Pictures of the Nursery
We finally finished the nursery. Last week my special project was to paint Maddie's room. It took just a couple of days then I tried my hand at some stenciling/tracing to add a few accents (butterflies & flowers). This past weekend Andy re-assembled the crib and we moved everything back into the room and hung some pictures and her name over her crib. After that the only thing left to do was make some curtains, so earlier this week I got out my sewing machine and what you see is the finished product of Maddies room! We still have just a few accent items to add and some coordinating bedding to get for the double bed we are keeping in there and it will be complete.
Kathleen now has her own adoption blog (thanks to me!) I have added a direct link to it off to the left. She was lucky enough to get some very recent pictures of Maggie last week. They are working on getting some recent ones of Madison for us.

Happy Tet! (Lunar New Year)
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. 2008 is the year of the rat. I had fun doing a bit of research on Chinese Astrology and found out that last year 2007, the year Madison & Maggie were born was the year of the golden fire pig. Here is some information I found out about it. Those born in the pig year are said to be easy-going, loyal and lucky. What's more, this is supposedly the year of the Golden Pig, which comes around only once every 60 years, and which Chinese astrologers say is twice blessed, giving an even better chance of wealth, happiness and longevity. Now that we know Maddie & Maggie are under the sign of the pig, I thought I would see what the rest of us were.........Andy and I were born under the sign of the Monkey, Brednan was born under the sign of the Dragon, and Dylan was born under the sign of the Snake.
