September 2006 Families out of Review!!!

Congratulations to all the September 2006 families who are now out of review!!! you guys made it.. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!!

That only means we are next!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... yupi!!!! We are still in review so I figure by January we'll be celebrating our graduation to the "Waiting For Referral" room... What a great way to receive the New Year!!! with hope and patience to know our Madison is getting closer to our arms......

Thank you to our Xmas Cybershower buddies...

To Pam and Jeff Campbell, thank you for our beautiful gifts! We loved everything specially the measuring table for the baby where you could point her height as she grows and the best part that you could put a picture of her at that height! awesome! we've never since it before. And thank you for our ladybug, Bellagio had a moment there but we quickly put it away and said "NO" "Not for you" "this one is for Madison" and he just turned his face and laid down, good boy!.. anyway.... I keep going, thank you also for the book, will read it with hubby tonight I promise and also for the bibs, one can not have too many of those. And of course "my" keychain, we quickly drew scissors papers for this one and yes.... I won!!! and the puzzle box... love it! Thank you again and we wish you a wonderful Holiday Season as well...We love Julia too....

HAPPY THANKSGIVINGS DAY!!!

Hope everyone else had a great one too.... and yes!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL.....

Heidy and Joey

We are finally in review!!!

Recibimos el email "Places Everyone" que es "En que lugar estamos" y de acuerdo a este email ahora estamos en el departamento de "Revisiones" ("Review") donde revisas cada documento que hemos enviado en nuestro "dossier"... Es un paso mas que nos acerca a nuestra Madison y un paso menos de espera... Esperemos que para Diciembre ya estemos oficialmente en el departamento de "Referimientos" ("Referrals") donde toman nuestros documentos y buscan a nuestra nina Madison.. Quizas sea el paso mas dificil porque cuando se esta en este nivel no se sabe absolutamente nada hasta el dia que nos llamen a decirnos que nos han encontrado a nuestra bebe.... y la espera se hace mas larga... pero no importa porque sabemos que este ultimo paso nos llevara a nuestra Madison.... Yupi!!!!

We received our "Places Everyone" and according to this latest email we are now in the "REVIEW" room which means our dossier (or adoption documents) are being reviewed by the CCAA officials.... Just one more milestone for us! hopefully they will be done in December and we'll officially be in the "REFERRAL" and final stage. Probably the hardest stage since nothing absolutely nothing happens in between just a very long wait.... but it's ok... we don't mind because we know this is it... Madison will be coming home soon.... YUPI!!!

Happy Halloween!!

Steve and Alex, Joey and I, Justin and Jeannette (Pregnant nun!!!), Lizette and Javi...

Nuestros amigos Lisa y Brian, fue cumpleanos de Brian el mismo dia y le cantamos su Happy Birthday en Ingles y Espanol... el facinado y feliz...
Our friends Lisa and Brian, it was also Brian's bday and we all gave him a little surprise... we all sang to him....in English and Spanish!!! You deserved it Brian, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Aqui estamos con Carmen, nuestra "hija de practica", pasamos mucho tiempo con ella y su hermanita Suzie. Son muy especiales para nosotros y las queremos muchisimo. Nos han prometido cuidar a Madison gratis!!!! pero les hare firmar un papel por si acaso se olviden cuando llegue Madison.. jijij.
Here we are with Carmen, our little "practice daughter"...! we spend a lot of time together with her and her sister Suzie our other "practice daughter. They have promised to babysit Madison for FREE!!! But I will get it in writing...

No es que necesitaramos alguna otra razon para celebrar ya que celebrando nuestro LIDversario hubiera sido suficiente pero nunca cae mal reunirse con los amigos para celebrar con mas ganas no?... Este ano nos portamos muy bien por haber sido nuestra primera fiesta de Halloween y se aprende mucho por eso no garantisamos los mismos resultados para el proximo ano...jajajaja... Disfruten las fotos:

Not that we needed another excuse to celebrate since the LIDversary should have been enough, we threw a Halloween Party to get together with friends and family.... This year we behaved so the pictures are all g-rated.... But now that we got more trinkets than ever we can't guarantee we'll behave as good next year.... Enjoy...

