Derby Girl!
This news is close to my heart. We are STILL trudging through paperwork . (DH is dragging his feet because he's such a procrastinator).

Congratulations! I want to know all about your trip!

I know you must be bouncing off the walls in anticipation! By the way I LOVE Miranda Grace. I dont know if I told you this or not but if my son Logan Thomas would have been a girl then the name would be Miranda too! Grace is a current favorite middle name of mine , so I cant say enough about that name!

Motherhood is the best. Take tons of pictures as they grow up too fast and you will look back at the pictures in amazement!
God Bless!

Hearing of adoptions always makes me teary-eyed. What a wonderful way to spread your love.

I also am partial to the middle name Grace. I always wanted a daughter named Holly Grace, but it doesn't fit at ALL with my last name!

Thank you all!!
I have been on cloud 9 all week. So much to do to get ready, actually most of it is done. We are hoping to travel Jan 9th!! I have been going to the "Sales" on baby clothes this week finding some really nice bargains. Plus finishing up my Christmas shopping...
It was a long 13 months wait, but it is worth it to have this feeling that you are getting a baby!!

I will keep you updated,
Derby

gonzo...it's the "Holly" part that doesn't fit...with our last name, it sounds like either a stripper or a porn star!
