Ultimate Ladybug Siting!

I forgot to tell you about the ladybug siting at my baby shower! When my mom was decorating for the shower in the afternoon and she was putting flowers in the vases she found a ladybug in the flowers!!

Later that night when we were packing up, I went to put my camera back in my camera case (which was sitting there open all night) and as soon as I went to stick the camera in....this lady bug immediatly crawled out and up my arm! This little ladybug that was in the flowers earlier had found it's way to my camera case. I was stunned! We had spoken to our agency just hours before the shower and they had told us that we would receive our TA soon! And on Friday, we learned that travel would be in November! These ladybugs are CRAZY! I love it! More ladybugs please!

A little blurry...but here is our lucky ladybug...and some more pics!



The ladybug crawled all the way up my arm and onto my shoulder!


She received lots of new teddy bears at the shower! No worries of her bumping her head on anything in this room...it's well padded!

The 3 little bears waiting for Mei Lin to come home and join them at their tea party!




One of the most special gifts that we received was this little rocking chairs. It was given to me by my uncle and aunt. My mom had given them this chair when they had their first child. They now have 4 children and they have all used this little chair. The reason it is so special to me, is that this was "my" rocking chair when I was little. I was speechless when I saw it! This chair brings back fond memories ...like the time I wrote all over it with marker and my uncle told me that I was going to be in really big trouble (my uncle was about 10...I was probably 3)...but he proceeded to give me some really good advice and told me that peanut butter would surely take off all that marker! So out came the peanut butter and I covered the chair with it (I can still picture it). Just so you all know...peanut butter does not remove marker...it just gets you into bigger trouble!! Bad uncle...bad, bad uncle!

That's all for now...everyone say your TA prayers!
