family Resemblance, and Bathtime

I just have to show you something. I had prayed from the beginning of the whole foster/adopt process, that God would bring us a little one who looked like the Archer or I, or a good combination of both. Well, take a look at the Archer's baby picture, and the picture of Sir E.

Pretty amazing, isn't it?

Here are some pictures from a recent bath time, which Sir E now LOVES! His favorite thing is to splash the water everywhere, and drink the bath water!

A Haircut...Finally!

Parental Rights and a busy September

WOW! It's been awhile since I have posted here, but life has just been SO busy! After having about 4 very slow months with the business, September brought about nearly FIFTY orders just on the digital side of the business! Praise God!

We are excited to announce that the parental rights of Sir E's birth mom has been terminated. We are sad for her, but we know that she loves Erick, and she understands that he is now in a home where he will be well taken care of and loved too. We now have to wait 60 days to see if she will appeal the ruling. If she doesn't, the adoption finalization process will begin, and the adoption should be finalized in early 2009...like January or February. YAY!!!!!!!

Here are some recent pictures of the family, including Poppaw's birthday party, and a visit from the Queen's sister (my sister). I hope you enjoy.

My New Toy

I am so excited because we just got a new toy: a Canon CanoScan 8800f. I have spent the morning scanning photos that we have that are not digital photos. Now wouldn't these two have made a cute couple in high school??? The Archer says he would've totally "gone for me" in high school.

Sir E Gets All Wet!

Princess R had her birthday party at the end of August, and there was a little kiddie pool full of ducks there. Well, Sir E just HAD to get at those little duckies! He started out squatting down at the edge of the pool, and by the time it was all over, he was completely wet, and splashing away in the pool!!!

Who, What, Where, When, Why, How ETSY?

Some of you may have heard me talk about my Etsy shops. Well, here is a little promotional video that talks about Etsy. Thanks to Mrs. Kwitty for sharing this video. This should explain a LOT about why I created The Downtown Boutique. I hope that you will add this to your blog, and help spread the word about Etsy. Who knows, you might have an awesome Christmas season!
