update and info

So sorry for the delay. I have been so busy with my dad and the benefit that I have not updated as much as I should.

News: the beneift is over and we had a great turn out for it, We raised our goal amount and donations are still coming in. Again if anyone would like updates on how my dad is doing please visit GilKeene.blog spot.com for updates. I hope that my mom is doing updates I have not checked lately. My dad is doing great. He is walking with help and every once in a while he will say a word or two. He says Dorrine all the time. My mom and dad are still staying with Don and I until the wheel chair ramp can be built. The snow is almost melted so mom is working on that.

The delay in info posted is due to The benefit and dad and work.....Only 24 hours in a day and I really could use 28 hours. Now that the benefit is over that is one less thing that I have to worry about. Now my schedule is a little less. During the day I take care of dad and then work in the afternoon. Before I worked on the benefit stuff after work till bed, but now I can use that time to catch up on adoption stuff and spend time with Don.

The adoption wait is very close to a referral . They have given out babies through March 6th 2006 and we are logged in March 22, 2006. Minus the weekends and that is only 13 log in dates before ours.

If you are not informed on how the log in dates work please refer to the right hand side of the blog on info.

At the benefit (I / We ) bought a dresser that someone donated that was used. Actually Don went to the bathroom and he came out and wow we bought a dresser. As many of you know I am on a spending freeze for Makayla. So now I have this dresser that I am going to paint pink with green and blue polka dots to match her room. If you would like to see pictures of her room please scroll down this page or on the right hand side of the blog is a link to Makaylas room. Don says that the dresser is going to be to big for her room and the pink will be to much, but I think with the attached mirror that it will make the room look bigger, and if it does not turn out that I can just put the first dresser back in.

Back to the spending freeze Don has set me on. I keep telling Don and I have to get stuff like Diaper Rash cream in the states vs China, this is due to I can not read Chinese. I think it is diaper cream and we buy it in China and it is actually baby shampoo!!!!! Right!!!!!

So this leads me to a new pole. Should Dorrine be on a spending spree this close to a referral?????PLease vote!!!!
