A big THANK YOU

So I meant to include this in my post earlier but in the chaos of today I forgot.

There are quite a few people that I need to thank who made this whole thing possible.

Let’s start with the beginning- Sweet Erin at our adoption agency who was always there for me, to hold my hand through this crazy process, leading me to Jane- our other adoption “go to” who couldn’t have made this an easier process. Thank you.

The next thank you goes to my dear in-laws, who stepped up with a big fat loan that made this all possible. We were down to wire and without you, Eva wouldn’t be here with us. It’s that simple.

With that I should also thank the banks that loaned us the money to fund this adoption that ended up costing us way more than anticipated.

Thank you goes out to my mom, who came to stay with the boys when I was in Utah. And my dad, who survived without her.

My good friend Lynne- who stepped in last minute to watch the dogs so the boys could come see me on Mother’s Day. And for covering LAX rides.

My good friend Julie, for taking Cole and picking him up from pre-school when they wouldn’t release him to my mom.

To Aimee for keeping the biz going while I was away- and for continuing to take on more while I settle back in.

To Victoria’s Secret for being adoption friendly. Who would have thought.

To my husband- seriously, they don’t come any better than him.

And last, all you blog readers that offered me encouragement, it kept me going.

Now it is back to work- lots of bags to make and sell to pay off our huge debt.

But she is so worth it!

    Eva is becoming so alert, I love the way she looks at the boys.

    I am so happy that you are home — I can’t even imagine being away for so long. . . with newborn in tow! Perhaps there is an Eva bag in store — I’ll buy!

    The love and support of friends and family will definitely get you through the long, grueling process of an adoption, I know this first hand. Glad your family is all together now ( :

    She is soooooo cute! Reminds me of my neice when she was that young!

    I hope you don’t mind me asking, and hope it’s not a rude question but I’m curious… how much did the adoption cost? I don’t know much about it.. :X