Happy LIDversary, October 26, 2007 to us!!!!

Increiblemente llego el ano!!! un ano de espera pero no el final.... Realmente si contamos los meses de tramites desde el 12 de Mayo de 2006 que fue que dimos el primer paso es 1 ano y 5 meses.... ufff y todavia nos faltan quizas otro ano mas. Tratando aqui de que no nos desmoronemos de los nervios, las ansias y la pena de no poder tener a nuestra angelito en nuestros brazos seguimos llenando nuestros pensamientos y preocupaciones en esta pagina web... Asi que disfruten y cuentenos que les parece hasta ahora... alguna pregunta??? Nuestros amigo Lisa y Brian celebraron su LIDversario el 19 de Octubre asi que hicimos un pequeno intercambio de regalos y aqui estan las fotos del trajecito de "ladybugs" y un juego de te de porcelana, Mili??? te acuerdas??? tambien con el motivo de "ladybugs" realmente una preciosura. Gracias Lisa y Brian!!!

Incredible, it's been a year of wait but not the end... In reality if we count the months previously to our LID,we started our paperwork the week of May 12, 2006 1 year and 5 months ago! and we'll probably have to wait another year or so. So trying to not to fall apart with nerves, anxities and sadness that we still can't hold our little angel in our arms we keep filling up this space with our thoughts and worries, so please enjoy and let us know what you think.. do you have any questions for us? feel free to ask away....Our friends Lisa and Brian celebrated theirs on October 19, 2007 so we exchanged gifts for the celebration....These are pictures of the beautifl one piece outfit full of ladybugs and a "ladybug" tea set they gave us to mark the date... Thank you Lisa and Brian we love our gifts!...

Cybershower for the "Autumn Angels", Fall 2007

We signed up with this new project for the last three months where we get to send a gift to a family whose name we know and we get to receive another gift from another family whose name we also know,,, It's nice to thank someone by name for a change.... so Thank You to James and Sherri for this beautiful gift. Ladybugs books for Madison.

Last CCAA update

In other words, families with LIDs on and before August 31, 2006 have left the "review room" and now are in the "referral room" which means they are done with the process and now are waiting to get their babies referrals.

Also, families with LIDs on or before November 30, 2005 have now received referrals for their little ones. Congratulations to all of these families...

We are still in the "pending rewiew" stage and it looks like we might be in the "review room" in a couple of months....

CCAA September 9, 2007 announcement

Introducing the new member of our family RICKY

Ricky was found at by the nurses at my doctor's office. He was wet, cold and very very hungry and thirsty. I only took one look at him to melt my heart and welcome him to the Frost household... He is now 3 months and the healthiest, happiest kitten in Broward county...

Our Secret Buddy Revealed....

We finally know! She's come forward, our Angel Secret Buddy has revealed herself. It is a pleasure to finally introduce our Secret Buddy to all our family and friends, Amy Darlington.

Thank you so much. Here are the last gifts we received from you we can't wait to see Madison play with the ducky on the surf board! and can't wait till we could take her to the beach so she could explore it with all the beach tools you sent her. And the dress and shirt sooo cute....and the butterflies... they'll be part of her room...Thank you thank you!... If you have a website, can you email me?? To everyone else enjoy!

Our Secret Buddy is the best

Our May 2007 SB gifts....

This time we received the most thoughtful gifts ever... A spinner with butterflies and ladybugs (you know us already!), we also got two panda bears, (one of them has music) and then you did no leave out our two babies, "Bellagio" (our yellow lab" and "Cleo" (our cat)... they both got a gift each. Bellagio got a tug of war w/a ladybug which I can't seem to bring myself to give it to him!!! and probably never will, it's just too adorable and a crunchy toy for Cleo which I hide only for her because if Bellagio sees it it will become his.... Just so happy for all our beautiful gifts, thank you our bestest SB... we love you,
Heidy and Joey Frost

Our April 2007 SB gifts

We so appreciate every detail and all the love you put into our gifts!

Thank you much
Heidy and Joey Frost
